Society Events Quite the most important topic of the day is the Married Folk’s Mas querade Ball to be held at the Bun galow Auditorium on Friday, April Fool’s night. Long neglected cuta ways, Prince Alberts and frock coats are receiving an airing and an oc casional cussing at a too tight fit. Long forgotten wasp waists are re ceiving gusset extensions and much speculation is rife as to how long or how short skirts may be worn. Sev eral business houses are furnishing noses and whiskers grown to order. While the desire among the ladies is to look youthful and beautiful, this frivolity is evenly offset by the stern er sex to look as grotesque as the law allows. Here Is your golden oppor tunity to be what you most desire to be. The orders are, 'Mask all ye who enter here.' Mr. C. P. Adams who lives a half mile south of town was sitting com fortably In his borne Monday evening when some ‘music in the air' aroused him from his reverie. It was the boys of the school band who had come to celebrate with him the sixty first anniversary of his birth. The boys were given a hearty welcome by Mr. and Mrs. Adams and after a nub- ber of selections by the band. Ice cream, cake and lemonade made their appearance to which the boys did ample justice, as a bunch of boys know so well how to do. Mr. Adams la a musician of many years experi Rev. and Mrs. Ira D. Hall were guests of honor at a farewell recep tion held in the Baptist church Thursday evening. The evening was pleasantly spent over reminiscences of the past year and a half, and lay ing plans for the future and many expressions of appreciation of their pastor's kindly services in the com munity were heard. Delicious re freshments were served by a commit tee of ladles, after which the guests departed wishing Pastor Hall and his good wife many years in the sunset days in health and glad content af ter the long years of faithful service. Rev. and Mrs. Hall left for McMinn ville where they will make their home for the present. One of the jolliest parties of the reason was given at the home of Mrs. Rena Waterman on Saturday after- noon when Master Vernon and Miss Margaret entertained about thirty of their friends at a really truly Easter party. An ideal spring day kept the young people out of doors all afternoon where egg hunts, spoon races and cock fights’ were the order of the occasion. At five o’clock a luncheon was served at two gaily decorated tables, consisting of real bunny-eggs and all sorts of goodies Going home time came all too soon when the young guests departed with many expressions of appreciation for a royal good time to their little host and hostess. FRIDAY, APRIL 8, DATE SET FOR BIG SPRING CLEAN-UP IRRIGON NEWS ITEMS SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE Next Friday, April 8th is Clean- Up-Day. Are you ready? Clean-Up-Day this year Is going to be different from any clean-up we have ever had. and when the squads of workers get through the city la go ing to look like new. This is going to be a real earnest work, and all are coming prepared with overalls and working tools to make good. The good ladies of the Community club will have a nice hot lunch for the busy workers, and the stores will cnly have one man in each store. This is done for the benefit of any country customers who may not know that it is Clean-Up-Day, and it is necesary that they be taken care of in the stores.
