UNION WARD REUNION.
The Folks Of That Peaceful Town Have a
Happy Time.
Union, Utah. March II, 1898.

Union, Utah. March II, 1898.
To the Editor:
Wednesday March 9, 1898, is q time
that Will be long remembered by the
good people of Union, Salt Lake
county. For week or two past the
Relief Society of that ward has been
busily engaged with the arrangements
for a reunion of the people, irrespective
of creed, politics or nationality, and
their efforts were crowned with
abundant success.
The days exercises commenced with
a serenade by the Union brass band
and program of songs. etc, in the
jolly procession wendell its way to
the Union Coop hall, where n sight
to gladden. the saddest heart greeted
the incomers. On each side of the hall
was n long table spread with more
delicacies than the season affords, for
the preserves of last season We're
brought out and laid with such skill
and good taste as TO make the mouth
water and the eyes fairly sparkle with
anticipation. Nor were the substan-
tials neglected, for eve gone contribut-
ing to the feast We'd with each other
in bringing the very best. About 225
persons sat down to the banquet thus
provided. and for two full hours did
the merry chatter mingle with the eat
ing and drinking, and the charming
walters, well. we don't like the idea
of any of them being carried off by
any one from afar but they fairly
"captivated the audience"
For the decoration of the hall n
special committee had been selected.
and by their efforts, with the aid of
bunting, flags. tinsel, evergreens and
paper, a grand transformation was
effected. A huge streamer, painted by
Miss Sarah Pate. was strung across
the ceiling bearing the words We'll
come to ALL" which was enclosed in an
immense diamond, the length of the
building. which diamond was com
posed of Stars and Stripes and bunt-
ing, the whole forming a most pleas
ing scene.
After the dinner service was cleared
away, fourteen members of the Y. l..
NJ. l. A. performed a dramatized
scene from the Book 4 Mormon, "the
conversion of King Lamont" In very
artistic manner, which was preceded
by songs, recitations, etc.
A dance then followed. of old time
figures, and n recess, and the evening
witnessed renewal of the light fan
tastic toe exercises till midnight.
The whole was under the direction
of the Relief society of the ward, and
won for them many good words and
thanks from the missionaries wives
and all who participated. c. ID.
