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. After services were over
some went to their homes, while others went back to the home of Mr. Phelps.
Later in the afternoon everyone departed to their homes rejoicing over the
pleasant and happy day they had spent with many friends and relatives, some
remarked that the (words obscured) come to the end of a perfect day.
