AMT NATURE WONDERFUL
Banquets, Etc.
The word banquet used to mean
feast. Probably it did when mankind
was just learning to talk and couldn't
do anything else at a banquet but eat.
But as mankind grew older they de-
Veloped meanness, hence banquet
speakers.
With these banquet speakers no
one ever should be afraid of swallow
ing hot potato OF getting food down
the windpipe, You don't get a
chance. You do penance by listen
ing to the speaker. You have to ap-
plaud his speech because American
flags are always on display at ban
quets.
They soak you or 10 dollars a
plate at a banquet. Plate is right,
although a $40 plate isn't any more
nutritious than sand 10-cent store
plate and besides you, can take the
and 10-cent store plate home. These
diet squaders think they are starting
something new but they copied their
act from banquets.
The words a banquet speaker says
that always strike home and make
a hit with the unfortunates are,
Gentlemen, I thank you" Then the
banquet is all over and the banquet
ers awake, smoke awhile, then go
home for something to eat.
BanqUeters never suffer from in
digestion or insomnia.

Very Old Violin
At South Pittsburg

Joe Dunaway, Of South Pittsburg,
has in his possession q very old vio-
lin, which has been in the possession
OF the family 80 long that record Of
when it was purchased or how obtain
ed has beon lost All that is known
Is that it antedstes the Civil War,
and even then by reason of its age had
acquired such a sweet tone that the
owner, fearful lest thieving sOldiery
should confiscate it, buried it in a
box and for several years it remained
underground. The box containing 1t
rotted, but the violin wac unharmed.
It is "Hope" violin in make, . ma
ker celebrated for good violins. The
instrument was used FOR years mp to
his death by an uncle Of Mr.. Duna-
way, who was blind, but who took
great delight in Craving forth its
sweet tones It Is not in good repair
now, and mice have slightly gnawed
the "f'' holes. but 1t would not cost
much to revive the old violin, and
some day some master is going to DO
40, and let it once more pour its
sweetness upon the stormtossed world.
Powers, violinist once famous In
this section and especially around
Chattanooga, where he did much or
chestral work, offered tempting fig.
ure for this violin, but the Dunaway
family refused it as it is q family
heirloom. coated along with the dust
and CRIME Of many years with family
tradition. They have refused many
offers for the old violin. and. in fact,
upon loaning IL to violin enthusiast,
had to constitute themselves q sber-
ifs posse to recover 1t, SO charmed
did he get with its dainty sweetness.
