eujoyed by a few hundred people at
that taored place of worship.
Dinner was there in abundance
ana it was free to all, a goneral
onvitation being extended. Every
time you go to Liberty, when dinner
is to be served, you will get a square
meal of the best rations the county
supplies. Good people live in that
community and they love to havo
their friends go among them.
