Mrs. Laura Braden of Amoret il
enjoying visit from her sons, Alber
and VIM. R. Braden, Of Kansas City,
Mrs. A. J. Meints and daughters,
Fannie and Margaret, were callers al
the Frank Bohlken home Friday.
Rambler and family excepting our
son, Cecil, attended the east Mt. Zion
picnic Wednesday, which was held in
the VIM. Henderson grove. There
was one of the largest crowds that
had been there for years and in our
Rambling around" (at noon) it would
be almost an impossibility to be at a
picnic where there was as many good
things to eat. If anyone went home
hungry they must have been devilish
bashful. The Mulberry Hay-Seed
Band furnished the music and were
at their very best as so many of the
bachelor boys realized that next year
was 'Leap Year" and were building
great hopes for the picnic in 1912.
Supt. M. U. Barker of the east Mt.
Zion Sunday school had charge of the
program. The schools that took part
in the program were the Excelsior,
Boicourt, Trading Post, Mulberry,
the Baptist from Amsterdam, both the
Christian and United Presbyterian OF
Amoret and the home school. The
exercises were the best ever given
at this place and consisted of recita-
tions, readings, drills, singing by the
different schools, also quartets and
duets. At the close of the program
the Amoret junior ball boys and the
Pumpkin Rooter "men" had match
game and played a tie game but the
little boys were entitled to the game
as the Rooters had to change players
and had some of the best players that
could be picked up. AS whole this
was one of the days long to be re-
membered by those that attended.
Robert L. Braden and wife of But
ler visited at the Mrs. L. M. Braden
home Thursday and Friday.
Mrs. j. H. Leiner and Miss Anna
Weimers were guests at the Tom
Schmel home Friday.
Little Harlene Elizabeth Porter and
ner mother were callers on little Miss
Dorothy Hall and her mother in
Amoret Tuesday. These little misses
ct their mammas do all the talking.
At the close of the visit there was a
match with an almost even
break.
Thursday the friends and neighbors
cleaned up the Mulberry cemetery.
The day was warm but the ladies'
;ame along and had a dinner at the
;hurch waiting for the men at noon.
rhe men soon forgot the weather con-
litions, as they usually do when a
rood feast is spread before them.

'ena, left Friday for Golden, ILL.,, for
