SPICER SPELLS.
FRANK w. MURPHY.

Mr.. Harry Howard and sister Miss
Mary j. Howard were Spicer visitors on
Sunday.
This week the Park is pouring its vast
hordes of cattle through the Spicer lanes
and onto the hills beyond
Mr.. Fred Hills will meet his wife and
little children. harold and Margaret, at
CRANKY on Tuesday. They intend to
spend the summer in the Park.
The Spicer correspondent for the Un-
ion beat us to most of the news items
this week Hence this contribution is
brief for we will neither appropriate nor
repeat his notes.
1t looks as though the Eagle is not go
ing to scream with his usual vigor in
the Park this July Can it be that he is
getting old and his voice is weakening?
We should never be too busy to be
patriotic.
DIR. Carnine, who has on several occas-
ions entertained the people of the Park
with his interesting lectures, arrived at
Spioer on Wednesday. accompanied by
Rev Trowbridge and spoke at Hebron
that evening. DR.. Carnine is an elo-
quent speaker and every one should en-
brace the opportunity to hear him.
A very enjoyable party was given on
last Friday evening last by Miss Ester
Trownsell to number Of her friends
The evening was in music and games
after which refreshments were served
which would have tempted the appetite
Of an epicurean. The remainder of the
night was spent in charades and other
pleasant advertisements and when at
dawn the merry company dispersed, all
felt that they had been royalty enter
tanned by their hostess.
And the surprise of it all was that
they could have so deli ghtful a time
without dance, thing heretofore un-
known and which has been considered
an impossibility in North Park gather
ing.

A Card of Thanks.

The pastor and his family desire to ez
press their sincere thanks to the people
of Walden and vicinity for the hearty
way in which they participated in the
pound social given them on Thursday
evening, June Goth, at the church
Some didn't seem satisfied with the Civ
ing of one pound so they added several
extra.
While the articles are too numerous
and various to mention, we feel we ought
to say that the one who brought the
beans and limburger cheese should be
counted among the 'wise." There were
about seventy five present and all were
served to icecream and cake by the lad
les. While the pastor is assured of a
"fat time" he, with the others present,
will remember the occasion as pleasant
social event
