T. Wallace, who live near town.
MIR. Wallace didn't know that his

among them two sons, Mr.. Arnold
Wallace, of Bloomington, ILL.,, and
Mr.. Ira Wallace, of FCrdsville, and
number of other out-of-the-county
fricrds, together with the neighbors,
making a total of Sc guests.
Mr.. Wallace was somewhat dis
turbcd about making preparations
for dinner for so many, but he was
as happy as boy and as gay as :,
lark, nevertheless. But about this
time he went to the kitchen to see
il the cooking force was sufficient.
There he found the surprise. Sew
eral big fat turkeys, chickens, cakes,
and everything good had already
been prepared, "unbeknowin' ;" to
Mr.. Wallace. Then he got happy
sure enough.
Mrs. James Cecil, who was one Of
the neighborhood guests, said it was
the biggest Thanksgiving dinner she
ever attended and the most pleasant
affair of the season.
Mr.. Wallace's son Arnold, pre-
scented his father with fur over
coat, which he purchased as he
came through Chicago.
There were several from Fords-
Vile, Mr.. and Mrs. Amos Cheek,
Mrs. Davis Royal, Mrs. Lula and Lii
lie Mae Royal. and Mrs. Neal, of
Whitesville.

made a strong attack on the Republi-
can platform adopted at Chicago a
week ago.
He said that IN callinig the rural

tive Ineffective the convention
charged practically every Republican
in the Senate and almost every Repub-
lican in the House with having voted
for an Ineffective law" for in the
Senate tho vote on tho measure was
81 TO s and in the House 2s5 to 10.
He added sarcastically:
II suppose this denunciation OF their
fellow Republicans was caused by the
fact that of the Ave Republicans In the
Senate who voted against the rural
credits bill which passed that body.
