THE BUCKEYE W.C.T.U
Mrs. Walthall Surprised at Good
Meeting at Jesse Hoover Home.

| Ladies of the Buckeye w. G. IT. II.
went to the Jesse Hoover home last
week for a special social time and in
spite of unfavorable weather condi-
lions there was a large attendance OF
the membership. About fifty OF the
enrolled members were out for the
occasion. 1t was an enjoyable affair
Throughout and the best Of spirit pre-.
vailed. Numerous pastimes provid-
ed entertainment for the company
during the afternoon and refresh
ments, oysters and other good things,
were served.
The Hooyers are leaving the local.
| ity, going to a new home between
Fremont and Ottumwa, and the ladies
took this means of expressing regret
at the change that will take the fani-
lily from the Buckeye neighborhood.
Another most ENJOYABLE gathering
of the Union, however, was OF preti-
Gus dote when the ladies were guests
of the Howard Reiner home upon the
occasion of the regular monthly meet
ing. A period before dinner was
probably devoted to needle work and
other occupation. Then came
plenteous aud enjoyable dinner Of
several courses
For the afternoons session an in
formal program in which almost all
present participated, was offered.
The big feature of the afternoon,
however, was quilt presentation to
the president. Mrs. S. j. Waithall, a
surprise for the. lady, by the way.
The present was an autograph quilt.
! Each ocer and each member had en-
broidered their autograph upon
block OF the quilt and the collection
made up into one harmonious whole,
cleverly pieced and put together. In
addition to the names OF the mem
bership there we're also those of past
presidents of the Union, making a
valuable collection. There were
seventy-two blocks in ALL The gift
was presented as a token of appre-
citation and esteem. Mrs. Walthall
has been at the head of the organiza-
tion number of years as president
and her effort and supervision have
brought advancement and betterment
in the things that count most.
Mrs. Walthall was at loss for
words with which to express her feel
mgs. The gift came as a big sur
prise for her. She has only recently
returned from an extended sojourn
along the west coast and she mad not
the slightest suspicion that she was
to be made the victim of such an Of
fering. She was deeply moved by
this evidence of consideration at the
hands of her associates and eo-work.
