span, as usual. Ten of the White

the day very pleasantly making a
“Sun-bonnet Sue” bedspread for

unique invitation was composed in
rhyme by one of the members. It
told each to bring half a dime, a
piece of print for the “Sun-bonnet

as busily as pleasantly spent the
spread was almost completed, the
sumptuous dinner was spread on
the large table that fairly groaned
with its load of good eats of many
kinds, quite enough to have fed the
crowd three-times. This was sup
plied by the White Town Club. In
the afternoon we had a fine treat
from some colored friends who
sang for us several spirituals and
hymns. They showed wonderful
talent and training, carried sever
al parts, 6ang some of the club
songs. God gave these people a
wonderful natural talent for which
they should be thankful. Mrs. Till
man White presented the party” of
guests with winter cabbage seed.
