PiU Bo 1 at Pretty Lake. Every one, staid old matrons, jolly old men, young and old among the campers at Fretty lake participated in a general smacking of the lips" Sunday, when two beautifully roasted pigs arrived in camp. Their arrival was not a surprise and all were in readiness to receive them. A long table had been arranged under tl e trees on the lot belonging to E. C. Martindale and the ladies had brought out their "rare old china' and fixed places to accomodate 66 people. The rarety of the vegetables was not so great as their iiiantity, so the pigs were not forgotten in their enjoyment of other things. The feast, for feast it was, consisted of pig, roast pig, and its llavor was heightened only by the excellent grape catsup which was a specimen of Mrs. Oliver Soice's excellent receipt. Then there was apple sauce, cold slaw, sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, potato salid, celery, pickles, jelly, and as one uyoung" man expressed it "the most bumptious pumpkin pie," cake, olives and lemonade which showed the aptness of Messrs Hogarth, Kuhn, Chas. and Theo. McLaughlin using the spade in "lemonade stirred up in the shade with a rusty spade." The most delicious cotliee with genuine cream, that is Mr. Everly said it was cream and we thought it had an unfamiliar taste, if milk. Mr. E. E. Stan8bury created merriment amcng the children by bringing a Hour sack filled with popVirn. While they were showing theinappreciation of it their elders had prepa ed the tables and Mr. Fred Kuhn, after washing his hands in the lemonade, gave them a few "pointers" on how to carve a pig. And don't he know how it is done? It was some time after all were seated at the table before they arose and many were the "groans uttered after" those pigs. After Um dishes were assorted Mr. Kuhn took a picture of the older people but on account of the appearance of a big cloud and a general "scattering to places of dryness" was prevented from taking the children's picture. Those present were; Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Astley, Stella, Jesse, Chas. and Geo. Astley and their guests, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse lloham, Miss (irace Darr, of Coshen, Hay Shanahan, of South Bend, Mr. and Mrs. Deeds and daughter Leonore, Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Burkett, Clifford and Cecil Kurkett.Mr.and Mrs. Theo.
