Baraca Supper.
The Baraca class of the Baptist
church held a delightful meeting in
the church dining room on Friday
evening. There are on? hundred and
thirty members of this class under j
the leadership, as president, of Mr. ,
W. A. Strom. Dr. R. G. Lee is teach- j
er. It seemed that every member was ?
present and each one had a friend, <
so that the banquet table was sur- ?
rounded by men and women, boys ?
and girls, a very congenial and merry
company. Oysters were served in
every style, raw, stewed and fried,
and in the most bountiful manner.
When the women gain the ballot, one
right they will demand, is that they 1
keep the keys to the pantry, other- j
wise there will soon be nothing left
in the larder if this serving is a
sample of the generous impulses of
the men. It is very pleasant, however,
occasionally, to sit down to an oyster
supper, where there is no restriction
of quantity. Oysterettes, sandwiches,
with most lavish slices of ham, pic
kles, coffee and cream and most as
tonishing of all, a bountiful supply
of that rare commodity, sugar. The
women could scarcely believe their
eyes.
The oysters were prepared by Mr.
Edmunds and the serving was most
charmingly done 'by the men of the
Baraca class. It was very becoming
to them too, as every one was remark
ing how good looking they were.
At the close of the supper, Mr. W.
A. Strom, as toast master, called up
on an indefinite number of members
of the class to talk, limiting them to
one minute. This part of the program
was no less interesting than the -
other. , i<t??i,?.i ~~
Beautiful music was interspersed,
Miss R?sela Parker and Mrs. Rives
giving violin solos and duets, the Ba
raca quartette, composed of Messrs.
Madison T?cker, Claude Lyon Steph
en Scurry and Lou Prescott, and a
vocal solo hy Mrs. Carwile. Miss
Ruth Lyon was accompanist and is
the valued pianist for the class.
Dr. Lee is largely instrumental in
the wonderful growth of the class.
They have recently bought a piano,
and are organizing at present an or
chestra for which instruments have
already been purchased.
Altogether this was a delightful
occasion.
