back from her recent home at
4 Shell Lake, Wisconsin, a little

be a young man of sterling
worth. He has a position as
day operator at Missouri Valley

Ip!e will be at home to their

w. X. c. PICNIC.

! We M " II ISlNlSs
Undoubtedly the most enjoy
able event in the history OF the
w. II. G.. for many years was
the picnic held at the home of
I Mrs. Childers at Pratt's lake
yesterday. Sometime ago Mrs.
! Childers invited her sister MEM
bers out to her home for the
day. Yesterday the ladies
awaited themselves of the OPP
portunity. They chartered
I Neufind's carryall, and with
we'll filled baskets went out in a
body, escorted by Col. Davis,
Brown and Berry. The day was
fine, the ride delightful. Reach
ing the home of Mrs. Childers
we filed out with baskets in
hand. The baskets was a sur
prise part of the picnic, but
Mrs. Childers would have none
Of it. Indeed, she insisted that
the baskets stay in the hall till
they run out of grub at the
Childers home. Of course we
were all hungry and our anna
BILE hostess seemed to divine the
same, for she soon had us seat
ed i'm the dining room round a
table filled with such good
things as are only found on a
we'll managed farm table.
Everything palatable was
served at that table, even to the
ice cream and delicious cherry
pie which Mrs. Childers knows
SO we'll how to make. Indeed
our hostess knew how to pre-
pare a feast, and loud were the
praises of the ladies upon her
most excellent serving.
After dinner everyone hunt
ed the cool shade of the trees
in the lawn. Some were
tempted by the waters of the
lake and went in for a wade.
Some resorted to hamrnocks
and swings for a doze. Indeed
la noon siesta seemed almost a
necessary after SO sumptuous a
repast.
In the afternoon a program
was prepared by Miss Jessie
.Childers, daughter Of our host
ess. Miss Ruth Williams, a
visiting guest from Missouri
Valley, assisted. The phono-
graph gave us some delightful
humorous numbers. Miss Ruth
entertained us with two very
we'll rendered musical selec-
tions on the organ, after which
Miss Jessie recited for us. The
young lady has been making a
study of elocution at the St.
Francis academy. She was not
only very entertaining but her
selections were so appropriate
that we were more than
pleased with her. A number
of the w. r. G. ladies respond
ed to call for speeches and
songs perhaps the most unique
part Oh Jne program being the
screen solo by Mrs. j. D. Brown

and this song missed half their

they were ready for the long

Harrison County's First Cele-
bratiOn

Addison Young told the Cb-
server reporter yesterday that
thu first Fourth of July cele-
bration in Harrison county was
held in 1851 in Harris Grove IN
the old Orendor place, occupied
un il recent years by Isaiah
Dickinson. There were only
about twenty-five families at
this celebration. as MIR. Young
recalls it, and he was a boy
about eight years of age.
Those who came drove oxen
and not a horse was owned in
the n. iehtnriood at that time.
The scaici j of horses was due
to the fact that settlers in the
carly days did not try to keep
them as the Indians stole them.
