Some of the re latives living at a considerable distance were late arriving. Notwithstanding the fact that some of the children and their families were absent the number present was eighty-seven. All seemed to enjoy them selves very much in conversa tion and in the singing of sweet songs. About 1.30 o'clock baskets were brought from various bug gies and dinner was spread on a long table under a large oak. After grace by Rev. Johnson Sheriff all proceeded to do justice to the many good things found on the table. About 3 o'clock all assembled in the house and listened to a short but very impressive ser mon by Rev. Johnson Sheriff from the text "The end of all things is at hand."
