A PLEASANT GATHERING.

One of the most enjoyable reunions of relatives and old frleritis that has taken place in this county fdr a long time was that held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Pancoast in Newton tp., Sunday. Mark Yeoman, a resident of this county from the time of his birth to a few years ago, when he moved to near Kingman, Kan., where he now resides, was the guest of honor. D. L. Richardson and wife of Fowler were also present, the other guests being relatives of Mr. Yeoman living west of town of the same name, and several neighbors. A long table was spread under the trees in the yard, and a canvass stretched over it to insure a good shady place, and upon this table was spread a dinner just as good as the wives, daughters and mothers of that vicinity know how to prepare, until the table fairly groaned under the load of good things. Then a watermelon feast was indulged in during the afternoon, until' everybody had been filled to the brim. One of the entertaining features of the day, phonograph, organ and piano music and other diversions, added much to the pleasure of those present. Pleasant memories will haunt those present for many a day, and they will never forget the charming manner in which the hostess on this occasion contributed to. their physical and mental enjoyment.
