Mr.. and Mrs. Will Hamper Entertain.
Mr.. and Mrs. Will Hamper are up
holding the hospitality of the Hamper
family, which has been well known for
several generations in a most pleasing
manner. A proof of this was attested
Thursday afternoon when they gath
cred together those of their friends
who were formerly of their old
home, Enterprise. Miss, for a
picnic at their home on Hardy
street. The affair had been planned
for the out-of-doors, but the rain made
this impossible and the company en-
joyed the bountiful picnic luncheon in
the dining room. A pleasing feature of
the evening was that the company
were served by an old family servant,
Lillian" who came here from Enter
prise and volunteered her services for
/ this gathering, whom she considered
her own white folks" Victrola
music, with Mr.. William Hamper, Jr.,
operating the machine, added much to
the enjoyment of the occasion as did
the several songs by Mr.. P. l.. CASTOR.
