Mr.. Richard F. Hall The Host
To Large Gathering {.
Pocomoke Friends
MR.. JOHN S. McMASTER
THE GUEST OF HONOR

One of the most pleasing social
events ever staged in our town was
that of Monday evening last when
Mr.. Richard F. Hall, of New York,
was the host and Mr.. John S. McMas
ter of Jersey City, was the guest Of
honor. These two gentlemen, BON
reared in Pocomoke City, really seem
like our own home folks, for they
have always held their home town in
sacredness although their business in
terests for many years have been in
that great metropolis known as New
York. And their friendship one for
the other seems to have grown as the
years have come and gone.
In honor of Mr.. McMaster's birth
day anniversary, Mr.. Hall arranged
the evenings entertainment and Sc
lected their old home town as the
place of holding it. When We say 1T
was one of the finest affairs of it's
kind ever witnessed in this section,
we speak but the truth. To add to
the pleasure of the occasion many of
cur home people were asked to be
present and the genial host and his
guest of honor enjoyed the evening
among people of their own kind ana
liking.
The banquet was held in the Pres.
hyterian Church parlor and was pre-
pared and served by the energetic and
efficient ladies of that church. Covers
were spread for 100 persons and
nearly all of the seats were taken, a
few of those. invited being unable to
be present. Keen appreciation was
shown by those present of the tempt.
ing menu which consisted of the fol-
lowing, served in four courses.
Oyster Cocktail Saltines
Fried Scollops, Baked Salmon, Chips
Rolls, Coffee
Creamed Shrimp, Fried Oysters, Buns
Rice Croquettes, Lobster Salad
Ice Cream, Cake
Cigars Cigarettes
Mr.. John w. Ennis acted as toast
master and several after dinner
speeches were made. Those respond
ing were Mr.. Richard F. Hall, Mr..
John S. McMaster. and Judge William
F. Johnson, of Snow Hill. After an
enjoyable smoker and a season of 50,
cial enjoyment the company dispersed
expressing many thanks to Mr.. Hall
and wishing the guest of honor many
more returns of his birthday anniver-
sary.
