In the death of this young lady a mother is left comparatively helpless, as this daughter was the main home dependence. The family have the sympathy of the com munity in their great loss. One of the very pleasant affairs which it has been our privilege to attend was that at Me. and Mrs. Will Muret's, where the pupils of district 10 were invited to cel brate Washington's birthday.

A year ago Mrs. M. gave the school an invitation and all enjoyed the affair immensely. Fearing to intrude too much on your space, we will not give the program, in full, but simply say that the children responded splendidly to the demand made on them. Mr.

Anderson had 3 program prepared which occupied about an hour in rendering, but the hour was brimfull of personal, historiif cal, public and domestic reminisences. The life of this great man was one of exemplified truth, purity, and honesty, and the world is being bettered by just such occasions as this, aside from the real personal enjoyment in the contemplation of such a noble life. At the conclusion of the program, various pastimes were indulged in uned til the time came when all were sup- N. plied with a light lap spread which all enjoyed. The elegant and comfortable home of Mr.

and Mrs. Muret was thrown open to the guests and its liberties most fully enjoyed. While somewhat gray, we felt again as child and was admitted as one of the mi. On last Tuesday the home of Mr. and Mrs.

G. N. Hunt was broken into, by a band of suspicious-looking characters, whose intentions savored of the sinister, as the attack was premeditated and the design was the capture. of the entire family. The band was well armed and their arms were loaded; at least so it proved before the conquest was completed.

We very much dislike to make names public until justice has been meted out, but want the public to know with what class of persons they are associating. Of course those living in our OWIE vicinity would not have been guilty of such a bold undertaking, and thatin broad daylight, if they had not beers assisted by some of Winfield's conspicuous characters. But we're goin" to tell on 'em. Their names are as follows; Mr. and Mrs.

W. P. Denny, Mr. and Mrs. S.

J. Hepler of Winfield, Grandma Trout, Mr. and Mrs. W. J.

Hunt and children, Mr, and Mrs. E. Hunt and children, Mr. and Mri. R.

P. Hunt and baby, Mrs. John Lawrence and children, Mrs. Will Files and children and Miss Grace: Byers-in all thirty-eight. As Mr.

and Mrs. G. N. Hunt are preparing to move to western Oklahoma, this was a surprise by their relatives, which accounts for these people being around and their arms being loaded. A sumtuous dinner was spread and the day given to enjoyment.

Mr. and Mrs. Hunt have lived here about thirty years, and enjoy the friendship of a large circle of acquaintances. They have always been lined up on the side of truth and right. They are nembers of the grange, the K.

L. of. S. and the Brethren church, and are in good standing in all these associations. Wherever they may go, they will carry the good wish es of all who have been associated with them here.

This is likely the last reunion of all these relatives this side of the great hereafter; but trusting in "Him who doeth all things well," not only will these meet, but the loved ones gone before will gather with them: around the great white throne.
