MANY FRIENDS WELCOMED AT BEAUTIFUL NEW HOME.

Almost a Hundred Respond to Chas. Moody’s Stag Invitation at Barkley Wall Street Residence. Wall street, in Barkley township, has a new residence, and to date it is the most palatial and modern farm residence in Barkley township,. Monday night about 100 friends responded to Mr. Moody’s invitation to attend a “stag” house warming, and about every automobile in Rensselaer was pressed into service to transport the guests to the Moody farm, which is about 12 miles in the country. At the home they met Mr. Moody’s neighbors and one of the most enjoyable stags ever held in the county took place. Nothing has been left undone to make life in the hew house a constant delight, and no city residence is more modern. A beautiful house, splendidly planned, admirably appointed, finely finished, with hot water heating plant, acetylene lights over the entire house, hard and soft water forced to all parts of the house by means of air pressure secured from wind mill’ making bathroom and toilet possible, and all these things are provided as they are in alb modern city residences. The carpenter was John Andrus, the heating and plumbing was done by E. D. Rhoades & Son and the decorating and Interior finishing by Tom and Frank Turner. The house is one of the most conveniently arranged in the county and Charley’s new Marlon Flyer makes it only about a half hour’s trip from Rensselaer. The guests included business and professional men, farmers-and preachers and-the evening was enjoyably spent. Attorney, E. P. Honan acted as toast master and in his mirth-making manner introduced several good stag tellers and the roof of the new house Was tested by the hilarity of the applause. Refreshments were served, and the boys all had the “time of their lives.” ’
