About forty of the boys who went
out with Ashland's old First Com

together for. an Informal reunion and
dinner Saturday night. At the close
of the parade In which they partici
pated on the Fourth the ooys de

old bunch for the celebration pro
vided too good an opportunity for a
real feed to be passed up and de
cided on a' "Dutch Treat" dinner.

and negotiations were entered into
with A. L. Lamb with the result
that a dinner which was regarded
as "some swell chow" was Set for
them Saturday evening in the build
ing at the corner of Pioneer and
Main.
C. W. Winne, who has been In
formally adopted by the Company as
one of themselves, furnished a loud-
tooting horn to each plate and more
than enough good cigars. He then
disappeared much to the disappoint-j
ment of the boys.
After making a most thoro clean

with much racket and merry niak

out to help along the celebration.
The good-natured traffic, policeman
at the corners didn't mind being car
ried' off the streets by the boys, the
dancers at some of the Jazz affalrb
gave them a chance to whoop it up
a bit and the people in the park more
than enjoyed their serpentine and
songs. Altogether It was some little
evening. One or two strangers al
most got In the way of the hand-
wagon but applauded with the rest
when theofound out who it was.
The First Company expects to
maintain their organization for pur
