During the evening a number of HYMNS
were sung, principally the old hand-cart
songs. with which the people were wont
to cheer themselves onward during the
march. This feature of the entertainment
was under the direction of George Har-
rison, choir master. whose efforts proved
conclusively that even after the lapse of
fifty years. he had not forgotten how to
sing the old songs.
At the conclusion of the evening mo-

make the reunion an annual affair The
motion provided only that the meeting
be held somewhere within The confines of

smart and energetic, and while working
on the farm improved his mind by at
tending an evening school. lie went
West some years ago and that he has
succeeded in life is shown by the fol-
lowing paragraph:
The Republicans of Gunnison county
in naming a candidate for commissioned
from the second district can make n wise
selection in nominating Andrew Lcj1ne
for the position. He has served two
terms in this capacity and made one OF
the best commissioners the county ever
had. Mr.. Lcjune IS an indefatigab!e
worker and fulfilled the obligations of the
Office in a very commendanble manner.
He is honest, competent and trustworthy
and will look after the peoples interests
carefully. He is one of the most sue
cessful mining men in this part of the
state. Through his efforts thousands Of
dollars have come into Giinnison county
for legitimate expenditure in the develop
ment of mining property. Through his
management several promising enter
prises have been launched and good mines
opened.

the nomination and The Herald homes
