Kiwanian colors. AS they approached
the dining room the Terrell County
Orchestra under direction OF Miss
Bertha Lee, rendered the latest must
cal numbers Throughout the enter

reflected much credit on the dlrec-

palms, ferns and cut and potted flow

well chosen remarks, welcomed the
fair visitors and a response was given
by Mrs. Guy Chappell in very pleas
ing manner.
Attendance cards were signed and
collected as the first course OF the din
ner was begun. The secretary was
asked to read the minutes OF the last
meeting. Mr.. W. A. Mitchell, in his
own inimtable way, presented these,
Mr. r. R. Marlin. This
burlesuue was a scream from start to
finish. As the president arose to put
a matter before the club he was in
terrupted by Mr. Mitchell, who stated
that he had an important letter to
read. This was from some poultry or
ganization concerning the veraclty OF

Mr.. J. c. Hollingsworth was appoint

was well received. At this point MIR.
MITCHELL as secretary popped up
again with another important letter,
and rendered his resignation, stating
that his salary was in arrears, and that
no member except himself was i'll po-
sition to be re-instated on account OF
non-payment of dues. The same com
mittee was appointed to look into this
matter thoroughly.
After various reports, discussions
and motions which were carried with
out a vote, Mesdames J. A. Shields,
w. Fl. Gurr and r. r. Jones were ask
I'd to tell why they married their re
,pective husbands T hese replies
brought down the house. The young
ladies' present were given an oppor-
tunty to state just why they had not
married but did not avail themselves.
Miss Evelyn Lovett came next with
an original selection--a playlet in one
act the entire skit being composed OF
titles OF songs, at some time popular.
She received much applause. Mr..
again reminded the member
ship that all dues should be paid with
out further delay
Mr.. Dukes then announced that the
committee had at con
siderable trouble and expense secured
the services of Alexander, who knows
it all. who would settle any problem
either in business or love affairs. A
number of questions were read by
DR.. S. P. Kenyon which Mr.. AleXan-
der proceeded to answer. Mr.. Dan
Finn took the part of the mind read

Mrs. CLYDE Newman and Miss Nellie
LANG sang a duet with Miss Lee as
accompanist. Miss LANG also gave
solo that was much enjoyed. Mr..
Mitchell again reminded the members
of non-payment of dues, and the same
committee was appointed to investi-
gate and report
Each lady present was given prize,
a souvenir of the occasion. The one
the most mirth was mys-
terious package drawn by Mrs. l..
lamar. said to contain a quart. Sew
eral gentlemen's prizes were awarded,
Mr.. R. D. Smith winning the capital
prize, a child's rocker, donated by Mr..
Mitchell Mr. Clyde Newman also re-
ceived useful and appropriate gilt,
Mr.. Dukes then rose, but was in
terrupted by the erstwhile secretary,
who protested that his services were
still unpaid for, and to again remind
the members that they were in arrears
with their dues. The same committee
was again appointed to investigate
and report Resuming the stand, Mr..
Dukes laying all burlesque aside, ask

en- to each one who had contributed
time and talent to make the entertain
ment a success. Mrs. R. P Lee de
serves special mention for the lovely
fve-course dinner so beautifully serv-
ed, which was no small part OF the
evenings success.
The Kiwanis club means a great
