The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1893-08-31

y
ton cards and light amusements were
brought in, and later still some very
fine refreshments,as palatable as could
have been made, were served. When
the party broke up it was with the
wish for continual path of roses for
Mr.. and Mrs. Aune, who will, inside
of few weeks, take a permanent res
idence in their new Queen Anne style
residence on Broadway.
GOLDEN ROD SOCIAL,
Orchard Gables always looks beau
tiful, but it never looked as pretty
as last Friday evening, when, by the
hands of Mr.. and Mrs. Robinson, and
the ladies of the Methodist church,
they we're transformed into house of
golden rod, the occasion being one of
the pleasant socials given by the NJ.
E. church ladies and young ladies.
Every room Of the Gables was decor
ated with golden rod, while the stair
case was a huge bower of that favorite
fall plant. The fire placo was fairly
hidden by plants and the flower of the
social while huge bell of rods was
suspended over the entrance, and here
stood a coterie of young girls, wearing
wreaths, necklaces, etc., of the rod,
carrying baskets filled with the plant,
and handing small bouquet to each
and all that passed under the bell.
Refreshments we're being continually
served, during which there was music,
readings, etc., Miss Patterson, of South
Dakota, reading several Original So
lections, Mrs. Philbrick, Misses Houck
and Messrs. Tanner and Martin sing
ing, while the band under the direc-
ton of Prof. Rogers, rendered several
serenades. Needless to say that the
social was brilliant success.
BAND RECEPTION.
Mr.. and Mrs. H.A. Baldwin delight
fully entertained the members of the
band at their residence, which was
profusely decorated with potted plants
and cut flowers, on East street, last
Thursday evening. The boys marched
in order to the residence, and we're
surprised, upon reaching there, to find
the young ladies of the city waiting
to assist Mrs. Baldwin. Refreshments
of a dainty kind, as Mrs. Baldwin al
ways serves, were served, the sound of
music was heard, and the party enter
tanned with some magnificent reading
by Miss Bissell.
THE KNIPPLE FAREWELL.
It was pleasant and jolly party of
old veterans that drove to the home
of August Knipple, eight miles east
of the city, last Saturday, to bid the
popular comrade, August Knipple and
his wife farewell, the two leaving this
week for the Worlds Fair and the
East, after which they will return here
for couple of weeks, and then spend
the winter in the beautiful Florida,
the land of ever blooming flowers.
The wives of the comrades came with
baskets we'll filled, and set table in
woods back of the house, which they
loaded with everything good to eat
from the turkey, chicken and salad to
the sun-kissed pear of New Jersey,
and around the board the Redwood
boys and girls of the late civil war
gathered, Mr.. and Mrs. Knipple oc-
cupied the head. An hour or more
was absorbed discussing the bill, after
which Mr.. Knipple sang several Ger
man songs. Speeches we're made by
Frank Kenney and Commander Hale,
and the remainder of the day was
spent in romping about the woods.
It was pleasant time and pleasantly
was it enjoyed by all.
A ROCK VALLEY PICNIC.
A jolly party of Redwood young
people drove to Browns Castle, near
Rock Valley Tuesday morning, and
spent the remainder of the day pic
nicing. The gentlemen were nearly
all band boys, and they kept music in
the air., A most delightful time was
had, but it was marred, to a certain
extent, by the carriage occupied by
Messrs. Luscher and Drake, and Miss
es Huntington and Clayson, breaking
down and the horses running away ,on
the return home. All four were thrown
ont of the vehicle, but fortunately sus-
tanned no injuries, The wreck was
