G. A. R. Had Pleasant Time At Monthly Dinner.

Ladies of the G. A. R. met at the home of Mrs. Rachael Scott Thursday for their monthly social gathering. About 40 members were in attendance and there were eight comrades. An especially good time was enjoyed by everyone present. Sister Scott was the recipient of many nice presents and will also receive an emblem pin from the Circle ladies and G. A. R. members at the meeting to be held Thursday, June 14. Post No. 84 is invited to be present on this day. One of the leading features of the occasion was a large birthday cake, which Mrs Scott donated in tonor of two birthdays, those of Nettie iScott and herself, she being 75 years of age and Mr. Scott 47. Another pleasant feature was the arrival of Mrs. Scott’s nephew, Elbert Antrim, of Chicago; Mr. Antrim is a former graduate of Rensselaer high school. A fine dinner and good social time was held.—Contributed.
