From the luncheon the guests and crowd continued to the Jackson county court house grounds, where a cedar of Lebanon, donated by N.

The pioneers, who received cor sages and boutonuiers in honor of the occasion were Introduced by A t torney Reames, who also honored several, who were unable to be pres ent. among them Mrs. Kate Hoffman of Jacksonville, Henry Vincent and B. F. Irvine, editor of the Portland Journal. A message was sent to the latter, addressing him as “ the Sage of Jackass Creek,” voicing a special Invitation to himself and Mrs. Irvine to attend the Diamond Jubilee here.
