AVERY’S MR. BILL

Nr. Bill Strong Points
fWf HE SIMPLE FACT that MR. BILL does better work
than any other planter and that it is strong, durable and
* light draft is not the only reason for its wide spread pop
ularity. MR. BILL has some distinctive features that appeal
particularly to the farmer, features that tower far above any
mark imitators have yet been able to approach.
The main opener, sub opener and covering standard are raised
and lowered by one lever, after standards are raised a certain
height, a patented device automatically throws the hopper out
of gear; in this way one movement of the one lever accomp
lishes more than can be done with the two or three levers on
other planters. MR. BILL is the original and only one lever
planter. It does the work and does it right.
Beware of Imitations!
SOCIETY NOTES
DANCE FOR MISS LEBO.
A most brilliant post-Easter event
was the dance given Monday by Mr.
and Mrs. R. J. Bressler in honor of
their sister, Miss Carrie Lebo. Prompt
ly at 8 o’clock on the appointed even
ing the guests began to appear at the
Bressler cottage, each lady bringing
with her an Easter hat of her own
design and make. These hats were
put on display, the gentlemen provid
ed with bags containing twenty-five
candy eggs each, and the sale began,
the men exchanging eggs for hats.
After the sale was effected, followed
by an auction of a few “left overs,”
the entire party went to the gymna
sium and the dance was on.
Miss Lebo, gowned in blue char-
meuse and carrying an arm bouquet of
roses and carnations, favored Mr. S.
A. McMillan as her partner, and to
gether they led a very graceful prom
enade. The twelfth dance was marked
on all programs “Hat Rush,” and when
it arrived the hats were placed along
one side of the wall, and a veritable
rush for them by the gentlemen en
sued. Following this fray, partners
were secured for the refreshment
dance, and the gay dancers paused
long enough to do full justice to the
delicious pineapple cream and angel
food cake. The strains of “Home,
Sweet Home,” were heard all too soon,
and there were many regretful sighs
that the happy evening had ended, but
the cordiality and charms of host,
hostess, and honoree will never be for
gotten.
The guests were Messrs, and
Mesdames Wooten, Silars, Tatum,
Potts, Bagley, Fermier, Ridgway,
Felker, Paddock, Evans, Canfield, Tem
pleton, Youngblood, Jones, Misses
O’Neil, Bump, Walker, Ogles, Davis,
Milner, Mrs. Carter; and Messrs.
Thomas, Bond, Powell, Click, Thorn
ton, Gofer, H. L. Thomas, McMillan,
Tutler McMillan, and Carpenter.
MRS. YOUNGBLOOD ENTERTAINS.
On Friday afternoon, March 21, Mrs.
Bonnie Youngblood was hostess to a
most enjoyable card party, in honor
of her house guest, Mrs. Carter. The
rooms, always full of home-like charm,
were even more attractive than usual
in their festive array, for Easter lilies,
ferns, and falins filled every nook and
alcove with sweetness <\nd beauty. On
each table was a tiny Easter basket
bearing the number of the table,
while in it was a downy chicken. After
a series of six-hand euchre games, the
prizes were awarded, Mrs. O. M. Ball
receiving the first prize, a delicate
lace collar with ivory sticks, a charm
ing Easter souvenir; while the booby,
a basket of Easter eggs, went to Mrs.
Charles Felker. Cut glass receptacles
on each table held white mints during
the progress of the game, and at the
close of the afternoon there were
passed dainty plates containing cream
and the lightest of angel food, iis
whiteness carrying out the color idea
of this pleasant springtime event.
A WONDERFUL GUN.
Fish Clarke, H. S. (to Professor
McPheeters)—Say, professor, if I had
a two-pound gun that shoots a half-
pound bullet twenty-two thousand feet
a second, how far would it go?
Anderson, B. W.—Say, “Dutch,” that
ram list would not be anything if my
name did not head the list.
Zincke, A. G.—That is nothing, mine
always brings up the rear.
Old Boy (to Fish)—Someone told
me you were seen with a girl in Bryan
the other day. Is that so?
Fish—If a Fish said that he lied; if
an old boy said it, he’s mistaken.
JUNIOR DANCE.
In spite of all that has been going
on to break up this “wonderful institu
tion,” the Junior Class, dismantled as
it is, celebrated their second dance of
the session out at the fashionable
dancing pavilion of the Athletic Asso
ciation.
The couples were somewhat limited,
but nevertheless enjoyment was in
the air because Charley was in a con
dition to play unusually well.
However, it was feared at one time
that it would be broken up by the
dancers ceasing their merry whirling
to watch the “Bear Cat Rag” that was
taking place outside the sidelines.
This dance was indeed original and
taking, and seemd a large amount of
fun to the participants; but those on
the floor could not give up their part
of the fun by stopping to watch.
Beasley led the affair, while Stacks
took care of the finances. Simpson,
thanks to him, had the floor clean and
in excellent condition, in that way
eliminating the disagreeable custom of
sweeping in the middle of the dance.
As a whole, it was a great success
and here is hoping that they have an
other before June arrives.
