Lloyd Hendren, o4f Hunting

4ren, and a brother of Lawyer
Frank B. Hendren. He was
about 30 years old. He married
the daughter of the late Slater
Bell some ten years ago, and
his wife and six children sur
vive him. air. Hendren vvas a
quiet, honest and honorable
gentleman, and a useful and
substantial citizen. Kind and

he was true to his friends and
charitable to hiUexiemies. A
Spader Web Party.
A "spider web party was"
given at Rev. Milton McNeill',3'
last Friday night, in honor of
the Misses Johnson, of Raleigh.
It was rather unique and was
enjoyed iy 40 or 50 young peo-.
pie of the wilkesboros. You
ask what is a spider-web party?
well, it's a party where every
body has a fine time and eats
ice cream and cake, and sings
and talks love if he can get
anybody to listen to hijcn. It's
a place whore there are lots of
strings thousands o yards
and each string has two ends
with a tooth brush tied to each
end. The strings "miamber
ate" in every direction, through
the house, arouud the porches,
among trees and fences, down
wells and up ladders, ad libi
tnm, and elsewhere. A boy.
gets at one end and a girl at
the other. They wind up the
thread till they come together
and then they have a right to
go a ad eat ice cream and cake
together. Of course ho one
knows who is at the other end
of the line.
But, in the lan
guage of one of North Caroli
na's distinguished sons, 'tem
pus is fugiting," and we have
time only to say that it was de
lightful to be there.
