After a separation of years fhe Brown family, of which our townsman L. A. Brown is a member, met at the old homestead at Akron, Mo., on Octo ber 5th, it being the TQth birthday of the mother, grandmother and great grandmother of the family. This was a remarkable reunion. The father,grand father and great grandfather is 70 years old, they having been married 50 years the ilfth of last May. As it was the busy time of tbe season tbe family wisely concluded to celebrate their mother's birthday for the golden wed ding, In this family there are 7 chil dren, 4 boys and 3 girls, and there has never been a death in tbe family There are 1? grand children and 8 great grandchildren, About September 13 the children began returning to the old homestead, where they all grew to man and womanhood, the father having set tied on the homestead where he now re sides in 1857—43 years ago. One daughter lives in Independence Cal., one son near Seattle, Wash,, and one son in south west Nebraska. The children all went in together and presented their father and mother with one of E. W. Teale's fine dressers, after which, the family, consisting of 4 gener ations, all sat down to the table to gether for the first time in their lives and it is needless to say that they en joyed one of mother's old fashioned diuners, which Mother Brown knows so well how to prepare. The family has spent the last two weeks in visiting around among each other. We hope that their lives may be spared to enjoy many more such reunions. Tbey are all returning to their respective homes, but Father and Mother Brown will never forget this great reun\op.—• Davis City Advance. 3iiiiii:niiiiimi[iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii«iiiiiiiiiii!iiii[iiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiii =tailllll1IIIIMIIIIfllltllllllllltllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIII)fl»llllllllillllliitlllliiiilll||IIIIlllll1llllll||llli|||i||i||||||= JiSjli LEON QUEENSWARE CO.

After a separation of years fhe Brown family, of which our townsman L. A. Brown is a member, met at the old homestead at Akron, Mo., on Octo ber 5th, it being the TQth birthday of the mother, grandmother and great grandmother of the family. This was a remarkable reunion. The father,grand father and great grandfather is 70 years old, they having been married 50 years the ilfth of last May. As it was the busy time of tbe season tbe family wisely concluded to celebrate their mother's birthday for the golden wed ding, In this family there are 7 chil dren, 4 boys and 3 girls, and there has never been a death in tbe family There are 1? grand children and 8 great grandchildren, About September 13 the children began returning to the old homestead, where they all grew to man and womanhood, the father having set tied on the homestead where he now re sides in 1857—43 years ago.

One daughter lives in Independence Cal., one son near Seattle, Wash,, and one son in south west Nebraska.

The children all went in together and presented their father and mother with one of E. W. Teale's fine dressers, after which, the family, consisting of 4 gener ations, all sat down to the table to gether for the first time in their lives and it is needless to say that they en joyed one of mother's old fashioned diuners, which Mother Brown knows so well how to prepare. The family has spent the last two weeks in visiting around among each other. We hope that their lives may be spared to enjoy many more such reunions. Tbey are all returning to their respective homes, but Father and Mother Brown will never forget this great reun\op.—• Davis City Advance.
