Last Saturday Messrs. O 0. Tim
merman and J. T. Gritfis took sew
eral young people down to Stevens
Creek to fish. Whether the wind was
too high or a preference of Dry
land'' fishing prevented real fish
dinner, we do not know how that
was, but however having had sutfi-
cient experience in the uncertainty
of either satisfying the appetite of
a party on occasions like that nice
lunch was provided and spread for
the enjoyment of all.
Preferring the amusement of
the children, rather than fishing,

ton-wood trees and lovely willows,
on the carpet of bermuda grass was
spread a spotlessly white cloth
bearing just the things that we

farms, making a scene of most
lasting impression. But back of
this spread was the sweetest picture.
A happy home, despite atfiictlon,
ruled by an affectionate father, a
kind and untiring mother, who so
graciously provided this lunch for
our pleasure. We feel under last
ing obligations to Mr.. and Mrs.

Mrs. Tillman Howle for their many
courtesies extended us on this Ell.
