ENTERTAINED CHILDREN
Ladies' Of the P. {. 0. Society Gave
Their Annual Childrcn's Party
last Thursday Afternoon.

The ladies' of the p. E. o. society
gave their annual children's party
last Thursday afternoon when they
entertained about three hundred
little guests in a delightful manner.
The children had been invited to
meet at the p e. O. hall at 2
o'clock, and then they were all TAX
en- to the Idle Hour theatre, the en-
tire house having been bought for
them, and extra seats placed in the
theatre to accommodate the big
crowd. And there was not single
vacant seat in the house. The
managers of the theatre practically
donated the entertainment to the
ladies in charge OF the affair, for
which they are under obligations. A
special film of pictures for the chill
dren was presented and the big
crowd of urchins enjoyed the enter
tainment, and their behavior was
excellent. At the conclusion of the
treat of candy and apples and then
all gathered on the west steps of the
court house where a picture. was
taken by w. c. Stempel. The chill
dren were so good in remaining

he had not been the possessor of the

county, he never would have gotten

your life to see the children crowd

est parents in the city elbowing with
the children of the poorest family in
Leon, all happy and contented and
having al good time. The P. E. O..
ladies have given many children's S
parties in Leon, but the one last
week eclipsed all previous ones, and
they made the heart OF every child
