The table cloth that had not been on a table in 10 years was spread on the dining room table, beautiful bouquets of flowers were seen to adorn the home in many places. A $40.00 kettle, seldom used at all, was filled and cooked of squirrel and placed in the center, with ice cream, cake, watermelon and other good things to as is necessary to make the trimmings. The affair was arranged on such a short notice that it was impossible to make many invitations, so just a few were present to enjoy the affair. Those present were George W. Raybourn and George Raybourn, III, C.A. Raybourn, H. Watt Hillman, A. J. Counts, A. Sloan, Mrs. J. D. Sewell, Miss Bertha L. King, Mrs. C. F. Roberts and Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Stamper."
