BARNES COUNTY
PIONEERS H0N0RED

The pioneers of Norma township
assembled at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
T. J. Lee, Sunday last, the occasion
being the celebration of Mrs. Lees
seventy-ffth birthday The assem-
bling was complete surprise to the
Lee family. Sixty neighbors came
and brought refreshments with them.
The ladies took absolute possession of
the home and drove Mrs. Lee away
rom the vicinity Of the kitchen.
In 4 shcrt time the family was in
vited into the dining room where a
table was spread, and viands such as
only the ingenuity of competent
housewives can prepare were in abun-
dance. The table was decorated with
carnations and ferns, while seventy
five lighted candles represented the
years that had passed away. The
family sat down to this repast in the
presence of their guests. At this
point in the program Rev. Struckness,
Of Fingal, was called upon to offer
thanks. In responding Mr.. Struck
ness addressed the assemblage with
remarks appropriate to the occasion,
referring at times to the many vics-
STUDIES of pioneer life in ter, i
days. Following the address, re-
freshments were served to the guests
by the cafeteria plan, Will the Lee
family enjoyed the honored table and
received excellent service.
This occasion brought back to all
present the old spirit Of the pioneers,
which is gradually being forgotten,
and al, felt that it was the most JOY
Gus occasion since the good old days.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lee came to Norma
township in 1879. They were one of
the three first families to settle in that
township. Most Of the pioneers were
young. Mrs Lee, being thirtyfour
years of age, became the mother, as it
were, to the community. She has
maintained that place in the hearts Of
the people of the community. During
all these years. Mrs. Lee has never
turned away the stranger from her
door. The settler, the enligrant, the
pedler, the salesman, all found a re-
fuge at the Lee homestead. It was
this life cf unselfshness that develop
ed a personality that has endeared her
to all her neighbors and friends, who,
in token of their love and esteem pre-
sented her with two beautiful pieces
of cut glass, as birthday remem-
brance.
Mrs. Lee is the mother of nine chill
dren, seven of whom are living, six
being residents CT Barnes county We
join with the friends who so appro-
priately celebrated the birthday of
this worthy lady, in wishing to her
many more happy birthdays. Mrs:
Lee is one of the few who remain of
that sturdy stock who blazed the path
for the civilization we now enjoy.

VALLEY CITY DE ::
FEATS CASS'ET0k

In the second and last Sle on the
home floor this season thu q 3me boys
were able to secure vict 8 over the
fast team from Casseltof e The Cas-
seltcn team was arrang' for at the
last minute when Coope own failed
to come owing to the suS q sion of the
team from school. They gave the To-
cal fans and team much better game
than was anticipated from the Coop
erstown team. The game last night
was probably the fastest game the
Valley team has met this year includ-
ing the Fargo game and the defeat
Met at their hands.
Casselton has large husky team
and one which will show Fargo a hard
run in the district tournament at Wah-
peton next week to represent that
district. They played a hard game
last night and the local team showed
up better than at any other time dur
ing the season but yet has many crude
spots to overcome before the tourna-
nent next week at Jamestown. Bus
dicker at center played a marvellous
game during the first ten minutes Of
play and even during the entire game
played a superior style of ball than he
has shown before this year. During
the frst half the locals outplayed the
Casselton team in every phase Of the
game and kept the score about two to
one all the time. They showed more
team work and better shooting abil-
ity than shown in the jamestown
game. Delaney was the wheel Of de-
fense and Larson played fair floor
game from the same petition but
failed to return to his position rapidly
enough. Wertin played fair game
but was handicapped by being injured
before the game. started. Ford play
ed fine game during the first half.
During the second half the Casselton
team outplayed the locals in almost
every phase of the game and winning
the long end of the score during that
period by one point. Had there been
the speed and passing of the first half
first half the score would have ended
quite differently and also had there
been few minutes left to- play with
the style of ball played during the last
half the score would have been much
different as the Casselton team was
bringing the score up rapidly when
the time was up Lyon replaced Ford
during the second half.
The local team goes to Enderlin to-
morrow morning for their last game
before the tournament next week at
Jamestown. The team will go in a
somewhat crippled condition and sew
eral of the first team be left at home
in all probability.
The score of the game last night
was 1924. F. c. Spalding Of the Nor
NAL Officiated.
