Jenny, September 90
tsWe are living, we are dwelling,
In a grand and awful time;
In an age, on ages telling,
To beliving is sublime
Anyone doubling this should stay
at Jenny's awhile; business splced
with fun makes the days pass rapidly.
The air is filled with the songs OF
the happy darky as he, with his pipe
and sacks, gathers the feecy staple;
truly cotton picking is the negro's
ideal season.
Then the gin furnishes music too,
s'to soothe the savage" for 1t Keeps
almost perfect time with the oio
clock on the shelf-one bale out, an
other under the great suction pipe,
almost every half-hour during the
day.
The "store-keeper," too, is busy
with his creditors, settling accounts,
etc., and weighing cheese.
Mrs. DR.. Loadholdt has her sister,
Miss Lillian Miller, from North Caro-
lima with her for few weeks.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. D. Jenny enter
tained at dinner last Thursday few
special friends in honor of Miss Mil
Ter. Mrs. Jenny is surpassed by few
in the culinary department, 80 her
guests had no trouble in satisfying
the inner-man.
Mr.. Willie Jenny and his charm
ing better half entertained, the same
evening, a crowd Of jolly folks at
their beautiful home, costly nestled
among the oaks. After a few hours
of tsfrolic and fun" and some excel
lent music, the crowd was invited
into the dining room where delicious
refreshments were served IN most
fascinating manner. In the wee
sma-hours' the crowd reluctantly de-
parted to their respective homes, con-
Tossing Mr.. and Mrs. Jenny the best
of entertainers.
The members of the knights Of
Pythias lodge gave fish-fry in honor
of Mr.. Herbert Gyles, their famous
orator, on Wednesday evening, Sep
tember Is. At 4:30 the ladies of the
, community began to gather at the
magnificent home of Capt. j. W.
Jenny, and to get busy with the fish;
soon they were ready and the fry
began. These ladies certainly under
stand their business, for very soon
pans were heaped with the most de-
licious Drowned fish and gallons OF
steaming hot coffee. The supper was
pronounced ready about $3.50. We
were invited to fish supper, but the
table was heaped with eatables OF
every description, with pans Of hot
fish at short intervals the whole
length of the table, with hot conee
and ice tea for everybody. This
table showed that Jenny's is in the
Gland of plenty"
The supper over, the large crowd
who had come to welcome Mr.. Gyles
and to hear his speech, were invited
upstairs to a mental feast. Mr.. Gyles
Is a gifted orator and well deserves
his position. His lecture was indeed
q feast; full of good instruction and
encouragement to his brother
KNIGHTS, and many we'll deserved
compliments to the good ladies of this
vicinity.
The ladies of this country con do
more than fry fish and prepare big
supper; they know how Ito lend a
helping hand in time of need. One
lady had a quilt in frames and was
diligently working away all by herself
to finish this seemingly never-ending
task, when 10 one afternoon some OF
her nearest neighbors came over and
greatly shortened her task. She IS
very grateful to these ladies and asks
that they come again some afternoon,
for times are hard in spots around
Jenny's.
Rev. D. B. Groseclose filled his
regular appointment here Sunday
morning. Gave his hearers a grand
discourse on Life and it's Vicissi-
tudes." Mr.. Groseclose does not like
his parishioners to be querulous, so
warns them against the habit of COM
planning about trivial things.
