On Friday night, November tant business was that the clubjHiram )t was made the
_ occasion of a wedding anniver-
! sary dinner at their home about
i two miles south of Alvin.
The table, in addition co being
j loaded to its capacity with the
j choicest viens, was decorated
with many flowers and a large
figure eight in white chrisanthe-
mums with green fern Lack-
| ground.
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Wright,
who were married on the 10th
instant, were the guests of
honor. About fiften guests were
present and had a most enjoy-
able time. Miss Wilda Shane,
who was one of the guests, made
some splendid group photo-
praphs. It was a pleasant oc-
casion for all present.

shown fulfill expectations This
section has long enjoyed the
reputation of raising fine poultry
and this exhibition proves that
it will still be maintained.
The produce exibit is wonder-
ful and is a revelation to many
home people. There is corn,
cotton, forage stuffs, and vege-
tables galore. The Algoa sec-
tion shows 150 varieties of pro-
ducts all home grown and man-
ufactured by the Algoa farmers.
The visitors looking upo.i these
exhibits cannot help from being
impressed by what they sec, and
when they remember that the
development of the country is
but yet in its infancy, they
can appreciate it future possibil-
ities. Of one thing they are as-
sured, that all they see are home
grown products, nothing what-
ever having been borrowed for
the occasion.
The live stock show held at
the Japanese Nursery shed was
attractive to many visitors. The
beautiful exhibit tells in no un-
certain way that just as fine
stock can be raised here as any
where in rhe United States.
It is impossible to say all the
occasion deserves, as the paper
comes out before it is ended. We
will reserve for next week a
further account, when we hope to
be able to particularize and men-
tion the awards of premiums.
