Employees Entertained.

Hagerstown, Ind. March 6-The
Light Inspection car company enter
tanned its employees and families and
few of the friends of the officers of
the concern at an old fashioned taffy
pulling last night at Odd Fellows
hall. There were more than a hun
dred persons present to enjoy the hos
pitality and enter into the festivities.
The occasion was marked by hearth
ness and good will and the social hour
which followed the serving of retire sh-
ments was much enjoyed.
At eight o'clock musical program
was begun by the Teeter orchestra,
an organization composed entirely of
members of the Teeter families. The
numbers by the orchestra We're inter-
spersed with songs by Masters Lo-
THAR, Macy and Donald Taeter song
by Miss Addington and cornet solo
by Lothian Teeter. There was a violin
solo by Henry Teeter and a violin solo
by Mrs. Joseph Teeter. The musical
program lasted almost two hours, aft
'er which everyone was served with
light refreshments. which were pre-
Jude to the main feature of the even
ing, the taffy pulling. 1t was a good
humored crowd and the fun lasted I'M
til after eleven o'clock.
This was but one of the numerous
occasions furnished their employees by
this company throughout the year to
show the good will and appreciation
of the company towards the en-
pioyes. IT is safe to claim that there
is no manufacturing concern any
where that keeps more constant eye
toward the interests of its employees
than this. And it would be equally
true to say that every man is without
a grievance and appreciates the high
of this employment

BURIAL OF

Under the shade trees on his own
lawn. the last sad rites were said be-
fore James Conroy, pioneer, was laid
to rest. The service was preached by
Rev. Samuel Unsworth. Music was
furnished by a quartet.
So great was the host of Conroy 5
friends that the house was entirely
inadequate for the accommodation OF
the guests, and the service was held
on the broad green lawn.
Conroy came across the plains, an
orphan at the age of IL. That was
back in 80. He went on TO califor-
mia. where he made his home until
the days Of the Comstock, when he
cast his fortunes with those who
sought wealth in the great Nevada.
With the fall of the ComstockI
Conroy came to Reno and until
short time ago made his living as 9
professional gambler. And in hl'
business he prided himself as :
gentleman and an honest, reliable
person. His word was always good
and he never was accused of a CROOK
ed deal.-Reno Gazette.
