come / to the old home in several
years. Some of her close relatives

years.
The guests began to arrive a-bou^
eleven o’clock. The dense shade of
the lone oak. the cheerful looking
flowers around the porch, the hap-
ny smiling faces of relatives and
friends, the lingering greetings, all
gave evidence of pleasant day:
chatting and joking took Up most
of the morning. There was a long
table under the shade of the oak
that fairly groaned with its load of
delicioul foods. The barbecued
meats and delicious hash, cakes,
pickles, pies, salad and refreshing
tea was served graciously by Mr. J.
A. Self and his right hand man.
Bee. Mr. Self is known far and
near for his kindness to every one.
He has been our faithful R.TF’. D.
carrier for many years. Mrs. Self
is by her husband’s side in hospi
tality. When onefc entertained in
this home one wishes to go again.
Mrs. Jenkins, who is very jolly,
kept the guests joking and laugh
ing. Mrs. T. D. Miner, in her sweet
unselfish way, said although she
was not able to be with her loved
ones, she was happy to know that
they could all be together for the
day. Many* called to see her. A day
like this is always short, but long
remembered.
Mrs. Jenkins' and her daughter
left Monday morning for their
’■some in Savannah, Ga.

laughters, Miss Katheryn Self and
