The Ladies' Aid Society of the
Christian church met yesterday and
enjoyed spend the day party with
Mrs. C. E. Winston and her mother,
Mrs. Whitfield, the occasion being for
the purpose of preparing the meats to
be used at their lunch stand during
fair week. Some fourteen ladies re-
sponded to the call of the chairman
and all were promptly on hand at the
appointed hour, with wash dresses
and immense kitchen aprons on. At
a large table placed in the nooky
back yard of Mrs. Winston's pretty
home, the fun began when twenty
chickens and five big turkeys with
more to come were brought forth
from the execution block for fair
fingers to pick. My! how the feathers
flew and fun ran riot until long past
the usual lunch time. At last when
all the birds were dressed, sailed and
peppered they were sent to cold stor-
age to await their turn for the oven
and their final serving at the tables
by these good ladies who have under
taken the great task of furnishing
those delicious dinners that have be-
come famous to the patrons of the
Marion County Fair. Then Mrs.
Winston, assisted by her mother,
served in the dining room, which was
made most attractive, an elegant
dinner. This brought to a climax one
of the most unique parties ever
given in this city. To say how much
the affair was enjoyed would be i'm
possible. It was great and thorough
ly enjoyable.
