Various kinds of games were in dulged in and refreshments were ser ved. - The following guests were present: Misses Alma Hayman, Eunice Hay manf Cora Chaplin, Inez Chaplin.Dei cie Fearing, Mittie Fearing, Lillian Hooper, Evelyn Hooper, Annabelle Abbot, Milicent Hayman, Sadie Mae Wood, Mildred Hayman, Margaret Jordan, and Helen Hayman; Mas ters Mercer H. Bailey of New Bern; Spencer Chaplin, Carrol Abbot, Til ton Hayman, Eldridge Hughes Alton Hayman, Sidney Davis. Master Richardson was the recip ient of a number of pretty birthday presents' in the deal. In examining the con tents he found an old worn jewelry case and in the case there was a gold medal of huge proportions. The medal is of of strange device and one is able to inform Mr. Jennings of its value. Its actual value la gold is considerable, so much so that the investment was a lucky one. Mr. Jennings will place the medal or coin in the hands of aa expert to determine its vsRjte. Mr Krueer the lata owner of it was a foreigner and avery eccentric old gentleman. No doubt this med al has a very interesting history and may be of greater value than would think at first sight. ome A BOX SUPPER . fl lucuuvu m win w nretju . wyers ad in this Issue of the Tai-ipel.
