LOCUST GROVE
Last Saturday evening the first social
meeting since its reorganization, of the
members of the Horse Heaven Have-a-
Good Time Society, met at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Roy Larkin. That the
crowd fully appreciated the genial hos
pitality by which Mr.. and Mrs. Larkin
greeted them, was insured by the ready
manner in which each one took part in
the various games and amusements of
the evening, the principal feature of
the entertainment being cards and
dancing. Suitable prizes were awarded
to the lucky ones winning the greatest
number of games, and also to those
winning fewest games. Mrs. A. c..
Anon and Mr.. Wroe carried off the
first prizes and Mrs. Fred Peed and
Mr.. Puterbaugh got control of the con-
ISOLATION prizes. One of the most i'm
portant numbers of these social events
is the supper, and the quality and guam
tity Of the repast that was served Sat-
urday night, certainly was credit to
the charming hostess and all contribut-
ing. Not until the wee hours of the
morning did the company adjourn, each
one giving expression to pleasant
time and wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Larkin
a prosperous and happy life.

Messrs. Knapp and Nelson, of the
Richland bank, were out goose-hunting
last Saturday and Sunday, stopping over
at the Jim Dodsop ranch. Luck was
against the boys for they didn't get a
feather. The fact is, Ben, the geese
have gone into winter quarters in the
fodder shocks, away over in Ed. Lay
tons corn field.
Speaking of goose hunters reminds
us of a stunt done by A. L. Owens the
other day. Arch saw band of geese

and after much care and labor crawled
up within gun shot of the geese when
he thought to load up. He ran his hand
into his pocket for some shells and drew
out seven corn cob pipes without stems.
Not a shell did he have. He is taking
No-to-Bac, now.
