Some are remaining until over Sunday to have a little .quiet visit with their home folks, having been so busy during the week with other home comers that they have had no time for quiet sociable vlsitthg.' Not one word of criticism of the home coming was beard, even the fact that the balloon ascensions proved a miserable failure did not seem to cauee any dissatisfaction. Several remarked that It was the most orderly crowds day after day that the v had ever seen, and this fact was attributed to the fact that Rehsslaeer Is free from saloons. There were but few evidences of dissipation and that by persons to whom the habit has long been fixed. There was no danger of young men coming here from the country or from other towns kMd getting intoxicated, and with one exception and that had nothing to do with the home coming, there wore no arrests made. This fact made it safe for people to be on the streets at nil times and prevented the disgraceful scenes that often accompany similar events In wet towns. It was a great big time for all our guests and they left feeling mighty good about IL
