A Barbecue

A most delightful barbecue was given Wednesday, September 17, on the grove of Mr. S.M. Phelps, near Louisburg, in honor of his returned sons who went to answer their country’s call in the great world war.

The many friends and relatives gathered about 10:30 o’clock in the morning. Sociable talks between the friends were enjoyed very much. The many little children were entertained by “grandfather” Phelps, as he is known and loved by all children. He is the aged father of Mr. S.M. Phelps. After all the enjoyment of the morning the dinner bell rang for dinner. Everyone gathered around the nicely prepared dinner. The table was full of delicious food of all kinds, everything one’s appetite called for. 

After dinner everyone enjoyed the beautiful music rendered by Miss Sallie Louise Macon, while Mrs. Peter Foster, Miss Blanche Collins, and others sang. After which the guests attended the afternoon service of Corinth Baptist Church. The service began at 2:30 o’clock, everyone who attended enjoyed the sermon very much.
