Rebekahs Had Fine Time at Dime Social Friday Night.

Rebekahs and their husbands and Odd Fellows relations to the number of about one hundred and forty, participated in a dime social given in the hall Friday evening and all report a fine time. L. H. Hamilton made an address that was splendidly received and that inaugurated the events of the evening in a very happy manner. Refreshments consisting of beef loaf, bread and butter sandwiches, pickles and coffee were served. Merritt’s orchestra played during the evening. A stuffed goat hide occupied the center of the stage and gave a doleful forecast of what might happen when you are being made a Rebekah. Dates stuffed with cotton and chocolates with onion flavor were some of the April fool jokes that helped to entertain the large crowd.
