Coulthard Reception.
CALIFORNIA JUNCTION, Aug. II

CALIFORNIA j JUNCTION, Aug. &c.
An event long to be remembered
took place at the town hall last We'd
nesday evening. 1t was the eighty
eigth birthday of Grandpa Coulthard,
and invitations had been sent out to
his many relatives and friends, who
came from far ald near to take part in
the general festiv,ics of this occasion.
At five o'cloc i'll the evening table
loaded with the best of good things
YVES extended flo.n one end of the hall
to the other. lhN tab'e was fixed TO
seat fifty people; al d at six O'Clock all
the lear relatives OF the old gem le-
man, lis family &C m I g first, were .r-
ranged around the table with father
Coulthard at the head. Miss Burbank,
of Missouri Valley, being at the piano,
played march, and all marched
around the table with Grandpa Coult-
hard in the lead. Before being seated,
Rev Campbell, of Missouri Valley, pre-
sented the old gentleman with a large
silver plate, which had been selected
by the family and upon which was en-
graved the name, "Coulthard, 1912 and
1900, indicating the year of his birth.
Not often can such scene occur
as this great circle of one family pre-
sented. To the eyes of the acute OBJ
server it was sight that touched the
chords of sympathy and brought forth
a thrill of pride, for in few instances
can be witnessed the great great-grand-
child at one end of table with the
gray headed octogenarian of the same
flesh and blood seated at the other end
There were present 200 people, and
it required the seating capacity of four
tables. each person being relative of
Mr. Coulthard.
After the inner man was satisfied
and the tables cleared away the aud
fence listened to a beautiful tribute to
the old gentleman, delivered by
George Egan. This talk was nicely
selected, touching on the birth place
and general history of father Coult-
Eard's life, with an occasional quo
tation from Robert Burns, the Scottish
poet. "Aull Lang Syne" was then
sung with much enthusiasm by the
audience, after which one his grand
sons, George Harry Coulthard, deliv-
cred an Grafton OH Social influence >
which was an excellent and practical
address and one very appropriate fol
the occasion. Bert Moag followed with
a recitation, "Spartus to the Gladi
ators," in which Bert did his best, but
was annoyed somewhat on account OF
the sudiencs being alarmed at the APP
preaching storm, which threatened al
this time.
NJ Tileman, of Missouri Valley, sent
ont twenty gallons of the finest ice
cream for the occasion, and in one OF
the cans was found brick of cream
on which was beautiful rose fixed in
artistic form to be presented t.
Grandpa Conlthard.
From first to last this social gather
ling was one of the jolliest that ha.
heen known to collect in our littl,
town. GRANDPA Coulthard was the
liyeliest and happicst participant il
he whole affair, and remained to the
last joking and roasting with the boys
