The supper given by the Volunteer
Fire Company last week was a so
cial and financial success. Mrs. A. +
w. Boone and Mrs. John c. Darby
supervised the affair while a large
percentage of the community con-
sisting of public spirited men and
women worked increasingly from be-
ginning to end for its success. The
hall was quite attractive in appear
ance with baskets of lovely roses
donated by the Milford Floral Gar
dens. The tables were attractive
with bouquets of pear blossoms and
the yellow wild flowers so abundant
at this time. Contributions came
from everywhere in the neighbor-
hood of country and town and were
much appreciated. II
The supper was simply delicious.
This is the testimony of over four
hundred guests who sat down to the
bounteous repast of chicken salad,
Virginia baked ham, fried oysters,
cold slaw, potato salad, Jelly, rolls,
Delaware biscuits, pickles, cake, pie
and coffee. Can you beat it?
The fire company wishes to thank
everyone who in any way helped to
make the supper a success. A good
sum was realized from the supper.
1t is rumored that a strawberry \
festival will be the next affair.
