pant, with fine program OF music
and pranks and talks and "eats,' the
dinner of the Kiwanis Club at the
County High School on Friday night
proved to be the biggest event of the
kind of the year. Kiwanians, their
wives and their many guests had 'the
time of their lives" II was fun. frolc
and rollicking laughter from the time
the guests were seated at the table
until the adjournment three hours lat
er.
President Beasley, to whose untir-
ing efforts great credit is due for the
achievements of the Kiwanis Club and
especially for the success of~the even
ing, scored a triumph. He was given
an ovation and to cap the climax and
show him just how much the men,
bers did appreciate his services, a.
handsome gold watch was presented
to him. The speech of presentation
was made by Trustee William NJ.
Chaffin in well chosen words. There
was round after round of applause
when the president was honored

moment. Something was doing all
of the time. Some very clever and
quite original stunts were pulled off,
and one hardly knew when he was
safe.
The dining hall was appropriately
decorated for Halloween with pump
kin heads, ghosts and gobblins all
about. The dinner, prepared under
the personal direction of Mrs. F. X.
Estes, proved most tempting feast.

There were number of prizes dis

Mrs. Lucien S. Duke Despite the de-
termined and persistent efforts of
President Beasley to the contrary the
suffrage issue was not discussed. La
dies invited to discuss both sides of.
the issue declined to speak In fact
the banquet was remarkable for the
fact that although given every oppor-
tunity to talk the women let the men
do all of the talking. Probably the
women realized that they would soon
monopolize the stage and were charit-
able enough to give mere man his final
chance.
There were sueeches, some of them
Indifferent and others not. so good, but
it was a. generous crowd and apnlause
came in generous meaure for all who
attempted to entertain or intruct All
in all it was glorious night for the
KiWanis Club and marks an epoch
in the history of that Vigorous young
organization.
Two readings, one by Miss Flossie
Edwards and one by little Dorothy
Duke, We're highly appreciated and
brought forth enthusiastic encores.
