in some sections, yet it is more than
probable that down in Jersey and
throughout the southland particularly
there are still plenty of peaches to be

RosEBERRY BOISE COUNTY, THURSDAY OCTOBER 81 1907
SURPRISED.

The above caption is inadequate
to express the feelings of John R.
Wallis, the retiring editor of the
ADVOCATE, last Friday night. Mr..
Wallis was at the office working
when the remainder of the office
force grew weary and tried to get
him to quit and 60 to the hotel,
but he had made up his mind to
do that work and could not be per-
suaded until others came in and
made so much noise he couldn't
work. All unsuspecting he was
accompanied to the hotel and then
induced to take the phonograph up
to the parlor to play few pieces
for some lady visitors. When he
opened the door, great was his sur
prise to find the parlor filled to
overhowing with his friends, but
nothing daunted he began the mus
ic and was not fully aware of the
meaning of it all until relieved at
the machine and invited to a seat
of honor as the central attraction.
After number of selections on the
phonograph, Mrs. Fullmer favored
the assemblage with a splendid
recitation following which Mr.. H..
G.. Warner arose and in a short but
very appropriate speech full of
sentiment presented Mr.. Wallis
with a beautiful gold watck2fob as
a token from his friends here. Mr..
Wallis was so full of emotion that
it was hard to find words to express
himself for a few moments, but
was finally able to articulate neat
acceptance.
Dainty light refreshments were
served in the parlor and more mus
ic followed on the phonograph. At
about l O'Clock in the morning
Miss Lila A. Higgins put on the
finishing touches by taking flash
light photo and the guests then
departed, feeling that the evening
had been well spent in a good
cause. Those present were Mr. and
Mrs. D. N. Higgins, Mr.. and Mrs
S. M. Sisk of Crawford, Mr.. and
Mrs. E. Culpepper and Mrs. Belle
Leffingwell, Mr.. and Mrs. J. w.
Pottenger, Mr.. and Mrs. Ira Blank
enship, Mr.. and Mrs. H. G. Warner,
Mr.. and Mrs. J. N. Garrett, Mr..
and Mrs. o. A. Fullmer, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. F.. Fisher, Misses Lila A
Higgins of Crawford, Myrtle Scott,
Edith Pottenger and Messrs. John
R. Wallis, Harry Lingren, Parker
V. Lucas, R. M. Parks, w. F. May
hew, S. N. Dowell A. E. Ehle and
Fred Mullin. +
Messrs. Harry Lingren, Parker
V. Lucas and Miss Lila A. Higgins
were the chief propagators and
perpetrators of the affair and de-
serve credit for the well-planned
and successful elimination of their
efforts in this the farewell recep-
ton. ~

It is not without pleasure that
= are permitted to appear before
ne people of Long valley as man
,epr Of the ADVOCATE and given
ne opportunity of contributing
AT little mite toward the upbuild-
ne Of this garden spot which we
re re pleased to call our home.
There was time in this grand
and great valley when each settler
knew the other, but within the
mast three. years many new faces
have come to share the burdens
and ioys-our's is one of those.
We are just plain homesteader
and the winning of esteem and
confdence will depend greatly up
on our actions in the newspaper
field, of which you can judge most
" by perusal of the paper, which
should be in every home in our
alley. In conclusion we will say
that we would like to have you
call and get acquainted-tell us
the news of your locality; that we
wish to treat every individual (as
such and collectively honorably,
fairly and, consequently, pleasant
"; that the policy of the paper
IS "the welfare Of Long Valley;
that we need correspondent at all
towns and postoffices in the valley
not already supplied, and that we
desire the good will and support of
the public in behalf of the paper.
As to taking Mr.. John R. Wallis
place on the paper, that is out of
the question. Mr.. Wallis founded
the paper in those days when a
local paper was not much appreci-
Sted in the valley, as there were
not many to appreciate it. No one
but Mr.. Wallis knows the trials,
hardships and privations incident

surrounding his early days here
mas endeared him to the people for
DIS courage in those times that try
mans every faculty, and his
leavlng us creates a vacancy in
Iaelr hearts that will be hard to
nA. His patience, honor and hard
WORK were later rewarded with a
prosperous condition and we SYM
pathlze with him that he is not to

tiaole friends here wish him and

we eextend fraternal farewell.
aside we can say that we have
~ complaint to make of our treat
