| The Old Folks Party which hat
been announced on various previous
occasions proved to be a grand sue
cess. The hall was filled to the limi
with people. 1t being day for the
| veteran fathers and mothers who ha(
so nobly pioneered this country; nc
pains was spared in making the pro
gram entertaining. The people oil
both Groveland and Porterville co.
mingled with the greatest felicity
To see the expressions-the smiling
| faces and feel the hearty hand
shake as you greeted the silvery
crowned citizens would be almost
sufficient for envying them the sta
ton In life to which they had SO
nobly attained. May the scene wit
messed remain wildly impressed up
on the minds of the younger genera
ton, and may the people of tomorrow
be as kindly disposed toward each
other as the fathers of today, then
with emotions of intense love will
the trials of the pioneers be narrat-
ed and carried on until their deeds
shall grace the pages of history.
To praise each person on the pro-
gram for his merits and talents
would be too great task. Let it
suffice to say that every part was
rendered in the spirit of the occasion,
and that each rendition testified of
the intrepidity of the undaunted
pioneer. The Palmer Bros. being
present the program was greatly in
riched with music, toasts, sentiment
and comedy

At this stage OF the program the

tranquility of the hall was changed |
to that of a noisy shop; hammering,
mailing, fastening of boards ON tres
sles to serve as tables; all under the |
direction of Bro. Israel Butt, was
performed with great dexterity. The |
,ables made che eyes next behold |
with delight personages from fairy |
