Interesting Items Gathered
From A ll i arts of the State.

?
Entertains Dallas Widows.
Dallna— A dinner this year that
will far surpass the one he gave In
1907 to celebrate bis 83d birthday,
when he entertained all the widows
of Dallas, is promised for his 84th
anniversary by Uncle Billy (W C.)
Brown.
The great day comes on
November 3 0, and already Dallas ls
a-flutter over the event.
Not only Dallas widows, but all
the widows In town are to participate
in this next festival. That Isn’t all.
The widower who marries first will
be presented with a hickory cane.
Uncle Billy is a widower himself.
From all over the state they wrote
him last year asking invitations to
the dinner.
Many of them seemed
to think it was a scheme of Uncle
Billy to get the pick of the state's
widows together, then select one
from among them for himself. They
were disappointed. No matter what
their charms, the festival was held
down to Dallas residents. Some of
them did not want to wait for the
dinner— they offered Uncle Billy
their hearts and hands right there.
These were the letters that did not
please the old man, for he hates to
have the motive of his dinner mis
understood.
Milwaukee Man Misslnng.
Milwaukee— Friends are unable to
explain the mysterious disappearance
of James H. Reid, ex-frult commis
sioner and one of the best known
horticulturists of the state, who left
his home at Milwaukee, Or., October
16, and so far as can be learned,
has not been seen since that time.
Strict secrecy has been maintained
by his friends since his disappear
ance, and at his home no explana
tion is offered.
Residents of Milwaukee, who say
they know the secret connected with
his disappearance, declare that fi
nancial and domestic troubles are
largely responsible for the mysteri
ous absence of Mr, Reid.
Before his appointment as fruit

having served in the Philippines,
where he was wounded. His record
as fruit inspector is said to have bean
an excellent one and he was regarded
as one of the best Informed men la
