II LARGE FARE
WELL RECEPIli
Tendered Residents of Murray,
Who Will Take Up Their
Abode in Other Climes.
Wednesday Murray was the scene
and the Presbyterian church was the
place of one of the most pleasant
events that ever occurred in this vil
lage. The occasion was a farewell
reception to four of the most highly
respected families in the vicinity of
Murray. The heads of the families
are all prominent members of the
church and the affair was engineered
by the ladles of this society to de
monstrate the high esteem in which
these excellent people were held by
the community. There was a large
crowd of their friends present and
the event was one long to be remem
bered by those in whose honor it
was tendered, and great feeling of
deep regret of the removal of these
good people .was very manifest.
The families, in whose honor this
manifestation of friendship was given
are as follows: John H. Spangler and
family and Val Gobleman and family
who will remove to South Dakota;
Frank Young Jr.,. and family will re
move to Minnesota, while Lee Farris
and family will for the present take
up their abode near Union for next
season and then remove to Oklahoma,
where Mr. Farris owns a farm.
These families have resided in Cass
county for many years and have al
ways borne the confidence and res
pect of all who have known them.
Mr. Young's father came to Cass
county when he was a bit of a boy,
and he has resided in this vicinity
for fifty-five years; John H. Spang
ler was born and reared in the coun
ty and his parents were among the
early pioneers, and among the highly
respected and John has never devi
ated from those teachings of his grand
old mother and father. While Mr.
Gobleman and Mr. FarrU have not
been residents of the vicinity as long
as the two former, it can be said
to their cerdlt that they have resid
ed here long enough and their every
day acts have been such as to merit
the high esteem in which the com
munity hold them.
It is any wonder that such a mag
nificent demonstration was tendered
In their honor. Every community
regrets the removal of such good citi
zens, and the ladles of the Presby
terian church did themselves proud
In thus displaying the good will they
held toward them. In fact it was an
event which In the heart! of those de
parting citizens was keenly felt
that they were leaving many good and
dear friends behind them. It ap
peared to the writer that these gen
tlemen and their famlllles felt deep
ly that they were taking a farewell
from a community that would be hard
to replace.
The ladies of the church assembled
at the edlflco at an early hour to
prepare for the occasion, and when
everything was in readiness for the
lunch, the sound of the bell told
them that the dining hour had ar
rived, and the male portion began
to assemble in the parlors of the
church, where tables were arranged
for the guests, and where refresh
ments were ready to serve. The
writer was among the flrBt who was
served by the dainty hands of some
of the handsomest and most pleas
ant entertaining ladies In the land.
They were not all married ladies;
neither were they all single ladies.
But the waiters wore made up of
ladies who were determined that all
should be served alike and no one
should go away hungry. We are
proud of Murray, and we are proud
to bo numbered among the friends of
those people, and especially the lad
ies, of course, of the, Presbyterian
church, who on this occasion treated
the writer bo nicely at this banquet.
May they live to a ripe old age, and
to the young ladles, may they live
to enjoy the fruits of this life, but
never live the life of old maids, be
cause tney desire a brighter and hap
pier future.
The afternoon was spent in social
ways, In conversation, music, etc., and
It was with considerable regret when
the parting hour arrived, the fare
well taken froth the worthy families
who are to leave us soon. No person
can regret the removal of these ex
cellent families more than the Jour
nal, because they aro all our friends,
and we can assure Messrs. Young,
Spangler, Gobleman and Farris, and
and Terry Cloth!

Harry's Twentieth Anniversary.
Harry Gobelman, son of Val Goble
man, celebrated his 20th anniversary
last Monday night, and he didn't do
it alone, either. ' About forty guests
were present, most of whom were
young people. It's needless to say
that a general good time was enjoyed.
It" was impossible for us to secure a
list of those present. At the proper
hour a sumptuous repast was served,
which was delightfully relished by
all. The Journal joins Harry's many
frlend3 In the hope that he may live
to enjoy many more such pleasant
events.

DOING GOOD!
There are undoubtedly a
lot of men who haven't yet
discovered that they've
been missing for years the
best value in clothes, by
neglecting to wear our
HART, SCHAFFNER S
fine suits and overcoats;
they don't know how good
the e clothes are by actual
experience.
We're doing good to a lot
of such men by this special
"CLEAN UP" of ours;
we're making such price
attractions that they're
saying: "That looks pret
ty good to me; guess I'll
have a look at it." And
when they see such values
as these selling at such
prices as these that settles
it. They get into the clothes
and get. the experience of
wearing them; and that
settles it again; any man
who doesn't know Hart,
