It was a happy gathering of brothers and sisters, uncles, aunts and cousins and their families, who perhaps has never all been together before. The occasion was made all the happier by the presence of Andrew Lynes, of Ada, Minn., who had not had the pleasure of being with his relations for quite some time. A program was presented for the occasion, and consisted of recitations, instrumental and vocal solos, and music by the Lynes orchestra. It was a most enjoyable day for all present, and will long linger in their memories and bring back many pleasant recollections.
