Good Time Reported with a very
Large Attendance. Young Couple
Married During The Meeting.
Rev. nnd Mr*. Walker returned
Monday from the Epworth league
Institute nt Falla City. They report
an unusually successful Institute thia
year with an attendance of over four
hundred young people. Miaa Anna
Perrson, Bernice Felton, Frieda Bail-
rock and Glenn Felton were delegates
from the Dayton Epworth la-ague.
Rev. Walker was recreational Dir­
ector of the Institute and Mrs. Walk­
er was a member of the Junior In­
stitute Faculty.
Mias Beulah Fanning and Mr. Har­
ley Youngblood, who announced their
engagement at the M. E. parsonage
here some weeks ugo, were married
during the Institute. Mrs. Walker
played the wedding march and Rev.
Walker was best man.
"MIRRi i EN“ H old REUNION
IN DAYTON CITY PARK
Some twelve or more years ugo a
group of Dayton's prominent young
ladies formed themselves into a past­
time club and called themselves thc
"Merry Ten,” which they were in
every respect.
Whenever it was
that the "Merry Ten” had held a
meeting it was commonly known that
something joyful had been accomp­
lished. After they had all married
und gradually drifted apart the com­
munity begun to miss them very much
Sunday was the banner duy, it be­
ing the first time in years that this
club could all be together on thier old
stamping ground, the Dayton City
Park. To say these ladies were
spending one of the happiest time
of their lives would be putting it
mild. Those present were:
Mrs. G. A. Gabriel (.Mabel Howard)
Mrs. E. E. Dill (Petty Dower) Mrs.
Dale Skinner (Grace Howard) Mrs.
C. A. Parker (Ella Gabriel) Mrs.
Elmer Baxter (Hattie Filer) Mrs.
Ray Spangle (Georgia Nichols) Mrs.
A. C. Van Nuys (Tressa Watson) and
Mrs. Ollie Mabee (Eva Darr)
Their husbands were in town on
this day but on request did not at­
tempt to mix in with this meeting.
There were three of the original
group being Misses Gladys und Kitty
Skeela and Nell Hadaway, whose
homes are so far away that they were
not able to be present with their lov­
ing sisters on Ulis occasion. Many
people here reading of this re-union
will sadly regret they were not privi­
leged to meet them personally. There
was some talk of making this an an­
nual event which is hoped can be
done.

The Board of County Commission­

be done on the McMinnville highway.
Commencing at the Dayton bridge
just this side of McMinnville and
running up to the "Y” above the S.
P. depot, considerable work will soon
be made on this strip of highway.
A few years ago Yamhill County
paved this section of highway, a dis­
tance of nearly eight miles, nnd it is
expected within the near future that
work will soon be started to fill
up the cracks with asphalt and oth -r
temporary repairs made until fall
when more substantial concrete will
be used to fill up the holes.
