Mr. and Mrs Warren Davenport
were pleasantly surprised at their
home in Ferris on Saturday evening
last, when neighbors from Maple
Grove, formerly residents Of Daven-
port, with their friends from Crystal
gathered there TO renew old times.
The evening was spent in games
and music. The peanut relay race
was won by D. Corder; the cracker
race. by Mrs Ed. Marcy Of Crystal;
the string race. by George Dolloff
and the receiving of their respective
prizes was as amusing as the game
itself.
After refreshments. Miss Daven-
ports pupils gave program which
consisted of "A Pair Of Lunatics,"
Little Orphant Annie" and when

\ WORD OF APPRECIATION

Again and again we heard it said
the other night at the concert of the
Republic band what surprise it was
that a band which had practiced to-
gether for a comparatively short time
Should show such fine form as this
band did, The precision and spirit
of the playing were such as could only
be expected from "A much older or
ganization. Certainly this band has
been well led, well drilled, and their
music was treat to all who heard it..
The generous number Of extras was
also much appreciated.
No one can overestimate the value
OF a fine band like this to town such
as ours. A new and fine interest is
provided interest for those who
take an active part in the music and
for those who listen Everyone loves
good band music. and Alma is 20 be
congratulated that she is now to have
her share of it through the Republic
band May we often have the oppor-
tunity Of hearing it. thus repeating
the great enjoyment OF last Friday
and Sunday nights.
