Show South Tract Review Taking the South Tract all over, there never has been so much wheat raised as there has been this year especially hay, and everything is a rousing good price. The ladies of the H. E. A., in celebration of the first anniversary anniver-sary of their club, held a banquet ban-quet at the school house. The only ones invited outside of the membership were the husbands of the ladies. Place cards directed di-rected each couple to their proper prop-er location. After all had reached reach-ed their places, and before sitting sit-ting down, they all sang America Amer-ica with rousing good cheer, with Mrs. Parks at the organ. After taking our seats we were immediately waited on to the first course which consisted of fresh fruit served on plates. Then the only imposition of the evening began, which continued throughout the serving of the four courses, and that was the calling on the men to reply to toasts by the president. The second course was roast pork, pressed chicken, potato salad, sliced tomatoes with dressing, pickles and olives, butter and rolls and ice tea. The third course consisted of ice cream and cake, and the last course warmed us up with coll'ee and wafers- The table was decorated decor-ated with center pieces and beautiful boquets of sweet peas and pansies. After working all summer in mud and water, hot sunshine and dust, in the hay and harvest field, also the thresh ing, then to be treated to such a magnificient spread, which was in every way a complete and striking success, was almost more than Hesh and blood could stand and a great shock to the capacity and nervous system of we poor hungry men. Mrs. Chas. Hardin will accompany accom-pany her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nelson, to their home in Engle-wood, Engle-wood, Cali., starting today. They will go overland by auto. They have had a good visit with the Hardins and their two sons, Lawrence and Lowell for two- and a half months. Mrs. W. H. Evans will leave on the 18th inst. to visit Will's parents in Cali., and will go from there to Galveston, Texas, for a protracted visit with her own parents. No happier thought for centralizing cen-tralizing public interests could be suggesttd than that suggested suggest-ed by the Chronicle editor in last weeks issue in regard to a park. We opine that Messrs W. H. Evans and Chas. Hardin will be inmates of the mad house if their wives extend their visits over any great length of time. |
