A splendid attendance of members and many out-of-town visitors enjoyed the delightful afternoon.

Four chapters of our interesting "Barnabetta" was read, and at 4:30 a splendid lunch was served on the convenient tray, which not only simplifies matters but is a great surety against misfortune.

The fact that one of the bridges east of Girard (on the Hitz mill line) is out of repair and almost blocks teams and buggies from Edison and vicinity, should receive the attention of Girard's citizens. This road has not been in decent shape this spring, in fact, is not as well dragged as the county roads to the south and west. Some attention and work would do the business. MRS. J.

FRANK McNAUGHT entertained about twenty ladies at bridge last Tuesday for Mrs. Alice Barker Torner, of Marietta, Ohio. After some time pleasantly spent at bridge a delicious two-course luncheon was served. The out of town guests were Mrs. Alice Barker Torner, of Marietta, Ohio, Miss Flossie Coulter McElvain, of St.

The "little boys" are having the time of their respective lives this afternoon talking over doings of each other since they last met.

Mr. Gunn is author of "The Life of Lincoln" in poetry, and also of poems on Odd Fellowship and Masonry. He delivered his poem on the life of Lincoln at Lincoln's tomb in Springfield on the 30th anniversary of the emancipator's burial in 1895- Taylorsville Breeze. From The Walnut Advance.

This indeed is quite a misfortune to Mr. Danner. His herd now consists of only one calf. -The Crawford County Kansas Association of Southern California met June 6th in Echo Park, Los Angeles. It was an ideal place and an ideal day, just such as Southern California is noted for.

After an hour spent in visiting and greeting those arriving, a fire was kindled, coffee was made, kraut and weinies cooked, tables set from overflowing baskets, and forty-two persons sat down to partake, while Mrs. Stevenson and Mrs. Chadwick passed coffee and the hot things from the furnace, and such a dinner as it was is seldom enjoyed by mortal man. All the good things we used to cook in kansas, besides many new dishes we've learned to make since coming to the coast. After the business Session all enjoyed themselves as suited them, but we noticed that all (except the children) stayed close together and just had good visit, and 5 o'clock found the last one reluctantly leaving for home.
