| Misses Althea and Laura Armstrong
took Il watery drive of six and one-half
miles last Monday morning in the en-
deavor to join the crowd of Baptist Ia
dies who were going to serve lunch
at the Shoopman-G Gresham Joint public
sale, which did not take place because
of the continual downpour of rain.
We only got bird's-eye view of the
fine stock which was to have been sold,
but that small view convinced us that
il was wise for the owners to postpone
the sale in hopes of better day. The
sale will take place at the Shoopman
home as previously advertised, on
Tuesday, March ., at which time we
hope for bright sunny day with the
ground too wet to farm so the farmers
will all be there, and that those who
come from far and near may be in q
lenient mood and bid up well on the
fine large fat mules and sleek pretty
cattle. AS a committee of one who
helped to serve lunch we wish to thank
those who patronized us so literally
last Monday, as we tried to serve under
the disadvantage of the downpour OF
rain. We wish further to say that we
hope to do better next Tuesday. Here
is the bill of fare-Sandwiches filled
with generous slices of tender ham,
beef, or if you wish it, chicken; quar-
ter of good sized pie, any kind you
call for; and cake, large piece of dark
or golden angel food, ribbon or marble,
brown-stone front, or just any kind: and
coffee, all you can drink, with each
] lunch and as good as can be made by
the very besteXperts from the best branC
of coffee. Weare looking for a large
crowd and please do not go away hungry
