THE HAPPENINGS AT HEROD
Exercises at Unwilling of Boulder
Greatly Enjoyed. News Notes
and Personal Mention.


Nature smiled on the noted occa-
sion of Wednesday. A lovelier day
could not have been chosen for the
unwilling of the boulder. The chap
ter regent, Mrs. w. A. McLain, was
at her best on this occasion, and add
ed new laurels to her popularity and
charming personality. The addresses
of Mrs. Foster and Mr.. Knight were
gems in their way. The children
sang we'll and Miss Jackson was
splendid. The entire program was
a success The dinner was one of
the best ever. The barbecue furnish
ed by the citizens of Herod and engi-
neered by Mr.. c. NJ. Harris was de-
lightful. All did their part, but Mr..
Harris was the leading spirit in
working to make the stands, tables,
ETC., a success. Miss Quinn and
Miss Harris, the little girls who did
the unwilling, were lovely and cute.
Everyone enjoyed the day, and we
hope the occasion will unite Dawson
and Herod in closer bonds than ever.
