Bin Dinner st Shields' Commissary. Mr. Frank P. Shields gave a party of his relatives and friends a big dinner at the home of his brother, MrChas. J. Shields, near Shields' Commissary, about five miles from town, some days ago. Quite a num ber of people from town went down in buggies and automobiles, and spent a most enjoyable day as the guests of Mr. Shields and his brother. After dinner, which consisted of fine barbecue and brunswick stew, the party was shown over the large farms, which are said to be the finest in Halifax county, and Mr. Shields has the distinction of being perhaps the largest farmer anywhere in this part of the State. The dinjier was under the super vision of that prince of good fellows and splendid cook, "Uncle Billy" Whitmore, and it is the general ver dict that it was prepared after the most approved style, because "Uncle Biily" is at his natural calling around a big pot of "stew."
