The Big Corn Roast
The annual u and ! corn roast
was held at the home OF Mr. ana
Mrs. Henry Stevens last night. The
long tables were loaded with deli
cious things to eat and there was
corn galore. About fifteen bushels
of corn was used last night. ii
anyone has never tasted roasted
corn he certainly has missed some
thing. There is flavor about
roasted corn which the boiled corn
never has. Hamburger, potatoes
and eggs were also roasted.
The young people played games
and the older people visited. Ev-
Everyone has been so busy this sum-
mer that there have been no U and
l gatherings and 1t was certainly
an enjoyable occasion for all. There
we're probably 600 people present.
this being the largest crowd that
ever attended corn roast.
H. E. Ackers spoke few well
chosen words in appreciation OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Stevens hospitality,
and extended to them the best
wishes of the community for pleas
ant trip and the hope OF all that
they may return to Abilene much
benefited in health.
DIR. Wilmer was asked to make
sneeeh but he declined very grac-
.iously and The and Mrs. Stevens
gave a burlesque of Castle Walk.
Was that it? Those who missed
seeing it certainly have something
to regret.
MANY thanks are extended to MT.
