HONOR OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
a Great Gathering of Veterans and
Members of the Relief Corps
on Saturday Evening.

Saturday evening at Odd Fellows
Hall the Grand Junction G. A. r.
post gave a reception in honor of the
members of the Woman's Relief
Corps The gathering was alsi in
eommemoration of the approaching
birthday of Abraham Lincoln. A
delightful informal program con-
sisting of musical numbers, addresses
and recitations and stories was car
ried out and late in the evening light
refreshments were served by the
Post.
There were two orchestras in at
tendance and there was music all
during the evening.
One of the interesting features of
the evening was the anecdotes relat-
ed by Mr.. Kelley of hardware store
in the Margery block Mr.. Kelley is
perhaps the only man who ever en-
joyed a ride twenty-five miles over
land with Abraham Lincoln. His
parents resided in Illinois and were
well acquainted with Lincoln when
he was a young and struggling law
yer. Mr.. Kelley told of an incident
in 1857 when Lincoln stayed all night
at his fathers home on his way to
Danville to argue a case. He missed
the stage coach next morning and
young Kelley. now an old man. who
related the incident last night, hitch
ed up a pair of colts to a buggy and
he and Lincoln tried to overtake the
coach and failing to do that drove on
into Danville. Mr.. Kelley related
many amusing and interesting de-
tails connected with his ride with the
great emancipator. who entertained
his young driver by story after story
as they drove to Danville.
There were about two hundred
people present at the entertainment
and beside having n good time sin
cere tributes were paid to the mem
ory of the great Lincoln.
