Davis-Roper Co. Entertains.
AS compliment to the clerks in
their big department store, Davis
Roper Company was the host at a
magnificent turkey dinner last Thurs
day afternoon at o'clock, The ta-
bles were spread in the rear end Of
tho store, where the guests were
without any trouble made to feel
thoroughly at home. The informality
of the occasion and the general good
feeling that pervaded made it as en-
joyablc an occasion as could we'll be
had. AS most substantial assistant
to these In making the dinner pleas
ant, the hosts had prepared supper
that will go down in history as an
appetite's best friend. There were
turkey, and ham, oysters in several
DISCUSSES, chicken salad, potatoes,
pickles, olives, celery and whole
raft Of other delicacies. For dessert
there were ice cream and cake and
several speeches.
DR.. ID. A. Davis acted as toastmas-
ter, and after Introducing himself,
made few appropriate remarks
about the business in general and
about his pleasure in having such
fine bunch OF clerks to entertain. Ho
then introduced Mr.. G. II. Roper who
talked most entertainingly about tho
history Of the company and those who
had been with the store in the past
years. He also spoke very feelingly
of the valuable assistance the propri-
ctors Of the store had received from
the clerks and assured them that it
was through their interest in the
store and their good help that had
made the business the success that 1t
has BEEN Mr.. McAlister was then
called upon and in few well-select-
cd and apt words thanked the hosts
and promised for his department
continuance OF their best efforts. Fol
lowing Nc. McAlistcr, the toastmas-
ter and all the balance called for
Mr.. Fleming Smith, who spoke these
few but disastrous words 81 am too
full for uttcrance." This broke up
the party.
