Vernon Parish Democrat., 1921-02-24

for a good start on Monday In the
evening at 8 o'clock, the Mental Sci
ience class held its regular meeting and
a large attendance Of colonists made
their appearance. Comrade Cantrell
lis now permanent chairman until this
special course Of lessons is finished.
Comrade Gleeser acted as reader and
Teacher. Self-control is one Of the
main objects of our studies. After the
meeting everybody went to the hotel
to hear picked-up program rendered
and it was real honey affair and a
family spirit pervaded the atmosphere.
The two Caron boys made their bow
before the audience for the first time.
A new quartette also appeared, COM
posed of Comrades Thomas, Caron,
Gleeser, and myself. Cantrell queered
us as he introduced us as the Dixie
Pride Quartette. He was thinking Of
our bread, and all that we could show
was the crust; and. in spite Of all the
crowd could do to prevent it, we car
ried cut our part of the program. By.
the way, Geo. Thomas bowed twice,
once with the quartette, and also with
la solo. We all enjoyed social feel
ing and the numbers rendered.
