cordially welcomed into the hospita
ble home of Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs. An
hour or so was spent in delightful
social converse and then dinner was

wish you were two men and had evej
a bigger appetite than you have. Pos

all piled about him; backbone and
hog jowl, chicken fried and baked;
gravy brown and appetizing, pickels,
of all varieties; cranberries and trim
rnings galore; cakes and what not.s
for desert. It was a dinner fit for a
king according to Revs. Yarbrough,
Wood and Faust, who are experts in
