"Friday
night we had a Bond Drive at the school house.
Daddy, being the twp. [township] trustee was in charge of the
affair. The Prairie State Bank force all
came out. We expected a very large
turnout but a rain came up about seven o'clock and sort of put a damper on
things. People kept straggling in until 10:00 P.M. but at that there were only
about sixty present for the occasion.
Mr. Jackson auctioned pies and cakes and Betty King's pie was sold for a
$10,000 bond. Mr. Spencer of the Spencer
Trailer Co. in Augusta bought it so I suppose it will be credited to Augusta
twp.
"We
also took ice cream and served ice-cream cones, cake and pie to all
present."
