80 North Jefferson Street, Huntington, Ind. i mm CLOTHING, GOODS HARRIS CLOTHING CO ONE PRICE. REUNION Of the Merriman Family Held Thursday. ABOUT 300 WERE PRESENT. Iatereatlajr Program Rendered LUt of Namea of ThoM "Wbo Were Present.

One of the largest and ioyable family reunions most en that was ever had in Huntington county, was that of the Merrimans at the ele gant country home of Newton A. Merriman in Rockcreek township. From early morn until noon they came from all directions with well filled baskets, and hearts full of glad anticipation of a day to be spent in fraternal greeting and reminiscences of "ye olden time." Every anticipation and desire was fully met. Promptly at o'clock a select choir rendered an anthem, "Praise Ye the Father," in an appreciative manner. At the close of the an them In the absence of Rev.

Bruce Monnsey, Rev. Alexander, of War ren, invoked the blessings of the Heavenly Father on the assembled people. Dr. P. L.

Robinson chairman, then introduced Newton A. Merri man who gave a he'arty welcome to all, on behalf of himself and estira able wife. He spoke feelingly of his early recollections of this and Wells counties and of the associates of his boyhood days, how that we all cher ished in fond recollection the mem ones of our childhood, that many oithosehehad known that were near and dear to him were not here to greet the many present, bu were gone from their hardships as pioneers xo taeir rewaru in tae man sion Home above. That while we looked over the past and thought of the loved ones that are gone it would be fitting to drop a tear to their memory. But we should no let the recollections of the pas cloud the brightness of the presen occasion; that we should remember the words of the Master and "Ren der.

therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's and unto God the things which be God's." 1 That today, good cheer would abound and everyone should enjoy the abundance to which they all were so heartily welcome. Rev. J. Rollin Henry, a former Huntington county boy, and now pastor of the Baptist church at South Port, Indiana, responded to the welcome in a very happy and felicitous manner; giving many anecdotes of his boyhood which were greatly enjoyed. He spoke eloquently of our duty to each other, that we should let our lights so shine as to reflect the will of God, that he for one believed being a merry man each day of life and recommended the same to others and especially on an occasion of this kind.

rPSTTnTV mm A vocal duet by Lona Merriman andNellore Robison, of Bluffton, was well rendered at the close of which the chairman announced dinner, the greatest event of the day. About this time the Mt. Zion brass band arrived, and that every one might be properly attuned for the bountiful repast that was being spread, discoursed most excel ent music. Everybody then seemed to be ready, and so were the tables laden with the best that "Wells, Whitley and Huntington counties could af ford. Mr.

Merriman had erected a long" protected by a cover, and in this two tables extended its entire length. Covers were laid for 125 persons, and that many were soon hard at work, laboring with might and main to level the huge piles of chicken and moun tains of cake before them, and while unable to succeed in the attempt, they made progress. After more than 250 persons had eaten there were many basketfuls remaining untouched, that would have fed as many more. After dinner the choir sang "Oh hail us ye free." The family his tory was then read by Dr. E.

Merriman, of South Whitley, Indiana. So far as known, the Merrimans of America sprung from two brothers who came to Baltimore early in the eighteenth century. One of these went away and was never heard of again, the other one, William, rear ed a family in Maryland and all of the greai number of the family are his descendants. The history was interesting thoroughout, showing that those who settled in Indiana immigrated from Wayne county, 0. The reading of the family history was followed by a song by the choir.

O. W. Whitelock was then intro duced by the chairman, and spoke a few minutes on the fact that the family had been pioneers in Hunt ington, Whitley, Wells, Porter, La grange and Elkhart counties of In diana, the enjoyment of these re unions and the propriety of holding hem frequently.
