Friday Night
The editor nut on bla over
coat and slipped off Friday
night for to have a good time,
which by the way hud been
guaranteed bv the promoter of
the scheme. The atmosphere
was dry and hard and cold. The
vind warped around the corners
vith such a "whew" as to re
mud fo th fancied ghosts and
iobliiiS of yule tide.
Two tickets to Grover aid 41
n tli9 yard told us that thi
time was up. In a jiffy Prof. C.
P, Gurd-ier and the scribe were,
eated on the red plush and
sizzing acioss the country. In
twentv minutes Urover wa
.nnounced and a double-quick
march order fas executed until
the hungry pair had reached
lie cozy home of Mr. and Alia
Jim Hardin just beyond tit
Baptist church. After the time
of day had been passed and the
i.xious travelers had been

lining room by our host
where wife and daughter wer
presented and the fept enjoy

greeted his. editorial ivory or
assuaged his morbid appetite.
We were having a gcoi time.
As soon as supper was over wt
made a dive for the ' Baptlbt
Church where Prof. Gardner has
the largest music class we have
ever st en or heard of the. niim
ber of whiiih sounds almost
fablous for a small town.. 152 is
is the record attendance. But
not that many were present Fri
day night when we reached the
firing line. As stated before the
weather was severe, the .frost
lice was lurking around the
door, but in the very face of the
weather about a hundred anx
ious learners were awaiting us
(or him) with a heater red hot
in the midst. They were there
from ttie cradle to the grave ana
everybody sang. Even to the
