The most of our people celebrated
the fourth at Dow City, while many OF
the young folks went to Manila in
the evening to attend the dance.
One Of the pleasantest gatherings
the fourth was at the home Of Mr.
and Mrs. Joe Brewster who chose to
remain at home and invited few
friends to spend the day with them
Mr.. and Mrs. w. l.. Mortimer, Mr..
and Mrs. Neubaum and Mrs. Bonney
were the fortunate ones and they sure.
ly had fine day spent under the trees
in the shady yard, to say nothing of
the fine dinner and supper which most
of the ladies contributed to. 1t was
delightful way for the stay-at-homes
to celebrate and many thanks are due
Mr.. and Mrs. Brewster for making it
possible.
Mr.. Mesenbrink, of Charter Oak, is
the guest of his daughter Mrs. Neu-
baum. He came down to help cele-
brate his granddaughter's birthday,
but found that Linda had gone to
Denison on a visit, so he was disap-
pointed grandpa.
Dean Hahn is again quite i'll with
stomach trouble and is under the doc
tors care, who tells him he must not
try to work for month at least.
A large swarm of bees lit in the
park by the depot Sunday and Mr..
Morton thought he would save tht/
for Doctor Bonney, and with the aid
of one of the Greeks he succeeded in
getting them into cream can, where
by diligent sprinkling from time to
time he succeeded in keeping them un-
til early evening when the Greek
again came to his assistance, and
they took the bees down to the bee
yard. Several ladies accompanied
them to see the fun and there proved
to be plenty of it. Mrs. Bonney pre-
pared the hive, then with the other
ladies retired to safe distance. Mr..
Morton started in bravely to assist
the Greek by using the smoker, but
Bernice took pity on him and he
yielded the smoker gracefully to her;
he too retired. The Greek opened the
can and then the excitement COM
menced. The bees were very angry
at the treatment received and vented
the most of it on the Greek, but by
a miracle Bernice Bonney escaped, al
though she worked without veil or
gloves, while the men had both. The
whole party received. attention and
were followed up town by the mad.
dened insects and several of the
ladies found bees in their hair, but
succeeded in removing them without
getting stung. The relation of this
incident sounds rather tame, but it
afforded amusement and excitement
for the whole town. A spark from
the smoker got into one of the Greeks
pockets and burned hole before dis
covered and put out, but the nice big
swarm was saved for the doctor o. K.
