A large and happy crowd of men, women and children gathered around tables and in groups on “No Man’s Land,” in Ahoskie last Friday evening; and helped to make the lawn party, sponsored by the Mothers Club, an enjoyable community affair. Many of the town’s singers formed a party that delighted the crowds with singing popular ballads and old time sons. Two cakes were auctioned off by lawyer Billy rogers; and much of the cream and cake was sold. In fact the ice cream gave out before the demand had been supplied. The proceeds from the sale of cream, and the two cakes will be used by the Mothers Club to help defray the expense of supplying the town with the garbage cans.
The happy party was brought to a sad close, when one of the automobiles leaving the party ran over a pet dog and ended his days on earth.
