attn. Mr.. and Mrs. Broom and Mrs.
Williams live at the place known as
the Stokes Stribling old place, near
the Richland school house. Every
one who knows the place reqlizes
! what an ideal place 1t is for q gath
ering of any kind; and indeed, truly,
this proved to be one Of tho best re-
unions we have had, this being the
fifth held.
The morning dawned clear and
beautiful, and the guests began. to
arrive quite early and kept coming
until about one hundred and thirty
were present. After hearty hand
shakes and greetings of old friends
and kinsfolks all assembled around
the organ and some good singing was
enjoyed. the singing being led by Mr.
Morton and Mr.. King. After lot Of
songs, old and new, had been sung,
Rev. VIM. King, Of Oakway, was ask
ed to lead in prayer.
| About / o'clock dinner was spread
on the long table, which had been
prepared for the OCCASION Rev. King
returned thanks, and every one was
| invited to help himself and herself
and to make themselves at home,
which all did. There was everything
on the table that one could wish to
satisfy the inner man, With plenty Of
ice tea. coffee and water to quench
| the thirst. After all had eaten to
their hearts content there was
enough taken up to feed as mauy
more.
After dinner some more good sing
ing was enjoyed. Especially enjoy
able were the duets sung by Mr..
Morton and little Miss Cleo King.
The tine passed all too quickly, and
soon the time came TO bid each other
goodbye and return home. Each
one expressed happiness at having
been present and hoped to attend
many more of these charming re-
unions.
Thus ded one Of the happcst
| reunions we have had. Although our
hearts were made glad to be with
friends and loved ones once more
we also felt sad and our hearts ached
/ at the vacancy caused by the death
Of Mrs. Mary Duke, sister of Mr..
Broom, whom the Lord saw fit to
call from this earth since the last
reunion was held one year ago. But,
then, we are made to think of that
great reunion in the skies, where we
will not have to part any more.
