COLESBURG FARMERS CELEBRATE
The farmers in the vicinity OF Coles
burg laid aside their tasks for the day
and assembled for their annual pic
mic in the park south Of the city. The
weather was ideal and everybody was
out for good time. A splendid pro-
gram was rendered by local musical
talent and an address by DR.. Brown OF
Epworth seminary. The Colesburg
band played several Of their choice Sc
lections which were much appreciated
The outstanding. feature of this get
together picnic. was the fact that this
community has learned the spirit OF
cooperation to the extent that they
meet together as friends and neigh
bors and have an enjoyable day, and
forget the hardships of the farm life.
They have begun to realize that farm
life is just what you make it. That af-
ter all the things that make life worth
while are not the dollars that they
make but the friends and the associa-
lions and the character which he wills

such gatherings and only regrets that
they are not more often in the county

II there are enough farmers who in
dictate that they would like to see such
