Saturday evening.
The National Annuity drill team
had a rabbit hunt Friday, the pro-
ceeds to be used in preparing an
Oyster supper. They took sides and
the losing side was to do the work in
preparing the supper. They decided
after the hunt not to have the supper
until they could have the members
also, which will call for another hunt.
Last Tuesday night number of
friends and relatives surprised Mr..
and Mrs. A. L. Wix on their 25th
wedding anniversary. The children
and Clark Wix made them a present
of a writing desk and a book case
combined. Those present were: Joe
Wix and family, B. Wix and wife,
Mrs. Wess Hall and children, E. E.
Morilla and wife. They had a nice
supper for them which they all en-
joyed. We are sorry that we did not
hear all the names.
We were out at the Rabbit Ridge
literary last Friday night. The de-
bate was, "Resolved, that the capa-
bility of man was greater than that of
women" 1t was decided by judges
in favor of the negative side. r. L.
Lynn and Henry Bean were on the
negative side, Bob Clemmings, Will
liam Holstein and few more were
on the positive. The secretary was
absent and they had to elect one. 1t
was quite time before they could
get anyone to serve, but they elected
Clarence Rayborn. This program
was excellent, one dialogue and sew
eral recitations and songs. The paper
was good this time, they got off
some good jokes on the people. The
ones chosen to write the paper next
week are Mr.. William Brown and
Miss Viva Lynn.
"The Pleasant Gap Lodge met Sat-
urday night. This was their regular
meeting. Chas. McComb was with
them Saturday night.
Lee Ellington's friends surprised
him Saturday night with a birthday
supper. We hope they all had nice
time.
We see that Miss Edna Thomas of
Double Branch is falling behind in her
race, but we think if she will get Jack
King to help her out she will make
it alright.

Fischer were hunting Thursday and
