On August 9th, at the home of Mrs. And Mrs. Clem Clark, near Cypress church, a very happy re-union of relatives and friends occurred. Those present were, Mr. And Mrs. Frances Clark, Victor Clark and wife, and Mrs. Anna Menzies and daughter, all of Paragould, Ark; S.B. Clark, H.P. Clark, wife and son, G.H. Clark, wife and daughter, Mrs. J.N. Clark and son, Vestal Watkins and family, Mrs. M.E. Gibbons and son, Mrs. Jennie Skipper, Mrs. Candis Crossnoe, and F.M. Goldsmith and wife. At the noon hour a bountiful dinner was served, which was highly enjoyed, and all were lavish in their praise of Clem's good wife for providing such a feast. The afternoon was delightfully spent in singing and merry conversation. All reported a great and glorious time.
