Ott and Darr Reunion. ' The largest crowd that ever attended a reunion of the Ott and Darr families was in evidence at the home of John Ward last Thursday Over 500 people were present at the excellent program rendered in the afternoon and everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly. Many people from a distance attended and we regret that we cannot publish all the lames. Tl# Syracuse Orchestra played in the afternoon and fine speaking singing filled the program, in fact, it was impossible to carry out the entire preparations on account of lack of time. The only thing that marred the pleasure of the day was the accident to Majorie, the little daughter, of Mr. and Mrs. Verd Shaffer. While playing she fell and broke her arm. Otherwise the day’s pleasures were all and more than expected. Job& Ward and family worked hard to make the meeting a successful one and that they succeeded well will not be denied by anyone. v^ Airships In The Navy The advance in the art of flying and the improvements made in airships during the last few years have demonstrated that aeroplanes will play an important part in the warfare of the future. Our own navy, as well as the navies of other countries, is constantly experimenting with flying machines, and on another page this week you will find a very interesting story of the progress made in this direction, entitled “Aeroplanes in the Navy.” Launching an aeroplane from a battleship, heretofore quite a problem, is one of the things which have been satisfactorily solved described in this article. Exercises at Ebenezer. Children’s Day exercises at the Ebenezer church last Sunday evening was a children’s day in the fullest sense of the term. The renditions were simply fine. The ready responses by the children showed that some boy competent had been their leader. The songs were inspiring and fitting to the occasion. Perry Dull is the superintendent to whom is entrusted the splendid talents of a host of young men and women. The collection was $6.72.
