Chicken" dinner by the Kings
Daughters of Bethesda Baptist
Church. On Wednesday, Septem-
Der Is, the day of the dinner, the
home of Mrs. Rhoda Renfroe on

cause he was cooked, and most ap-
petizingly cooked, and those who
enjoyed this and other items of the
very delightful repast were forced
to dumbness or pay a fine for
speaking.
It was lots of fun for the men

were kept quiet and they (the men)
could enjoy their dinner in peace.

from the satisfied diners.
