It was to have been an out door meeting, but before its con clusion the participants were forced to seek shelter in the Timm home, being frowned upon by the weather with the delivery of a sprinkling of rain. Several members of long standing now living in other parts of the val ley were present. Mrs. W. M.

The Everett Brown family, Wayne and Lucile Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Myers. Fred Smith and Miss Grace Bigham were among those attending a farewell party last Monday eve ning at Jackson Hot springs for the Tisdel family, soon to be leaving for Texas. Mr. Tisdel has been pastor of the West Side Church of Christ for a number of years. Carl Vanderpool and Wayne Wyatt, members of the local Sun day school, recently gave the school grounds a good cleaning, removing and burning rubbish and mowing the weeds and grass. We are sorry to report that H. W. Davisson was taken to the Sacred Heart hospital last Wednesday and is at present quite ill with a stomach ailment. Last Sunday we attended the birthday anniversary party for Mrs. Olive Dean at the old Dean home in the Willow Springs dis trict. In the yard we saw a small monument telling of the Dean family settling on this farm back in 1851. It seems to us quite a distinction for a family to have kept the same farm for more than 100 years with some mem ber living on it during all of this time. They must have paid a lot of taxes, been good citizens and an asset to the community or they would have worn their welcome out long before this. We met many old timers at the party that we seldom see, only on such occasions, and con versations brought back to mind many incidents of happenings of long ago, some sad, but others quite amusing. Among those we met was Jess Glass, an old time playmate, which reminded us of the time Jess worked as water boy for the Glass grain threshing outfit belonging to his brothers where he was supposed to keep a fresh supply of water on tap for the cook house and the 17-man crew. The water system consisted of a 50-gallon barrel mounted on a two-wheel cart drawn by two horses, and was some task to fill Young folks just starting out this month (and Jorgen sen's extend to them sincere congratulations) wiU find that DAIRY FOODS are most important in every family diet. They'll learn, too, that when they ask for "Jorgensen's" they get the very finest from Jorgensen's big spic-and-span sanitary dairy. There's luscious FIESTA ICE CREAM, rich, nutritious milk including ALL JERSEY, cream, buttermilk, butter, rnHina rlioeto evervthina that's reallv GOOD in dairy products. By the way, June is DAIRY MONTH. Bunday, June 17, 1958 The population of the U.S. has reached 167 million. In five years it should be 178 million and in ten years, 190 million. By 1975, there will be more than 221 million people in America. from a pitcher pump, or the old oaken bucket. One day Jess had driven down with his water cart and we had played around until we discovered it was nearly noon and no drinking water for the cook and crew. From where we were the river was the nearest source of water so we made for it, Jess urging the horses to a fast trot. When we got there we thought we could speed things up even more by pulling out the plug and driving into the stream, but when getting into deeper water, the barrel began to float, so one of us straddled it and we soon had a supply of water, such as it was. Later we heard that some of the crew claimed that there was something wrong with the water, and raised a stink about it. We asked Jess how he came out on the water deal, but he claimed he didn't remember it. Another incident that was hashed over by old timers was the hilarious party held by some of the men when Colonel Ross started to do an Indian war dance, but didn't have a war bonnet, so grabbed a cooking pot and pulled it over his head, but found when the dance was over the pot had wedged on his head and couldn't be removed, so one of his fellow dancers had to take him to a blacksmith in Jackson ville to get his head free.
