EGMONDVILLE
On Thursday last around 75 neigh-
bors and friends of Mrs. Frank Ken-
nedy gathered at the Jackson home
to honour Mrs. Kennedy prior to her
departure to Wiarton. The evening
was spent playing court whist. Mrs.
A. Routledge won high score and
Mrs. Ken Coombs low. Mrs, Kennedy
was then asked to come forward,
she was presented with a chest of
silver and. a tri -light lamp. An ad-
dress as fellows was composed and
read by Mrs. Paul Doig.
When the word was passed around
The Kennedys were leaving;
Every kid in town looked glum,
And then they fell to greiving.
The Little Boyces said Boo Hoo!
The Finnigan children howled,
Ann McLean refused to eat,
The bull dog sat and growled.
The grown-ups were filled with gloom,
The sporting fans as bad;
"The baseball team will fall part",
The outlook sure was sad.
Then the village took a brace,
They said "We'll throw a party;
With 'Betty here to lead the way
And make things bright and hearty.
With George and Tom to give the
room
And Belle to help to run it;
'Twas bound to be a huge success—
Now aren't you glad we done it?
The next thing was "What shall we
give?"
We racked our brains for ages;
A problem that has often.stumped
Philosophers and Sages.
At last we came up with this lamp
To light your livingroom;
It cheered us to give something
bright
To break the village gloom.
Now, not a word; We're not through
yet,
A trifle's still to come;
Until we say the word you must
Keep absolutely mum,
Frank will use the lamp to read
Of sport events just pending;
And you? Perhaps you'll use it most
To do a spot of mending.
But this? Ah. this is just for you,
(Your brain must now be reeling)
From ail your friends in Egmondville
With love, and friendly feeling.
