A private party of fifty ladies and
gentlemen enjoyed an outing trip to
Quincy by boat last Thursday. They
were met at the landing by COM
pany of Quincy friends, who so de-
lightfully entertained them, with re-,

Mr.. Orange Fields came very near
being forced to desert the Keokuk
crowd last Thursday in Quincy, not
because of any conduct that met with
the disapproval Of the party, but the
boat was scheduled to leave at 3
o'clock and it was few minutes
past this hour when we realized Mr..
Fields was not aboard. Looking in
the distance we saw him making time
as never before. On being asked TO
explain the cause of his tardiness, he
was forced to acknowledge that
Quincy was the home of former
sweetheart, and then without further
ceremony he was exonerated from all
blame. "
