REUNION AND PICNIC.
Iowans Have Gathering and Basket
Dinner Tuesday.

The Iowa Benton County Asso-
citation is what the title of the or
ganization indicates, namely an as
sociation of Benton county people
who formerly made Iowa their
home. Similar associations are
quite common in other localities
but the Iowa people are the first to
form an organization of the kind
here. The idea is commendable
one. Its purpose is to promote
healthy social intercourse and every
organization with a like object
strengthens the community govern
ment.
Members of this association will
hold their first annual picnic Tues
day, September L. 1903 in Averv's
grove adjacent TO Mary's river
bridge. The meeting is called for
1890 at which time the election of
officers for the coming year will oc-
cur, and also the transaction ofsuch
other business as may be presented.
A basket dinner is to be given at
noon in which there is a general in
vitation to bring luncheon and par
ticipate. A large number of per-
sons not eligible to membership are
expected to be present and all are
welcome. At2 o'clock p. M, a
short programme will be rendered
consisting of speeches, music and
other entertainment appropriate to
the occasion,
To facilitate the completion of
the organization all Iowans of the
county are. requested to register
their names at the store of Miner
& Wellsher.

Large Number Of Towns In the
Last Year.

railroad map Of Kansas for 1903, which
was issued Saturday by the board OF
railway commissioners, shows that the
state has lost a large number Of towns
in the last year. The loss Of these
towns Is the result Of the spread OF the
rural free mail delivery system, which
has wiped out the little post offices.
Then number of the boom towns have
gradually shrunken in size until the
railway commission refuses to take
cognlzance Of them longer. Nearly
every county in the state has lost or
gained towns in the year. The name
Of one river in the state has been
changed. 1t is that of the Grasshop-
per, which is changed to Delaware.
