THE CLASS OF '85

Holds Twenty-fifth Anniversary Reunion Wednesday Evening.

Mr. and Mrs. J.E. McNALLY entertained the class of 1885 of the Dunlap High School to a seven o'clock dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. ROGERS on the evening of August 31, 1910.

At the arrival of the guests punch was served in the alcove of the hall. Following this Mrs. Effie CHAPMAN, accompanied by Mrs.Lena PETERS, pianist, in her own pleasing way, sang 'Some Day I'll Wander Back Again,' which was thoroughly appreciated by all.

The guests then repaired to the dining room where they were served to an elegant three course dinner by Mrs. E.L. ROGERS and RuthMcNALLY, while Frances McNALLY presided at the piano. After dinner the evening was passed in recalling memories of old school.

A.H. SNIFF of Missouri Valley, who was Superintendent of the Dunlap High School at that time, addressed the 'Children' telling with what pride he views this class as among his children, and theirs' as his grand children, who have reached the good on the top round of the ladder of life.

Ed CHILD royally entertained them with an old reminiscence in the form of a reading-The Man in Lower No. 3.

Alice ARCHER WIGHT, also came forward with a reading, 'Edinburg After Fodden.' Following this they were favored with the class song, 'Our Boat is Launched, Where is the Shore? by members of the class. Carl and Frank being too reticent to loan their voices in song kept in the rear with their silent maneuvers, which were equally as entertaining.

A vote of thanks was offered by the company, to Mrs. McNALLY for the thoughtfulness of entertaining them at the twenty-fifth anniversary. After this Mrs. CHAPMAN sang 'Gently Down the Stream of Time.

Mr. and Mrs. SNIFF, and members of the class of 1885, presented the hostess with a beautiful set of solid silver spoons, handsomely engraved with the name of the donors. After a few endearing remarks the company joined in singing 'Auld Lang Syne,' and departed to their homes, hoping to meet again in as buoyant spirits ere the lapse of another twenty-five years.

Those present were A.H. SNIFF, and wife, of Missouri Valley; Alice ARCHER WIGHT, Payette, Idaho; Ana JACKSON PRESTON, Des Moines; Minnie McELROY SMALL, Salix; Anna Wright McNALLY, of this city; Frank DEWEY, Des Moines; and Carl VanSLYKE.

We would add that this class contained eight members, four girls and four boys; all but two being present. George BRACE, of Menomonee, Wisconsin, being unavoidably detained; and Bert VanSLYKE, who years ago met with an untimely death.

On account of the shut off in the drain leading to the reservoir being closed as the city pumper started the engine last Sunday, the top plate of the pump cylinder was blown off and badly broken, so a new one will have to be ordered. In the meantime, the city is without water either for fire protection or household use-Moorhead Times.

E.C. BRIGGS, who lives at the head of Elk Creek, was returning from town Friday evening when the mule team he was driving ran away as he nearly home, tipping the wagon load of lumber over onto Mr. BRIGGS and seriously injuring him. With the help of neighbors he was taken home and a doctor called, who found a broken shoulder and a number of broken ribs, besides other interior injuries. The patient is in a very serious condition but it is thought he will ultimately recover-Moorhead Times.

Hereafter Harlan will have but two newspapers. The Harlan American founded July 16, 1887, as an organ of the people's party, has lately been sold to G.S. TURRILL, of Jefferson. Mr. TURRILL Tuesday sold the paper, including its subscription list and good will, to BROWN & MEEK, of the Shelby County Democrat and the Tribune Publishing Company, composed of W.C. and Hal W. CAMPBELL, who will discontinue the publication of the American. The deal was made at the request of nearly all the businessmen of the city.
