. d . 1''- -1 " k. - 1 X - A TIKE LIKI THIS DKMANDS 8TBOXQ MINDS, GBEAT HEARTS. TRUE FAITH AND READY HANDS." - Vol, XXVII. No. 41. KINSLEY, EDWARDS COUNTY. KANSAS, SEPTEMBER 4, 1903. J. M. Lewis, Jr. -X- it. IN THE SOCIAL WHIRL. There was a crowd of people at the river south of town Tuesday evening. .. They went iu three hay-racks, several buggies and automobiles. It was a scheme concocted by . Charlie Hine and Arthur Smart. They are trying to break the agony of leaving home and so subject themselves to all sorts of tortures in order that when the time comes they will be reconciled to go. On this occasion about 70 people were invited to go to the river, carry their supper and eat it on the sand, then sing and dance in the light of the moon until tired nature rebelled and beds became a necessity. The pro gram was successfully carried out and, strange to say, staid and pre sumably sober elders seemed to enjoy the lark as much as the kids.. A pleasant spot was sought just west of the new bridge where a gasoline stove t -was invoked, by the aid of which . coffee was soon ready. In the mean time, the ladies had spread table cloths on the sand on which supper was served to the many guests who found comfortable seats on the rugs surrounding the so-called table. The whole thing seemed a joke, but it was a good 'one and all enjoyed the out ing. Some even went so far as to express a regret that the boys were so soon to leave us. Mrs. Sellers had full charge of the management of the affair and to her is due the credit for the success of the outing. A large party went out to Charlie Piburn's last Saturday night to help . the victims of a surprise party cele brate the tenth anniversary of their wddding. Mrs. Miller was partly re sponsible, as she suggested the idea to Mrs. Ed Wilson and the latter got up the party which embarked in several carryalls, otherwise known as hay-racks,- and left town about eight o'clock for the outward journey. They say that it was their intention when leaving home to be law-abiding citizens but they had such a good time that they just couldn't get away in time to avoid breaking the first day of the week. They promise not to do it again until the Piburn's have . another anniversary which falls on Saturday. Mrs. W. D.
