FAMILY REUNION.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. S. V. BAILEY was the scene of a happy reunion Sunday. For the first time in sixteen years the family of eight children were all at home, and as might be expected they enjoyed a good, old fashioned housewarming. The children consist of two sons and six daughters: Earl D., Tulsa; I. T. VAUGN, Mrs. Frankie BRAND, Mrs. George KELLEY, Mrs. Carrie MOORE and Mrs. Clara MCELROY, Lamoni; Mrs. Ellis SHORT and Eva M., Independence, Mo. Mr. SHORT, Mr. MCELROY and eight grandchildren were also present. A very pleasant day was spent. The opportunity for a family group was not permitted to pass unimproved, and all will have a group picture of the family, the first one ever taken. Mr.and Mrs. BAILEY have raised a large and fine family, of which they are justly proud.
