In the pine clad hills of California
the country folhs had gathered at a

The male contingent of the gathering
was composed OF farmers, mill men
and logging hands; the fairer sex, the
wives. sisters and sweethearts OF the
men and the district schoolteachef.
who was the center of attraction OF tho
young men and who seened to be
aware OF her own popularity.
During the evening an awkward
bashful and roughly dressed logging
hand was introduced to the school
teacher and asked If he might have Il
dance with her.
The schoolteacher drew herself NJ

II may be Of public interest to note
that Missouri was the first state To

to do with her failure to elect II sena

tions defeated Benton In 1851 and sent

DESIRE REUNION OF THE

T. J. Murphy of Coal Valley writes
The Argus that he has received a let-

ILL.,, who was a member of COMPANY
A, 126th Illinois volunteers in the civil
war, suggesting that reunion of the
regiment be held at the state encamp-
ment of the G. A r. at Decatur May
21-23. Five companies of the regiment
were from Rock Island county and the
other five from Moultrie, Montgomery
and Effingham counties. The three
last named counties being nearer the
place of meeting, will no doubt be large
ly represented. Mr.. Murphy, who was
also a member of the regiment, sug-
gests that it will be a good opportunity
for Rock Island county members to
meet their comrades of long ago.
