House Party at Spring Lake.

never half way do things was we'll ex-
emplified by the success of the house
party that was given at the Spring |
Lake Club House last week. 1t has
been the custom for the past several
years for Jim Trimble and June Bowers |
to arrange for party for the pleasure |
and enjoyment of the young people of !
Grenada and the surrounding towns, |
and the parties have usually been held |
at Squirrel Farm, but this year it was
deemed advisable to transfer the scene |
Of festivities to Spring Lake.
To mention all the good things to eat
would take up entirely too much space,
but we feel that we should give to
those who were not so fortunate as to
| be present some idea, and so we name
over a few choice articles of food such
as barbecued lamb. roast pig. barbe.
cued squirrel, barbecued and fried
| chicken, Brunswick stew, cakes, salads,
sandwiches and pickles of all kinds.
But the eating was not all; there Is
the lake. which is a most ideal place
for bathing and boating, and the moon
was in all its glory and there were seats
arranged all along the banks of the lake
where the spooning lovers could sit hour
by hour unmolested. and pour out
to each other their songs of love.
Those who were not so deeply in love
were not compelled to go off to them
selves, but there was music provided
every day and night by Rabbit and the
Municipal band led by B. G. White.
and the large dance hall was well filled
. at all times.
/ There were many features of the oc-
cason too numerous to mention, but
