A FAMILY REUNION.

A family reunion of marked Interest occurred at the well known home of O. K. Ritchey five miles southwest of this city, on Sunday last. It was a meeting of the long and favorable known Ritchej/ family. It is useless to say that it was a pleasurable success, for everybody knows that O. K. is a skillful entertainer, and his wife, the generous hostess, is noted for her good cooking. The dinner was elaborate and bountiful and' the hungry multitude to the number of 33, were filled to the point of uncomfortable repletion. The family was pained to know that one sister, Mrs. Dowming of Little River, Kansas, and their son Grover of Lisner of Oklahoma City, were absent, bon, N. Dak., and Mrs. Albert Farmer of Oklahoma City, were absent, posed of in part, the time was spent in playing various games. All know’ that O. K. don’t believe in palling down the amusement lid too tightly. Near the close of the day the guests were loathe to leave the home whence they had spent the day so happily. BY A FRIEND.
