The Host Appreciates the Compliments.

The Riceville postmaster and car
riers were invited over to Cresco last
Saturday evening for q general good
time, the invitation coming from the
Cresco postmaster and the Skiddoo
Club, which consists of the Cresco Office
force.
The first thing on the program Post
master Mead took the bunch to the pic
ture show which was exceptionally
good. After the show they we've es-
corted to the Mead home where sump-
tuous spread was ready for all who. it
is needless to say, did ample justice to
the feed. After all had eaten all that
was possible, and great deal more
than was needed, Mr.. Mead gave his
. address of welcome which we will quote
in full: "We wanted you all to come
and we are glad you're here" which
was ably responded to by l.. P. Barth
of the Times.
The evenings program was opened
by business session of the Skiddoo
Club, where Chief Rattatt Fish show
ed those present how wonderful was
the ceremony of initiation for new
members, three being taken in, and the
words "taken in" are right.
After the business session a number
of the Cresco Office force entertained
the bunch with various songs which, as
many of the crowd had Caruso skinned
to a finish, was very heartily applaud
ed. Postmaster Organ did his share
Of contributing to the evenings jollifi-
cation by telling some stories that, as
we had never heard them before, he
must have been saving up for the &C.
casion.
The offices of Riceville, Elma, Lime
Springs and Bonair were represented,
in all thirty-five being present to par
take of the evenings festivities, the
postmaster and carriers Tyrrell, Swift
and Holbrook going from here.
Just before leaving Mr.. Mead was
presented with fine rocker by the
Cresco outfit.
To say that all had good time
would be putting it mildly and we are
all in hopes of being invited again.
