Thanksgiving day passed very qui-
city here at Reddick. A few of the
merchants called their dogs, shoulder
ed their guns and hied themselves to
the sandspur fields in search of quail.
but as we have heard no one Dragging
about the number of birds they killed
We suppose the legal number of birds
was not exceeded, so the game war
den need not lose any sleep over the
matter.
The League social at the parsonage
on Thanksgiving evening was very
much enjoyed by our young people.
The tine was passed very pleasant
ly. A nice program was carried out,
after which the time was passed in
playing games. cracking nuts. eating
apples. oranges, etc, and at a late hour
refreshments were served. Everyone
had a jolly good time
Mrs. Jessie Bishop of Sutherland
came up last week and spent several
days with her relatives and friends
here. Mrs. Bishop is always a well
come guest in every home here, and
she would have to make a long visit
if she were to spend even a short
while with all the friends who enjoy
her company.
The event Of the season was the
marriage on the evening of December
2nd. at the Methodist church of Mr..
Henry G. Tongue to Miss Maud D. De-
wore. The church was beautifully
decorated with evergreens, ferns and
white roses, all beautifully arranged,
and the church was crowded with
very much interested congregation.
Promptly at s o'clock Mrs. S. L. Fri

giant supper awaited them.
