On Saturday night, May the 18th,
| the citizens of lone and the adjoin-
ing community rendered Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. A. Waters surprise party in
the skating rink at lone About
$3.50 in the evening, probably two
hundred and fifty or possibly three
hundred ladies, gentlemen and child
rem had congregated in the spacious
building and were comfortably seat
ed awaiting the arrival Of ]. A. and
his wife. In the meantime DR.. and
Mrs. Chick were devising some
scheme to land Mr.. and Mrs. Waters
at the rink without suspicion. We
did not learn how they managed it
but the visitors arrived amid great
burst of hand clapping. A couple of
special police collared Mr.. Joe and
made him stand up before the crowd
and give some reason for his leaving
the community. This was the first
number on the program. The~bal-
ance of the program was as follows:

this lengthy program came the cake
ond the punch. There was only one
kind of punch, but my my! the
cakes, most every kind under the sun
and lots of them. After disposing
Of these good eats the people visited
and the younger folks amused them
selves as they wished, and at almost
midnight the joyful party broke up,
all declaring that they had had the
time of their lives.

by the Misses Muriel and Marie Cason
on Monday night for the pleasure of

o. A. Brians, the Gooseberry post
master, was an lone visitor Wednes-
day of last week. He says he will
either have to move the Office closer
to his garden, or visa versa, as 1t is
just the proper distance from one
place to the other to keep his shoes
all worn out.
Mrs. John Olden left last Tues
day morning for Wisconsin where she
was called to the bedside of her mo-
ther who is very i'll. We hope she
will find her mother much improved
when she reaches her.
The ball game last Sunday be-
tween lone and Fairview was kind
of tame affair, the game being too
much one-sided to be real interest
ing. The score was Is to in Ione's
favor.
S. E. Moore has adorned his home

danger yet or not.
