BOX SUPPER
AT TOWN HALL
Proves to Be Great Success
Financially and Otherwise.

The box supper at the Town Hall
Saturday night was a very successful
affair. Sixteen of the sweetest girls
in town leo up beautiful boxes of ban
anas, etc, to be chewed by the gallant
ball boys and their friends, four boxes
of canGy were also sweetened up by
other interested girls, two beautiful
compositions of -four, eggs, milk, sug
ar, butter, extract, baking powder,
and brains-to make EN- were dona-
ted by two very excellent near WIDOWS
of the town, and "crackerjacks" a
popcorn confection from a Chicago
slaughter house-we mean packing
house-tilled in unengaged chewing
intervals
The festivities were opened at 730
by piano and violin selection, "Home-
ward March," by Miss Louise Hill
and W. G. Hill, piano selection by
Miss Nina Randle, Petit Tonkin-
oise," by the first two performers, an
other piano selection by Miss Randle,
and concluding selection, "Love in
Black and White" by the Hill aggre-
cation. All selections were as raptu-
ously applauded as the hunger of the
audience would permit.
Mr. Thomas then took charge of the
services as auctioneer, and he, as u.s.
ual, was a capital official. He inveig-
led the ducats from the pockets of the
boys amid the smiles of the gills until
the neat sum of 1923 05 was garnered,
and it is very sure that the ball boys
were delighted, and just think the
girls are tue sweetest things going.

The cakes were voted for at $2 so
each by the duplicate numbered ticket
method. A ballot box was secured and
100 votes were all cast, little Miss
Juanita Brewer, with the grace (her
mothers name is Grace) and abandon
usual to one of her years and expert
ence, showed her tiny fist into the
thoroughly mixed up mass of tickets
and drew forth d ticket for each cake.
The first ticket was No. 10 and Doug
las Coppinger got it; the second ticket
was No. 80. VILE Martin was the
lucky person. Two hungry gents got
cake Immediately. The amount from
the two cakes was five plunkety-
plunks.
The receipts from the Chicago Bust
ed Corn Construction was not so love-
ly, 50 55 worth was sold, not enough to
pay for the amount of that article of
diet bought However, the club has
about forty five boxes in reserve at
sc each, and if any individual wants
to become as phat as millionaire in
"a hours time he is invited to pur-
chase it, eat package, drink a half
gallon of water, eat another package
and drink another half gallon of wa
ter, and so on, until he has the entire
lot consumed at sitting, and If he
don't look as phat as a millionaire
it won't be any phault of the popcorn
and water.
The total receipts of the evening
we're pleasantly found to be $50. 65,
from which small expense is deduct
ed, leaving $26 80. An order for sup
plies of balls and mitts is already in,
and there is going to be something do
ing 1T the bail line in the old town in
a short time. A wire backstop 18 to
"a feet high and 80 feet long will be
erected at the south end grounds,
where tue club will be forced to re-
main through default of being able to
secure better grounds.
The ball club is delighted with the
sweet behavior of the Sequachee gills
in the matter, and suggest that as the
bail season will soon be on and the
bawling be in order, that they attend
every game and help in the bawling,
