'KELLERTON BOOSTERS WERE HERE'

Ten automobiles filled with boosters from Kellerton visited Leon last
Thursday just before noon. The party was out advertising their big reunion
which is to be held August 7, 8 and 9. The Kellerton people arrived shortly
after 11 o'clock and were accompanied by the Kellerton band, a splendid
musical organization. Immediately after the arrival of the party, the band
began playing a concert and other boosters were soon out shaking hands with
Leon friends, and distributing reunion advertising matter. The Kellerton
party departed from kellerton Thursday morning about nine o'clock, stopping
first at Lamoni, then Davis City and Leon. From Leon the autoists went on
to Decatur, Grand River, Beaconsfield, Ellston, Tingley, Mt. Ayr and then
back home.

The Kellerton reunion promises to be the best this year that the people of
that place have ever held. They are going to have good bands, fine ball
games, good speaking and lots of free attractions. George W. Clarke,
republican candidate for governor, will be one of the speakers.
