The reunion last week was a
decided success in point of at-
tendanoe, especially was there a
large crowd Saturday—Farmers'
Union day. The entertainment
furnished visitors at the grounds
was not, however, what it should
have been in point of variety and
interest.
The principal features of the
Reunion was public speaking,
and some very good talks were
made. Hon. B. 8. MoGuire and
Senator Hickam were here the
first day. Attorney Fulton and
J. J. Thompson of Oklahoma city
on the second and C. C. Worrell
of Shawnee on the third day.
The Perkins ladies band fur-
nished plenty of good music each
day.
Confetti battles in the evenings
furnished the young people and
some „ older ones considerable
amusement.
Another ysar we hope our peo-
ple will do better in the matter of
furnishing attractions for a like
occasion.
