SIGNAL OF DISTRESS
Allison Nailor Receives Marked 81 Bill Presented to Odd
Fellow in Sweden Under Peculiar Circumstances.

Probably the most unique United
States 81 note in existence and certainly
the most unique from an Odd Fellow $
standpoint is that in the possession Of
Allison Nailor, well-known Odd Eel

note returned to him under peculiar
circumstances after il had been out %
his hands for a year and six months to

great pleasure. 10 them TO make others enjoy
themselves.
Last Wednesday the Due West A. Il. L.
Sabbath School took Its annual outing al
McAdam's Sbring. They were especially
happy in the selection of this spot for a
picnic, as those who have been there will
agree. All the prerequisites for picnic
grounds are found here-a quiet spot plenty
of shade, and a big bubbling spring, to which
were added benches and a table. The music
added much to the enjoyment Of the occa.
sion. Due West has always had good sin
gers, and there seems to be no diminution OF
this talent.

Lebanon Picnic.

The people of the Lebanon section always
hospitable. eXcelled themselves on the oc.
casion OF their annual picnic last Friday.
Lebanon is one of the lane marks of our
county, having been settled early In It's
history by Scotch Irish and Hugenots. whose
descendants are today amongst the best OF
our Citizens.
The picnic passed off quietly and pleasant.
ly for the large crowd present, and especially
for the old soldiers and candidates who were
given a place Of honor at the dinner table.
II is the universal verdict that's the dinner
could not have been improved on.
The hash was excellent. While the other
meats and dainties prepared by the good
women OF Lebanon were simply too inviting.
Though a goodly humble OF candidates were
present., there was no speaking. 1t was
purely a social gathering where friends and
n%eighbors forgot for a time the cares of busi-
ness and renewd their pledges OF good will
in the friendly handshake.
There is no section of the county where
the people are more harmonious n where
visitors receives a kindlier greeting.
