SUNNYSIDE

We of course don't know why our
little village is not more often heard
from.
Everything in the vicinity is pros
pering. Crops of all kinds are very
promising. Wheat seems to be a
speciality among the various grains
raised in this territory. The apple
crop may be fair in the h gh ground
orchards. Strawberries are in album
dance and the crop is now being har-
vested. A large amount of ground
is now being plowed for buckwheat
which will indicate large acreage to
be put in this staple grain.
Our school closed Friday last, when
very interesting program was rem
dered by the little ones in the after
noon. A large crowd was present at
the exercises which shows apprecia-
ton of the efforts of the teacher and
of the pupils.
We are very glad to state that our
schoolmate and friend, Mr.. Joshua C.
Breuninger, has returned to his home
in Sunnyside. Mr.. Breuninger spent
his early boyhood as our schoolmate,
later our teacher. Then having taken
a course of several years in the Uni
versity of Illinois, when the World
War came on we were sorry to part
with our boys and especially Mr..
Breuninger and the gang Of boys
of this community who answered their
country's call. During the years of
the war and afterward while our
forces were in Germany he played
very important part as a member of
the army of occupation in Germany.
He will spend but three weeks with us.
From here he will return to Europe
and from thence go to Palestine.
Mr.. Otis Fike, our new neighbor,
is building a very nice dwelling upon
what was formerly known as the L.
c. Nine property. 1t is said that Mr..
F'ike will be one of the permanent far
mer neighbors of this community We
wish Mr.. Fike all the success that
comes a farmers way. !
1t may be of interest to some to
know that our grange is doing very
nicely. Our membership is very large
and while we are only beginners we
are proud of our unit of the organi-
cation. We are all Grange boosters
and we are going to have a gay,
old time festival on Saturday evening,
June "a. Notice the posters; they
say we are going to show you a real
good time and more than plenty to
eat. All sorts of refreshments will
be served. The festival will be in
the grove at Sunnyside. We all have
a real time at Sunnyside and this is
to be no exception to the rule.
A number of the men of this COM
munity are employed in the mines
around Crellin. They report good
working conditions and plenty to do.
Plenty of work and money makes our
country boom.
On the 7th inst. Mr. F. W. Eiler,
a salesman, entertained quite num-
Der of ladies' and gentlemen at the
home of Mr.. Harry Stahl the host
demonstrating beyond doubt that
he was a good cook.
A very heavy rain fell in this vi
cinity on Sunday even ng, accompan-
led by heavy thunder and lightning.
The storm kept many from attending
the children's day services at Red
House and as a result these services
have been postponed until a later
date.
Mr.. and Mrs Gilbert Yutzy spent
Sunday in Crellin where they were
the guests of the formers brother,
Mr.. George Yutzy.
Mr.. W. G. Myers, of near Aurora,
purchased a large number of calves
in this neighborhood the first part of
the week.
A large number of folks, young and
old, attended the festival at Under
wood and Hauser Saturday evening.
Don't forget that June oath is the
date for the old fashioned festival to
be held here.
