; You know, as grow older i have
weakness for going to country Wed
dings, and can't help it. 1t brings
to mind the days OF my boyhood, when
I went to weddings at the home OF
Mr.. Henry Summer when Ben Kemp
son and Bunyan Epting and all those
others who were so fortunate as to
fool the daughters of this good man
were married and the old time we'd
ulnS ulHHcT was SEW ihOFS -
will not be out of place for ME to re-
mark that just like the old way
little better of having q long table
and the guests seated to enjoy the
meal instead of handing it around.
This new way, to my mind. has just !
tendency to take away from the un-
ioueness of the old time country we'd
ding. But then these are new days
and time changes all things. And
DON'T forget that at these weddings
70 which I refer | was wee small
boy.
Mrs. Shannon had very elaborate
supper and I enjoyed it very mucl
and after the service in the dinin z
room demonstrated my apprecia-
ton by going to the serving room ami
taking new supply right there i
taking new supply right therf
That chicken salad and country
! ham, .ah, so fine that it makes ore
hungry to write about it. 1t was
very interesting occasion and
one long to be remembered. nope
there will be another at Kay Shan
mons very soon.
