Miss Lou WATTS took the noon train Tuesday, accompanied by her brother Frank as far as Lincoln, for Harlington, Neb., where she expects to spend the summer with her sister. It would be worth while for the ladies to bear in mind that if they take a gentle course of Ayer's Sarsaparilla (sic) in the spring, they will have no trouble with "prickly heat", "hives," "sties," boils," or "black heads," when summer comes. Prevention is better than cure. Surprise. A few of the young people decided late Wednesday evening to give Miss Mamie KENTNER a surprise. They met about 6 o'clock at Mr. DORWART's and proceeded to Miss KENTNER's home, where she was unconscious of the crowd of merry friends coming to take possession of her home. To say that she was surprised would be putting in (sic) mildly, she was completely "done up." Everyone was in a good humor and the hours passed swiftly by. The evening was spent in card playing and tripping the light fantastic. The gentlemen present with that well known gallantry of the Friend young men furnished the refreshments, consisting of ice cream and stawberries. The party broke up at a late hour and all departed feeling that it was good to be sociable.

Sixtieth Anniversary The friends and members of the Congregational church gave a reception at the church on Tuesday evening, April 11th 1893 in honor of the 60th birthday of the pastor, Rev. E. P. DADA. Friends began to arrive about 5 p.m. and Mr. DADA was there to meet them and tell them that supper was all ready, they kept on coming and as soon as they had eaten supper would join the rest of the crowd and a good sociable time was the order. Although 60 years of age, the way Mr. Dada got around among the people and shook them by the hand was astonishing. He always did claim to be one of the young folks though and he looked it on this occasion. The choir sang a few nice songs during the evening and the band came in and played a couple of selections, all of which served to entertain those present. At 9 o'clock Rev. JOHNSON of the M.E. church, arose and made a few remarks upone a few of the important events of the early life of Mr. Dada and closed by presenting to him on behalf of his friends with a purse of $42. At the same time reminding him that money was the root of all evil and that he had better be careful with it. Mr. Dada responded to his remarks in his usual jolly manner, thanking his friends for their token esteem. The splendid supper prepared by the ladies lasted during the whole evening and was pronounced a grand success by all present. The friends separated to go to their respective homes about 9:30. Mr. Dada will long remember this event not only as testimony of the appreciation and esteem in which he is held by the people, but as an evidence of the true feeling which exists between the friends and members of the church and their Pastor. ----- Copyright © 2006 Teri Fisher Permission to Saline Co., NEGenWeb Project
