REV. W. T. HUNDLEY "IN
ITIATES" HIS DEACONS.
On the evening of the 8th inst
your humble servant had the pleasure
of being present at a "Fruit
Supper" and "Smoker" given by
Rev. W. T. Hundley to his deacons
it the home of Mrs. Fannie B. Hartley.
Bro. Hundley had iust returned
from Florida and brought with him
\ variety of rare and delicious fruits
ind cigars. His heart was beating
lorm.di for it was just like him to
nvite an unworthy set to enjoy the
*ood things with him. Our pastor
Iocs not believe in half way dcings
ind being a man of extraordinary
aste and culture we were nccessarly
initiated in some respects on this
occasion.
Everything was most tastefully
ind elecnnt-K* iTrinnn.l 1?;?
uuuii(;v.w am.1 ' UClIlg
something to eat ? delighted the
;rude spirits of all visitors present.
Bro. Hundley is a wise man. His
leart and mind are filled with an
ntense desire to elevate the worldly
astes of his people and he has
r.ade a good start in the right diection?down
his deacons throats.
Grape fruit, pineapple, oranges.
:ake anil ten cents cigars will bring
them out when nothing else will. My
own taste for grape fruit was so
much cultivated that 1 went down
town a day or two afterwards and
bought three but before I could get
out of town Ira Carson who was ah
so at the feast made me divide
with him?"Between me and you
and the gate post"?if I was Bro
Hundley I would not waste much
time on l)r. Ridged for I see he is
smoking"01d Va. Cheroots" right on
He'll never break him and if he die
he would spoil a good fainter foi
he makes two hales of otto a tc
the acre and six ears ot corn to tht
stalk In farming like politics he is

Will Cooncrand Bro. II. T. Wright
being men of business and accustomed
to chewing lead pencils fell tc
eating grape fruit as though i1
were an every day occurrence.
As sure as I live I mean to buy
