POSSUh CLUB HELD
 ANNUAL BANQUET
Function Attracted Unusuai Atten- ,;ou and Attendance Was Greater Than Provided For-Election of
 President a Feature.

The annual meeting and banquet os inc Polk County Possum Club held last Saturday night at the Hotel Nena added another interesting chapter to the history of this dis tincfively Polk county organization. The total attendance was i3i, which ,,xceeded the capacity of the spa cious dining room of the hotel, tho tbe committee in charge of the gen. eral arrangements had made every effort to limit the sale of tickets to inc number that could be accommo- dated at one time. But despite all the efforts, fourteen persons bought tickets beyond the limit.
 The banquet was the best that had been served under the direction of Mrs. Georgia Phillips of the Ho- tel Mena, who, by the way, has served all the banquets held of the club. The menu was as follows:
 Roast possum Roast Turkey Sweet, Potatoes Cranberry Sauce
 Bread and Butter
 Pickles Celery Pumpkin Pie Perslmmons
 Coffee
 An item not on the regular menu, which came as a surprise to the members of the club and their guests, was bottle of Pablo for each banqueter, which came with the compliments of the Reynolds Davis Grocery Company.
 The roll call disclosed that the membership now comprised some of the most prominent men in the United States, including President Woodrow Wilson, Ex-President Taft and others of that class. The business session following the roll call was almost entirely devoted to the election of officers for the en- suing 'possum year, and the greatest interest centered about the election of the president. B. s. Petefish has held the office since the club was or ganized, and has served tine club most efficiently, but in the skirmish for reelection, such men as T. R. Jones, Sr., Judge J. I. Alley and Sheriff H. w, Finger were placed in nomination in oratorical nominating speeches, but when the smoke of the skirmish had cleared away, MT. Petefish was unanimously re-elec- ted, thing that was in contempla- tion all the time. All the other off, cers were reelected by exclamation.
 The main decorative feature for the banquet was placed in the hotel office, and consisted of a persim- mon tree loaded with fruit, and nestling in the branches, two snow-white 'possums. Another fea- ture was a pail of the "'possum Club Brand" of sorghum, which is being made famous thru the efforts of W. A. Ragland as sales manager.
