It was at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. B. Lee on Friday, July 9th. The
guests were Mr.. Smith, wife and
daughter from Vinton, La, Mr.. and
Mrs. Ash, Mr.. A. G. Smith and his
two sons, Lloyd and Lee and Rev.
Hervey and family. The occasion was
the 10th anniversary of Mr.. j. B. Lee
and also the Goth anniversary Of Mr..
Smith of Vinton. Mr.. Lee and Mr..
Smith for a long time were neigh
bors in Crowley and their birthdays.
coming on the same day, they have
had the pleasure of this celebration
together many times, some times in
the Lee home and again in the Smith
home. Such joyous and happy events
sweeten life and lengthen it too.
1t was a rainy day or others would
have been present. The honored vet
Grams received several present which
made them remember the days in the
long ago when they used to wait for
good st. Nicholas to come and dis
tribute his annual gifts.
When II O'Clock struck a very
happy announcement was made by
Mrs. Lee. Come out to dinner. After
short <.ayer of thanksgiving for
the mercies of God and asking a
blessing on The company, especially
on the two counting their 60th and
10th 1ile board, we were asked to
help ourselves. The fact was proven
that Mrs. Lee is a splendid cook.
The good things we had were too M
merous to mention, bit few will be
enough to make you hungry. Baked
chicken and dressing served on dish
which was wedding present to Mr..
Lees mother Sweet corn of the
best, pies and cakes in abundance.
Well, we felt like the little boy who
went to his grandfather's in the
country, who was told that he could
eat all he wanted, but presently was
found weeping, and when asked the
cause, said: 81 can't eat all | want"
The relation of pleasant experiences
and happy and neighborly conversa-
ftion were freely and heartily indulg-
ed. The occasion was very conducive
to pleasant converse.
May you, my brethren, have the
joy of counting many more mile
stones and may your path shine
brighter and brighter unto the per-
feet day.
Mr.. Smith and wife and Miss Lucy
remained over Sunday and worshipped
with us and their old time friends.

people so much.

Republicans Accept Woman Suffrage
in Principle.
Chicago, June 10.-Woman suffrage
ran a curious curse in the Republic
an convention.
First denied a place in the plat
form, then accepted as a party plank
without reservation, it finally found
it's resting place in the Republican
resolutions as a favored proposition
in principle, but with the p~reviso that
each state would settle the
suffrage question for itself"
The pianks offered by the newly
formed women's party, which would
have pledged the Republican party to
the SO called Susan B. Anthony amend
ment, was rejected.
The plank adopted conforms more
nearly to the requests made in resolu-
tons by the National American Wom-
ans Suffrage association.
