One of the pleasantest events of the
past week was a surprise party on Mr..
and Mrs. Christ Gloe last Tuesday
afternoon at their pleasant home in
the country about four miles south
west of town. The ladies took lots of
good things for dinner and enjoyed
a social day. Mr.. Gloe and his es'
timable family will move to South Da-
kato soon, where they will make their
future home.
Mrs. Byron McMullen returned from
a visit to Denison Tuesday evening
and Byron now smiles again.
One of the pleasantest parties ever
given in Buck Grove was a valentine
party given in the hall last Tuesday
evening. 1t was a surprise party
given in honor of John Green and fam
lily and L. w. Hagen and family. The
affair was managed very nicely and
everybody in town was invited. Greens
were invited to Hagen's party and
Hagens to Green's party and it was a
very agreeable surprise all around.
The hall was tastefully decorated with
hearts and looked very nice indeed. A
fine lap supper was served, after
which Daniel Hemphill made the pre-
sentation speech and presented each
family with beautiful rocking chair
as a token of esteem. The little folks
were not forgotten either. Verne and
Leroy Hagen each received pocket
knife, the delight of every boys heart.
Silvia and Kitty Green were each pre-
scented with handsome book and
Baby Green received little rocking
chair. The evening was spent in all
kinds of games, according to what was
congenial to each, and everybody eX-
pressed themselves as having had a
most enjoyable time. Buck Grove, in
the removal of the Hagen and Green
families, loses some of the oldest set
tiers. Mr.. Hagen's fathers farm oc-
cupied a goodly portion of where the
town now stands and John Green's
father helped to build the railroad
through here. We are sorry to lose
these people, but hope they will all
do better in their new home. Great
credit is due the ladies who got up the
party and so successfully carried it
through. None but the townspeople
were invited as the weather was so
bad that it was next to impossible for
the country people to get in and the
ladies did not like to send out the in
vitations for fear some good friends
might be overlooked and they did not
wish to slight anyone, and that is the
reason that the toWnspeople had the
pleasure of attending.
Miss Mollie Griffin went to Dow City

Another very pleasant surprise party
was given to John Dieber and family
Thursday. Their neighbors and friends
gathered at their home and took lots
of good things to eat with them, stayed
to dinner and had good social time.
Mr.. Dieber and his family will leave
this week for Ainsworth, Neb., which
will be their home in the future. They
have lived in this vicinity for many
years and leave many warm friends
behind them, who regret to see them
go, but who wish them prosperity in
their new fields of labor.
Mrs. George Finley has so far re-
covered from her recent illness as to
