Something different and altogether
most delightful happened Tuesday
evening at the NJ. E. Church South
when the men of the church gave a
very grand banquet to the ladies. Now
the men did the work (but not the
cooking;) they wouldn't even let che
women assist in fixing the tables but
did it all and it was beautifully done.
At last the women can resign their
| places as mattresses at church dinners
and let the men do the work; they can
even turn all the work Of the church
dinners over to the men for they do it
80 much better and with so much more
ease and grace. The affair Tuesday
evening was a great success from cv-
cry standpoint and all agreed it was
The most delightful and most enjoyable
dinner they had had for a long time.
But we must tell a few things, about
the walters; wen Ray Miller and L. B.
Hawthorne convinced their wives that
they could wait table and Roy Bryarly
can get married AT ONCE; for the
l way he handled the kitchen work was
! simply great. Col. E. Y. Burton, DR.
Gregory and Eugene Kent went at 1t
I like they we're old timers at the job,
Even Humphrey Craddock, George
Coakley, Lester Miller, and Rus
sell Emmons wore white ap-
rons and didn't spill a thing,
We found out this much, the
Hotels need never worry over walters
for banquets. Just go to the Methodist
church and take your pick,and some OF
our girls, l hear, can hardly wait fol
, leap year to tell some Of the young
men how very grand they are. Nov
we would praise not only the walters
for much credit is due Chas. Adams
J. NJ, Allen, Mr.. Saylor and E. F. Eli
lott for they did the checking oS The
wraps and did it all right Everything
was done for the guests and with S
P. Emmons, and Rev. W. C. Cowart, il
their head waiter uniforms directing
the men and looking their best, This
was the most delightful affair evel
given in the church. Only one regret
is registered and that is that some Of
our men had to stay at home and keeI
the children. L. M. White and C. G
Bledsoe were kept away on this &C
count, and j. G. Lakenan had the SANE
excuse for Of course grandchildren haC
to be looked after; but we hope next
time all the men can get there; espec'
tally those whose wives are taking
part on tn program. We hope the
men will give another banquet agar
soon and l am sure the room won't
