backbones, and of course all the
trimmings. In fact there was nothing
missing on the table but cheese and
smear case. Four kinds of cake were
on the table a flavor to suit any
sweet tooth Then when it came to
the pies, there was no remark that
pies were 'muSty" (muSt have an
other). So every one was we'll filled,
in fact some were too full.
For instance, the Bishop and
Charles Layman, remained at the
table and had another piece of
cake to finish off their coffee. Their
game by the way, was to eat at the
second table and chat with the
women folks, but the women folks
shOoed them out.
A token gift was rendered the
hostess, Marie, by Timothy Bates,
Charles Layman and Rev. Ted
Bates. All had good time and the
wishing the Duchess many more
happy birthdays.

83. The Duchess received many val
liable and nice gifts which made her
feel lust lovely. Helen Bates, wife
of Paul, was not feeling we'll enough
to come to the big dinner, but Paul
| brought words of we'll wishings for
Helen.
Infare Dinner
The infare dinner was held at the
home of Arzey Warner and wife,
Tavern, and the dinner was to cele-
brate the marriage of their son,
Francis an EXCL, to Fredia Hague
It would be useless to describe this
dinner as Tavern gets up those
kinds Of table spreads that no artist
could depict or dietitian could turn
down. You can take it from this cor
respondent that all were we'll fed
and on the best.
We are sorry we don't have the
list of those present. We are not
familiar with the plans of the groom
but he announced to this CORES.
pondent that he expected to remain
with his father for the present, al
least.
1t is understood that the bride anC
groom are making their home at the
brides parents, as her father, Tom
is unable to milk cows or huSk corn
due to a fall severing several liga
ments and nerve centers in his lef
hand and the right hand was al
ready in poor condition.
So Francis and Fredia will b.
busy between their two homes
helping their parents with thei
many farm duties and chores. w,
have been informed on good author
ity that there will be a wedding
shower for the two young people il
the very near future. The bride ant
groom are the kind of folks ont
would miss if they moved out of thu
neighborhood.
