Meints and daughters, Fannie and Margaret, were callers at the Frank Bohlken home. Friday. Rambler and family excepting our son, Cecil, attended the east Mt. Zion picnic Wednesday, which was held in the Wm. Henderson grove. There was one of the largest crowds that had been there for years and in our “Rambling around” (at noon) it would be almost an impossibility to be at a picnic where there was as many good things to eat. If anyone went home hungry they must have been devilish bashful. The Mulberry Hay-Seed Band furnished the music and were at their very best as so many of the bachelor boys realized that next year was “‘Leap Year’’ and were building great hopes for the picnic in 1912. Supt. M. U. Barker of the east Mt. Zion Sunday school had charge of the program. The schools that took part in the program were the Excelsior, Boicourt, Trading Post, Mulberry, the Baptist from Amsterdam, both the Christian and United Presbyterian of Amoret and the home school. The exercises were the best ever given at this place and consisted of recita- tions, readings, drills, singing by the different schools, also quartets and duets. At the close of the program the Amoret junior ball boys and the Pumpkin Rooter ‘“‘men”’ had a match game and played a tie game but the little boys were entitled to the game as the Rooters had to change players and had some of the best players that could be picked up. Asa whole this was one of the days long to be re- membered by those that attended. Robert L. Braden and wife of But- ler visited at the Mrs. L. M. Braden home Thursday and Friday. Mrs. J. H, Leiner and Miss Anna Weimers were guests at the Tom Schmel home Friday. Little Harlene Elizabeth Porter and her mother were callers on little Miss Dorothy Hall and her mother in Amoret Tuesday. These little misses let their mammas do all the talking. At the close of the visit there was a weighing match with an almost even break. Thursday the friends and neighbors cleaned up the Mulberry cemetery. The day was warm but the ladies came along and had a dinner at the church waiting for the men at noon. The men soon forgot the weather con- ditions, as they usually do when a good feast is spread before them. Mrs. Ecke Taute and daughter, Tena, left Friday for Golden, Ill., for a month’s visit with her parents and other relatives in the sucker state. Mrs. J. C.

This was our first work for Uncle Sam. There are some small bridges that are in a very good shape. The road overseer over in Charlotte had been doing some good work.
