The Firemen's Jubilee Supper last
Saturday was a great success. The
attendance was the largest of its kind
ever held in Greenwood. The receipts
from the supper amounted to more
than 1920. In the afternoon Elias
Bunting climbed the greasy pole and
received $11, which was tackled on
top of a 25 foot pole. Earnest Fleming
caught the greasy pig and received a
fine flashlight. William Gray of
BridgeVille won the pony race. In the
pie eating contest each person had a
huckleberry pie to eat with his hands
tied in back of him.
Honorable James Tunnel of
Georgetown gave a fine address, and
Jesse ROsenfeld, president of the NJ

way possible. The following officers

dent; George W. Hanks, vice presi-
