Feb. 1.-The Rock Island County
Old Settlers association held its
annual meeting yesterday at the
Rock Island house. The old set
tiers have decided to have no more
winter festivities. Instead there Will
be two picnics during the summer
season. The old folks complain that
the young people take possession of
their indoor entertainments and
make them an occasion of rOllicking
and dancing. in which they them
selves take little pleasure, where as
in their open air pleasures they may
have their enjoyment exclusive from
unwelCome guests.
