A ’Possum Supper. I
One of the most enjoyable oc
casions it has been anyone’s rare
good fortune to attend was the six
o’clock “ ’Possum Supper” at which
Mr. G. W. Burnett entertained a
number of his friends Friday, Dec.
16th in honor of his 36th birthday.
Covers were laid for twelve in
the dining room—the long table
with its cut-glass and silver and
the huge stand of choice fruits
making a charming picture under
the soft glow of the lights.
The host had made one stipula
tion when extending the invitations
that was that each one accepting
the invitation must be a "possum
lover." So of course the “center of
attraction” when supper was an-
nouncod were the five big possums.
Piping hot and browned to a turn
surrounded by the juicy sweet po
tatoes and resting upon five platters
they were indeed a feast for the
eye as well as the inner man, and
bore eloquent evidence to Mr.
Burnett’s skill as hunter and host.
The supper which was elegantly
prepared was served in three
courses; the menu consisting of;
Possum Potatoes Gravy
Baked Apple3 Celery
Hot Biscuit Coffee
Nut Salad Crackers
Pickles Pepper Sanwiches
Gelatine Whipped Cream
Cake

After supper around the cheery
fireside with a box of choice cigars
merry jests and stories made the
wee’ sma’ hours approach all too
quickly and the guests departed
each one wishing Mr. Burnett many
happy birthdays and (softly please)
many more “Possum Suppers” at
which each one present upon the
evening of the 16th may again be
invited guests.
As each bright picture has its
dark side, so with this and "justice
demands that I chronicle the lament

Yo’ ax me what I’se weepin’ fer
Hush honey! go on way

Thisis the time when the pinch of poverty is 'felt as at no
other time of the year. You should not envy those with money
in the Bank for you can have a bank account if you will only
save. There is a time coining in every life as this season comes
every year when you will have joy in your life if you have saved,
and sorrow if you have not.

A Card Of Pride
1 am proud the way the ‘Smiles
of our City received my hook
‘Smiles’ Up to date nearly four
hundred copies have been sold and
a gradual sale from now till the
25th will exhaust what is on sale
at the stores.
Out of the 82 grouches only two
bought a copy, 17 of the deep lung
ed laughers bought at first sight,
the 18th wanted to take it home to
see if his wife would buy it, then
laughed and ‘bot.’ Nearly all of the
the 342 men who can smile when
all is wrong bought and only one
wanted his money back because we
failed to mention his name. One
wanted to know if all that really
happened, as he had been out of
town, and our boy said ‘course,’ he
bought two. Only two Smiles were
stolen, but the names are known
and will be published in the 1911
Smile unless they are returned.
Walter Sturdivant traded us ‘He!!
Number’ of life for one, Ernie Adam
son the ‘Goody-goody Number’ of
of same magazine and J D Sewell
wanted to give us a peck of apples
We told J D that we wasn.t a coun
try editor but in this case would
accept apples f. o. b. printing office,
