Afternoon Program.

The program of the afternoon was
interesting and opened with song cold
Black Joe" blythe choir. Ira B. Rey-
nolds of LIE Ray township, resident
of the county since 1866, gave some
"reminiscences of the early days. Mr..
Reynolds said "that NJ. D. Mcnamara
was the oldest resident in LIE Ray,
but he came next. The two had joined
hands and were near..neighbors. When
I came to LIE Ray our town was SET off
from Jamestown-part in each town
ship Our soil and climate--is as good
quality as any to be found in the state
and the social quality of the people
excellent. There was no road from
Kasson to St. Clair when I came to the
countyssin December, 1865. We had
plenty of snow. Paid my fare on
stage but walked all the way. Only
two roads in LIE Ray at that time
Mankato to Elysian, and Mankato to
Steele county. In 1867 LIE Ray cast
two votes, now it casts nearly four
hundred votes. When we came west
we took our axes and did more to save
the country than the soldiers for we
made it possible for the flag to fly and
to raise our children. Instead of a
dense wilderness our farms are now
prairies. In early day we cut two
hundred ties to the acre. My father
rode on steamboat up the Hudson,
and helped the man set the poles from
Baltimore to Washington. The pioneer
made this country what it is today.
During the first 90 years we laid out
every road in LIE Ray. We used cradle
and scythe to cut wheat, now our
children can ride binders with canopy
top"
Mr. Mcnamara was called on and
said he loved the old flag and works
for it. He would give some remin-
iscences at the next meeting. came

we will leave to the younger genera
tion. Will leave this earth with good

c. E. Southwick, who rendered sew
eral solos during the day, and who
has resided in Blue Earth county
for many years, said that he
drove here with oxen from Faribault
when John Meagher was postmaster
at Marysburg. The country was for
merly the home of the Indian but now
is Gods country.
Patrick Mullen, the oldest resident
in Madison Lake, was called on but
was not present.
p G. Lyon of Jamestown responded
to call by the chairman and related
an experience he. had on the early days
in going to st. Peter with pair of
oxen.

The Old Settlers picnic and reunion
held yesterday was an illustriOus one
in the history of Madison Lake, fully
zoo people turning out to spend the
day, enjoy picnic dinner, see the
innumerable sports, and exchange
stories of pioneer days. The day was
most beautiful, with just enough
breeze from the lake to make it COM
Portable without wraps.
This gathering of pioneer residents
was the elimination OF conference
of the enterprising men of Madison
Lake and Mr.. J. NJ. Barclay of Point
Pleasant, in which it was desired that
an organization of old settlers be
formed in jamestown and other town
ships in close proximity. The reunion
was happy one, bringing together
many of the pioneers, who, although
near neighbors, have never before

Rive" ssafter which Rev. Father Ron
ayne of Marysburg gave an address in
part as follows:
STANDING in the dawn of the Goth
century we are assuredly at the be-
ginning of new epoch in American
history. The end of the 18th century
saw the birth and struggling infancy
of this great republic. The rapid and
extraordinary growth of America is
without parallel in the annals of
human history. We ought to chronicle
that portion of American history with
which we have especially to do-the
history namely of your locality and
people-their part and place in the
general history of the country. In
doing this we shall also be subscribing
the interests of the general history of
the country-for the history of par
ticular locality and people such as this
is specimen Of The great move
ment by which this vast continent of
America has been rescued and trans
formed from its primeval savagery into
the rich and cultivated homes of a
mighty people, and in this great his
toric movement these old settlers who
we have assembled here today to honor
have borne distinguished part. Per-
haps they themselves do not fully real
ize the distinguished position they oc-
cupy and the important part they have
borne in the great drama of American
history and development. The old set
tiers whom we greet today have not
only witnessed, but have actually
taken part they have borne their share
in this great historic movement of the
10Th century. Therefore let us honor
the old settlers of America ; with their
passing will depart unique and
never to- repeated figure in Ameri-
can history. Let us therefore chronicle
their history so that in after years
they may not become merely memory
and name like the rude and litter
ate red men whom they supplanted.
Let us honor the old settlers for the
hard and honest work they have
achieved, for the hard-won inheritance
they have handed down to the present
and future. 1 say from my very heart,
honor the old settlers of America; by
their lives of honest toll, by the pure
and upright families they have found
ed, they have done more for the world
and humanity than all the profigate
kings and emperors of old; and much
as admire the courage..and patriotism
of the heroes of the Civil war, deeply
as I venerate the memory. stirring and
dramatic as was their history, yet |
believe that in the eyes of posterity
their history will not be more really
interesting and certainly not more i'm
portant in its influence on the future
of humanity than the life and work of
those old pioneers who withstood the
trials encountered in early days, clear
ed the wild forests, titled the trackless
prairies, raised up homes, churches
and schools in the wilderness and thus
helped to lay deep and solid the found
alton of the great republic and the
civilization we now enjoy"
Following this address was solo
by J. E. Southwick and selection
from the band, after which lunch was
served on the lawn.
