LOG-ROLLING

A very interesting event of last week was an old-time log rolling at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Luther Carpenter of Calvin.

The crowd gathered early to begin work, the men rolling logs while the women
prepared a delicious dinner.

At twelve o'clock the men were called to dinner in the dining room, which
presented an appetizing scene. The dinner consisted of vegetables of several
kinds, salad, relishes, meats, desserts and coffee.

In the afternoon the men returned to finish rolling the logs. During this time
the women were having a social afternoon at the house.

About two thirty the work was completed and everybody adjourned to meet again
at Mr. and Mrs. Dan Carter's for an enjoyable corn popping.

Those attending the outing were: Mr. and Mrs. Dan Carter, Mr. and Mrs. Eddy
Howard and baby, Max, Mr. and Mrs. C.B. Carter, Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Bates,
Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Bates and children, Bernice and Charles, G.B. Carter,
Henry Bates, Vergie Carpenter, Carl Carter, Austin Carpenter, Creel Bates,
Sherman Carpenter, Purvis Griffin, Georgia Bates, William Carpenter, Pearl
Carter, Ellen Carter, Linnie Carpenter, Mr. and Mrs. Luther Carpenter and
Winona Carpenter.
