GIVEN AT 0AKM0OR
FOR CHURCH BENEFIT

General Good Time Enjoyed

A beautiful and very ENJOYABLE
lawn party was given last Tues
dav evening by the ladies of the
Woman's Home Mission Society,
ofthe Methodist Episcopal church
South, at Oakmoor, the residence
of Paul M. Moore, on Main street.
The grounds were rendered at
tractive by artistic hanging of
many Japanese lanterns of bril-
liant colors and diverse shapes,
and abundant seating was pro-
vlded. Mrs. w. l.. Morrison,
chairman of the Society, was as
sisted by a number Of ladies of
the church, who had been assign
ed to the various committees.
About two hundred people were
present, of all ages. The wealth
er was ideal and all had a good
time, Delicious refreshments
were served and a fine, fruit
punch was literally urged upon
and enjoyed by all. A unique
feature of the evening was the
work of an expert palmist in the
person and presence of Miss Min
ME Bourland, who has given this
interesting science quite a little
study. Established in an orien-
tai tent in a sequestered spot
surrounded by schrubbery, she
sat, under a wierd, green light
and read character, the past and
the future with surprising accur.
acy and to the delight of many
young people who were guided
to the tent of mystery by an ac-
tive committee of young ladies
especially detailed for that pur.
pose. And she was busy the
whole evening. The company
voted "Uncle Dick" Ashby the
handsomest man and Miss Rose
| Fox the prettiest, girl. There
were numerous stunts done BY
the wearers Of various emblem
with which the guests were de
= cOrated upon arrival, and these
created much merriment. Ii
fact the ladies had the affair s,
we'll planned and directed tina
there was something doing al
the time. And the little folks
just played and played, and hat
: the best time! W. L. Morrison
and Rex McEuen are charged
with having done the most of tn
lighting about the grounds. Tn
"gate receipts" are declared t
be satisfactory, though the socia
side of the affair is considered O
even greater value by its pre-
motors.

continued, "You recollect that

with pride and satisfaction, "If
you add in the $2t3, 400 for the
Maysville road, that makes ST..
758, 1922 that was given in State
Aid way back yonder before land
was worth much and before there
was any factories or big business
to tax"
"Why do you reckon they done
it, Uncle Bill?"
because they had more every
day common horse sense than we
got, l reckon. They was sharp
enough to see that it wasn't any
tax but an investment to boost
the price of their land"
IL reckon that's so, Uncle
Bill"
"Sure, it's so. The poorer
your land the more you need a
road to make it sell. If it's first
class land and off the road. you
can sell it; but if it's poor and
off the road, you're up against 1t.
Most of our land-well, it's poor
enough to need a road to make il
sell for a good stiff price"
"Of course, every body knows
that good roads are needed and
needed bad"
"Well, then, if all Of us know
