Your correspondent having consider
able business on hand you must excuse
me from reporting the news to you ev-
cry week. Since my last communica-
tion there has been quite considerable
news and gossip it had given it atten-
tion, but will only report part. Last
week Wednesday delegation Of 40 of
us visited the city of Huron. They
held there the 66 (years) anniversary of
Odd Fellowship. The Woonsocket
band of Is pieces accompanied the Odd
Fellows delegation, arriving at Huron
at 1917 a: m., was met by the Huron
band and delegation of Odd Fellows,
We're furnished Quarters and had a
grand good time. The parade took
place at 2 o'clock, p. M, and am glad to
report that the Woonsocket band and
the Odd Fellows delegation was second
to none present, while the Huron pa
pers say the Woonsocket band was the
best band that ever visited the city of
Huron. Dan Camp and Mills say there
were two good looking girls in Huron
and they made mash on them. The
Huron boys say that Harry Tinker, our
tuber blower, was from Mitchell, and
Dan Camp from Philadelphia, only
Jack Briggs and the bass drummer
were from different parts of the coun-
try. We venture to say that the boys
belong to Woonsocket; they all live
here and are in business.
Last Thursday evening the Presby-
terian church gavea historical tea par
ty and was a success in every particu-
lar. Proceeds netted $40.
The Woonsocket band dance came
off as announced, and it too was a suc-
cess in every particular. Music good,
