In the Grand Army hall the show of vcget-
ables, grain and fruit was most surprising
for fine quality. The display of bread,
cake and preserved fruits was very large,
and we never saw better quality. The
display of fancy articles surprised every
one, and many said that it was nothing be
hind the show at Winfield and Wichita. 1t
is the intention of the management to be-
come incorporated and establish q perma
nent fair. We believe that township and
district fairs can be made more useful than
those embracing larger territory.
The boom seems to have struck Udall.
Between thirty and forty lots have been
sold the past ten days, and nearly all to
strangers who are here to stay. G.

A PLEASANT GATHERING.

From the Columbia City Commercial,
! AS slight token Of esteem few of the
intimate friends of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Will
liams concluded to perpetratc a pleasant
! little surprise upon them before they de-
parted for their new home i'll Wichita, kas.
Accordingly it was announced 'along the
line" that reception would be given them
at the parlors of the Mcdonald house. on
Saturday evening. In order to perfect all
arrangements without creating a suspicion
that something was brewing, GIr. and Mrs
Williams, with number Of others, were
invited to drink tea with MIR. and Mrs c.
T. Hollis While thus engaged those ''let

seated upon his handsome clarence coach,
drove up to the residence of MI Hollis and
announced to Mr. and Mrs Williams that
some friends awaited them at the hotel
They at once excused themselves to Mir
and Mrs. Hollis and taking seats in the
coach were soon safely landed at the hotel
and were at once escorted to the parlors,
which were crowded with their friends.
They were given seats upon the sofa, when
DIR. N. |. klthcart, who had been selected
as spokesman, stepped forward and for
mally presented them a magnificent sill
yer set.
When the doctor had finished talking
glistening tear drops could be seen trick
ling down the cheeks of many Of those
present. Overcome as they were Mr. and
Mrs. Williams each responded with appro-
pirate remarks and feelingly thanked their
friends for this unexpected manifestation
Of high esteem. Of the many excellent
people who have removed from our midst
since we cast our lot with the people Of
Columbia City dozen and Il half years
