Moose Had Very Enjoyable Social Time Thursday.

The Loyal Order of Moose report a very pleasing time last Thursday evening at their old time fiddler’s contest. The following contestants were present: Uncle Charley Pullins, Bill iiatt, sometimes known as John E. Alter, Joe Pullins, Mention Tudor, Billy Parks, Adrian Bicknell, Jonn Ferris and Jim Newcome. Uncle Charley Pullins was in true form and did some very fancy jig dancing and received the first prize, which was a hat contributed by the G. E. Murray Co. Uncle Charley is some kid yet. Adrien Bioknell received the second prize, .which was a box of cigars donated by Henry Nevill. Billy Parks received the third prize, which was a fine leather pocketbook donated by Abe Long. Jam Newcobe received the fourth prize, which was a box of cigars, donated by Adrien Bicknell. Bill Batt read one of his own very interesting selections entitled '‘Farming.” It was a gem. Joe Pullins and Mermon Tudor rendered the Mocking Bird with variations by Mermon Tudor so realistic that Johnnie Alter said he could see the feathers. , Jim Newcome did some plain and fancy whistling which was appreciated by all. Five jig dancers were also present and did some fine jig work. The Moose are now warned to look out for a fish roast.
