| A family reunion was held on Friday
night at the residence of S. H. Gerrish,
| 1911 G street, in honor of the ninety
| fourth birthday of Mr.. Gerrish's mother,
many of the grandchildren and great
grandchildren being present. The even
| ing was spent in reminiscence and
! later ice cream and cake We're served.
! Mrs. Gerrish is really remarkable
woman in her way, and in spite of her
! great age retains perfectly every fac
ulty, and is we'll posted on all the i'm
portant issues of the day. She has
| lived TO see the fifth generation, the
children of her great granddaughter,
who residing in Livermore, could not
well be present on this occasion. Let
ters, however, were sent from the alb
sentees of the family. Not many
women have lived to see their great
great grandchildren.

Fred C. Yoerk has at last been caught
in the net of the sly little god who
makes half the mischief in the world,
and who goes about not seeking whom
he may devour" like the proverbial
raging lion," but whom he can i'm
pale on one of his shining arrows. Fred
is reported as the latest victim. The
lady who has so charmed him as to
make him forego the freedom of bach
elorhood is Miss Zilla Hand. One of
Fred's chums asked the date of the
happy event, and his reply was some
thing to the effect that it would be
when the autumn breezes began to
blow" so we have not long to hold
our congratulations in reserve.
Although slight mention has been
made previously of the picnic held by
the night school on the Fourth of
July" enough has not been said of the
occasion and it's creditable manage
ment To Julien Arnold one of the
teachers in the school, is due in a large
measure the pleasure afforded the par
ticipants in the days merry-making.
Mr. Arnold is one of our own high
school graduates, and although young
/
and does much to promote the welfare
! of the school and to promote also in
| terest in it from the outside 1t was
| he who at no small expense gave
! lantern exhibit at the school with slides
sent from San Francisco, and valued
at S400 The "Yolo Belle" and a barge
were chartered for the picnic and hand
somely decorated in red, white and blue
| bunting and flags. There We're about
| 100 picnickers and they were taken up
| the river to Pritchard'S Grove, a de-
lightful spot for a picnic, and here.
| through the generosity of some of our
large minded and big-hearted mer-
! chants, fine spread was laid for their
refreshment. Blue Canyon water had
also been donated for the lemonade so
that nothing was lacking. Games were
| induged in during the day, running
baseball, etc, for which prizes were
given, the same being donated by diff
| ferent business houses interested in the
effort. The party returned at about
$50 in ample time to enjoy the exer-
cises at the Capitol, after a most de-
! lightful ride down the river wherein
singing and speaking formed an eniov-
able addition to the days programme
all declaring the day to have been a
perfect one. POLLY OLIVER.
