A PLEASANT REUNION. — The Homan
home on the White Hall road now owned
and occupied by G. W. Homan, one of our
prosperous farmers, was the scene of a happy
reunion on last Saturday. Sixty relatives
had been bidden and most of them were
there to share the sumptuous dinner that
consisted of all good things the market af-
foyded. A thirty pound gobbler graced the
table and the day was most pleasantly spent.
It was an occasion long to be remembered
and the best part of it everyone who was
present, with a single exception, were true
loyal Democrats.

THE BoALSBURG FEAST—The banquet held
under the auspices of the Odd Fellows social
club, of Boalsburg, at the cosy home of R. B.
Harrison, on Main street, last Friday night,
was a decided success. Mr, and Mrs. Harri-
son did their part well in taking people in
and making them comfortable. They ex-
tended the right hand of fellowship to mem-
bers and old acquaintances and the 16th
anniversary of the Boalsburg lodge was
greatly enjoyed as well as the chicken, oys-
ters, ice cream and cake prepared by Mrs.
Harrison. The village blacksmith Condo,
whose white locks proclaim him to be the
senior member of the lodge, was the centre
of attraction during the after supper exer-
cises. Helen Myers presided at the organ
and made the balance of the evening enjoy-
able with vocal and instrumental music. R.
B. Harrison was elected toast master but con-
fined his remarks to making his guests wel-
come. Mamie Wibly recited a poem and so
well that the entire audience were pleased.

instead of annually.
