day of this week when the Old Folks
committee rendered them their anpu-
al old peoples party. The affair be-
gan with the rendition Of good
spicy program Of speeches. jokes ind
songs, after which the tables were
spread with a feast that would have
done honor to any of the tables IL
the royal family and It was q source
of enjoyment to see our veteran sires
sit down to the same. When they had
eaten to their hearts content they
were permitted to revive the memoir
les Of the past in an hour of old time
dancing in which they fully enjoyed
themselves. The day was made dou-
bly, bright by the assistance rendered
by the boys composing the brass band
Their enlivening strains of music
were heard about town during the
morning and they were present 10
help the program move during the
afternoon. 1t was well toward five
o'clock when the dance was at an end
and they were conveyed to their
homes. We appreciate these grey
haired citizens in our midst and we
love to honor them for what they
have done for our welfare in the past.
To see them enjoying the pleasant
ries of the day, makes us feel that II
would be good to have them with us
always, and 1t is our wish that they
may live many years to enjoy Just
such entertainments as they were
accorded today. God bless our Old
folks.
