Tuesday, August 20.
Last Monday. bright and early, Mrs.
J. p { ar"y conceived the smart idna
Of having a community supper in
front Of her residence on Main Street.
Right off. she started the ball rolling
in the right direction by going around
and telling the neighbors, and by Sat
urday night everybody had line on
what was TO be done, and where il
was to be done and by whom. The
ladies began TO cook and each one
did her best at making some fine war
time dish. All the men and boys
made a heroic run for the river and
many nice catches of fish were their
reward. On Sunday at 5 o'clock the
big long table began to appear on
Main street and at six they were all
ready and 40 people were seated and
the big feed was on. The menu was
as follows: Mountain trout, sand
witches, hot rolls, hot biscuit, jellies.
radishes, onions, salad, baked beans
and cake and coffee. Yes. indeed. we
kept within the limits all right as
most all showed their patriotism BY
abstaining the use of sugar.
When supper was over and ev-
erybody had settled down to a Quiet
after supper talk, Joker appeared on
the scene with box of smokes and
Milt Campbell with hu~ch of Tags
which he gave to the children. Then
when the moon began to rise the old
faithful Victrola was brought forth
and dancing was enjoyed by all until
a late hour. Then games were PLAYED
such as pull away, drop the handker-
chief, spill the beans, and last but not
least the band was called out to put on
the final finish. The band consists of
the following: John Walsh, snare
drum; Happy keiser, wash tub; Oscar
Leehow, bells (cow); Frank Hodgson,
cornet; Chas. Cany, alto; Parker Nc
Mann. alto John Brook. band leader

we did this time.
