Basket Dinner.
Mrs. Ester Martin was honor guest of a basket dinner at her home near Centenary Church last Sunday when Sunday School and church members took well filled baskets and arrived at noon, which was not a surprise, but all wanted to be with her for the day. Her age has kept her at home for some time. She is the oldest member of Centenary church. She will be 75 years old the 26th day of December. Everyone enjoyed the day and Mrs. Martin said it reminded her of several years ago when she was young.

Trotter of Skidmore; Mr. and Mrs. Schoonover and Earl Schoonover, Leona and Mabel Schoonover of Barnard; Mr. and Mrs. Sam McGinness; Hazel, Edna, Lucile, Pauline and Georgia Ruth McGinness; Mr. and Mrs. Roy Slauson and Bessie Lee; Mr. and Mrs. Martin Hartman; Addison and Estella Jane Hartman; Mrs. Chas.
