A delightful affair was held on the J. L. Patterson farm, one mile east of
Celeste on last Thursday night. A number of opossum had been caught and
fattened. Frank White, local black man, was secured as chef, and under the
supervision of E. T. Brady, Leon Puckett, and Lem Patterson, the kettles and
posts were set in order. About six o’clock, the following invited guests
appeared: Mr. and Mrs. John Buster, Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Brady, Mr. and Mrs.
Albert Norris, Annie Katherine Norris, Felix Norris, Mr. and Mrs. Felix Roach,
Mrs. G. B. Norris, Mr. and Mrs. Garland Roach, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Patterson,
Mr. and Mrs. Leon Puckett, Mary Helen Puckett, J. L. Patterson, Marie
Patterson, Mr. and Mrs. Aubrey Brown, W. B. Taylor, Dan Barnard, and Sam
Norman.

The table was groaning under the weight of four big opossum, browned sweet
potatoes, and dressing, thirty pounds of fried fish, pickles, lemons, bread,
and black coffee. All persons reported a grand time.
