ment committee in charge promises to
excel anything ever done on former oc-
casions like this; so-"Should auld ac-
quaintance be forgot and never brought
to mind" we haste to say-"That here's
a hand, my trusty frien', and gie's a
hand o thine "When will do see de
bees a hummin' all roun de comb; When
will da hear de banjo tummin' down in
the good ole Home" why, all next
week, of course. Blow the trumpets,
ring the bells, tell them far and near
that the gate to the Old Home town is
wide open, and the latchstring hangs on
the outside of every log cabin. The pots
are boiling and all the "mammies" are
going to be logged out in their old ging-
hams and white pinafores, and such a
smile on their faces you never saw, just
because they are all ready and waiting
for next week to come. Even old Jim
has seen to it that the barn floors are
all swept and garnished the horses all
groomed, and "nigger" could see his
face in the brass on the door knobs. So
come all you "yung uns" from 40 and
upwards, just as soon as you hear the
first horn toot, for then we're off for the
biggest, most gala time any "Punkin
Center inhabitant' ever heard tell OF.
