Dakota (.uimly HornUli Dakota City, Nobtfauka in mi nmmii i 4000 People Attend Old Settlers' Picnic Perfect weather conditions last Thursday assisted materially in mak ing the 39th annual reunion and pic nic of the Pioneers and Old Settlers one of the largest and best in the hlslory of the association. Heed's military band of Sioux City v,"as on hand at an early hour and discoursed music for the gathering Ihrong, and by noon the pari: was comfortably filled. The program began after the noon '.hour, when President S. A. Combs nnade his welcome address to the as sembled gathering. In making the welcome address to ,the pioneers and old settlers Mr. S. A. Combs, president of the associa tion, spoke in part as follows: "Tho .pioneers settled here in 18GG Jind 18C), and then came tho Civil war. As soon as the war ended there was a grand rush to Nebraska, South Dakota, Kansas and Western Iowa. Those immigrants were the boys and girls of G1 and '72. We soon found out that this was n good country to itick to. Those of us who were not married went right back and got our jiwoethearts, and we made no mis take, for the girls were as well pleased with tho country as we were. It is due to the early settlers that Ave are now able to have all the lux uries to be had in any country. There has been a good deal said shout the suffering of those days. I never saw it. We did not have pie and cake and ice cream every day, but we had as good as our neighbors. "Vc did not have as good clothes as We do now, but we had as good as anybody and we were just as full of U 'pep' as you youngsters of today. 'I here was talk as early us 18GD of an old settlers' association, but it did not start until August 20, 1882,' when n meeting was called in Homei. The men who were at that meeting, were George T. Woods, A. II. linker, Thomas Ashford, sr.. Capt Cornelius O'Connor, William Nixon, Henry Ream, Col. J. F. Warner, .J. W. Davis, M. S. Mansfield, sr., J. 0. Fisher, Den nis Armour, John Draunt, Dennis Dug gan, Joseph Brannan, Gen. Joseph Hollman, E. L. Wilbur, William Fra zer, Herb Harris, Thomas Smith and M. M. Warner, who was chosen secre tary. All of those men have passed on except Mr. Warner. Less than a month from the first meeting we had our first annual re union, September 23, 1882. The ad dress of welcome was made by Gen. Joseph Hollman. Col. .1. !'. Warner was then introduced and spoke of tin. very lir.st settlers and the rapid growth of the county to date. Up to the fifth meeting we had not named our corresponding secretary. At this meeting Sam A. Combs ofTered a resolution that the society elect a permanent historian, whose duty it shall be to write biographical sketch es of. members. Our present faith ful historian, M.'M. Warner, was se lected and is witn us today. Several years ago when I noticed how rapidly the ranks were thinning it made me feel bad, but tho interest is as strong as ever and the pioneers and old settlers' day has become a fixed day for Dakota county and I feel it more today than ever n new generation is here to take tradition and keep this day continually from year to year, for we are making his tory as fast as ever and future gen erations will read and wonder and, I hope, strive to do even better. There are a few things I want to say, and 1 guess I will take the plunge. For j ears I thought the G. A. U. was all foolishness They got together and t.n and wife and Art Williams re tailed war, but the pioneers nnd old turned from a fishing trip in Minne settlers have taken that all out ofj.0tn Friday. mo nnd I like to meet them and talk i Chas, Holsworth and daughters and over carlv times.

I think, do not get all the hon or thev should. They made tho north and south one to go into the world's war solid, for other nations thought we would not fight, but the lioya o 1898 made them take notice. And the world war veterans arc with us today, and today we are looked up to by other nations. We taught the fellows over there some things, and now I say, 'Hoys, it is up to you to keep it up. Do not let up. See that none but Ameri cans are on guard. It does not mat ter from what country they come so long as they are Americans.' It was an American who first took the strrs and 'stripes to the very top at Verdun, got a Hag, run the stock in his gun. Poor fellow! he paid the penalty, but he did his duty as an American. Who was the officer who marched his men in the mud 120 miles in four days and just got to Chateau-Thierry? He rushed up to the commanding olHcer and said. 'What are the orders?' The answer came, 'Retreat!' The American of ficer said, 'Kotreat, hell! we just got here.' He turned in and commenced to fight, and they didn't stop, but the Huns retreated. Tnlk it over, boys. Do not forget, it does not matter from what coun try they come, their religion or their politics, but .see to it that they are true olue Americans or else turn them down. In 1882 Sioux City had n popula tion of 13,000. Today she has aboui 900,000. When I came in 18fi8 Sioux City had only one railroad, the Sioux City and Pacific. Dakota county had none. All due to those early pion eers of Dakota county and Sioux City, and I feel, and so do the older citi zens of Sioux City, that we are one for ad anccment. He was followed by Harry D. Lute, secretary of the Nebraska Farm Uu reau Federation, who made a very interesting address, especially to the farmers, who predominated at the picnic.
