i zzs fv.o THE FRANKLIN PRESS Friday, January 1G, 1925. HOUSE rARIIM : m franklin W. L. Higdon Entertains Large Circle of Friends at His Home in East Main Street on Janury 9th. On the evening of January 9th a goodly number of Franklin's male population enjoyed the best and most remarkable dinner ever served in this town. The dinner was in the nature of a house warming at the magnifi cent new, residence of Mr. W. L. Hig don on East Main Street. While not a woman was seen by any of the guests yet it was evident that the magic hand of a coulinary expert of the female sex supervised the prepara tion of the food. No mere man could have . accomplished the results that were so bountifully evident. After partaking of, a ddicio3s grape fruit each guest was served with a plate of turkey, mashed potatoes, oyster dressing, macaroni and other things too numerous to mention. The twenty guests sat at the tables which were weighted down with other deli cacies of all kinds. .When the first plate of food arrived the guest looked and wondered. No. one for a moment ' considered that the heaping plate was intended for only one man. As other plates of like proportions were placed before the guests awe and astonishment were manifest. J. E. S. Hunnicutt guarded his plate with extreme care hoping that he would not have to divide with three i others. When it became evident that the phte was intended for him alone he fell to with mighty determination. Likewise did all the others. After a forty-five minute Marathon Tom i. i : r - j 1 i r:, 1 wigti pusneu DacK :ns piaie aim an nounced with a Vleep sigh, "Boys, I surrender." .During the meal the ItrrVite nnrn UrlrereA anA T.ncran AHpn was heard to say, "Let them go out. We can't fail to get a forkful of something good even in the dark." John Trotter won the Marathon in 58 minutes flat. Even at that he claimed to be unable to dent his help ing. Sam Rogers who has mitrh ex perience in eating formal dinners announced himself whipped after forty minutes of strenuous endeavor while Dr, Lyle remarked that Tom Johnston is the only man in town who could have batted 1000 at . the feast. The recent illness of Frank Williams prevented his entering the contest in a very earnest, manner. Supt. M. D. Billings complained of a cold but his herculean efforts to do justice tothe occasto F0 a iP.Ua Ji ins licdiiu was the least, slightly exaggerate. Mark Dowdle as usual on such oc casion clearly demonstrated that his digestive apparatus is in fine working order while Uncle John Harrison after pushing back his plate was heard to remark, "What a waste, what a waste." Uncle Bragg Higdon from Ellijay who thought he knew something of hospitality yielded the palm without reservation to Nephew Bill. Rev. A. J. Smith had no time for conversation and neither wasLee u-awiord s hearty laugn neara tor upwards of an hour. ' Jim Pjorter, while used to doing big things utterly failed at this particular time. The fast seen of George Dalrymple he was sitting on the back of his neck in an easy chair too full for utterance. Excepting only John Trotter, Bill Cunningham was- the outstanding hero of the night. Right Valiantly did he fight, but just as victory was within his grasp he lapsed into un consciousness. Some one put a pick led peach under Bill's nose and woke him up. . Dr. Rogers had just gotten into his stride and looked like a sure winner when a professional call took him for the table. Fred Higdon and Mr. E. M. Mount of Carnelia 'lowed as how they had to work the nex day and therefore ate only a suflic ent amount for four men. ; Major Harris who many times during his career had fought a good fight with a gallon pot of army baked beans could hardly believe his eyes. -For a moment he believed that some good fairy had waited him away into the land of visions and dreams. After partaking of gelatine and whipped cream, cake and coffee those who were able to get on their feet adjourned to the reception rooms where a box of cigars was handed around. Those who did not smoke took cigars away and were seen offer ing them to their friends on the street next day intimating that the Governor of New Jersey had sent them a box of cigars for a Christmas present. After being comfortably, seated in the King room there was consider able speech-making by those who were able to talk. During the ora tions several referred to corpses. There was-probable some psycologi cal reason for this. ) Some of the guests left a reason able hour while those who had. to walk waited to get their secont wind. All, however, either by sign or words indicated that they had never enjoy ed a more pleasant evening, Long live Bill Higdon! Cowee High School Com mencement Exercises.

The officers for 192S were installed by the pastor, Rev. W. M. Smith. The Bible lesson was drama tized by Mrs. Jesse loan, Mrs. R. L.

Social At Baptist Church Friday evening, January 9 the young people of the Berean Class Senior B. Y. P. U. entertained the young ladies of the Fidelis Class of the Baptist Church with a "Penny Party" , . In spite of the inclement weather a goodly number was present and the entire crowd, the moment they entered the room, forgot the rain and mud outside, and lost themselves in the good fellowship and fine and wholesome fun of the evening. Games were played in which any one who failed to obey the direction of the leader was compelled to pay a penny. However, the pennies did not come very plentifulsy, for every one played too wholeheartedly. Delicious refreshments were served the "lights winked',' and the "good night song" sung, but still the young folks lingered and it was well they did for within the next thirty minutes $76.43 was made and turned over to the Treasurer for church expenses. As; the young people reluctantly tore themselves away everyone declared it the most fun ever had at a church social and expresed a desire that occassions come more FARMERS DAY SAT JANUARY 24 The First Farmers Day to Be Held in Franklin A Good Program Has Been Arranged.
