ANNUAL MEETING
Details Of Re-Union Of Pioneer,
TO Be Held at Willmar.
June 10th:

Upon invitation extended by the
Willmar Commercial Club, the an
snual meeting of the Kandiyohi County
Old Settlers Association will be held
in Willmar on Friday, June 20, 1919.
Arrangements are being made for a
very interesting meeting, and If the
weather is favorable there should be
very large attendance.
! Every person who has lived in
Kand1yohf county for thirty years is
eligible to membership, and is cordi-
ally invited. to join the association.
Those who are not eligible for mem
bership are invited to attend the meet
ing anyway.
A special invitation is extended to
the veterans Of the Civil War, Span
ish War and the World War. The
committee has been fortunate in se-
curing Rev. G. X. Stark of the Eman-
uel Swedish Lutheran church of Min
neapolis as the principal speaker. He
has a reputation as an unusually elo-
quent speaker, and as his address will
be mainly along patriotic lines it will
be especially interesting to those who
have risked their lives that freedom
might live.
A committee consisting of E. E..
Lawson, Peter Bonde and Hugh Camp
bell has been appointed to arrange for
entertainment features, and we know
from past efforts that they will give
us something worth while.
The forenoon session will be held
at the court house. From 9 to II
o'clock the secretary will be there to
receive dues and enroll members.
The business meeting will be from II
to - o'clock.
AS has been the case the past two
years, a picnic dinner will take the
place of the dinner formerly furnish
ed members by the town where meet
ings were held The association has
grown so large that furnishing free
dinner has become heavy burden
on any town, and the executive com
mittee feels that this feature, which
was all right when the society was
small, should be eliminated for the
future The dinner will be at the
Fair Grounds. Coffee will be furnish
ed free to all picnickers, If they will
bring their own dishes. Soft drinks,
ice cream, ETC., can be obtained at
| refreshment stands on the ground.
