yesterday held their annual reunion in a
picturesque grove on “Uncle” Peter’s farm
and succeeded in having a delightful day
of it.
Uncle Peter and his hired man were up
with the dawn and finished their chores
before a 6-o’clock breakfast. By 9 they
had rigged up benches and tables in the
grove and had the American flag flying
from a staff' which marks the site of the
first Smith’s log cabin. Then Uncle Peter
went to the house, put on a boiled shirt
and his go-to-meetin’ trousers, and re
turned to the grove in his shirt-sleeves just
in time to receive Peter Smith and his
family, of Smith’s Cross-roads. They

A few months ago the firm of Dixon &

riah Smith, of Smith’s Corners: Cornelius
Smith, of Smith’s Hollow; Jacob Smith, of
Smith’s Hills; John Smith, of Smith Creek,
and many others.There were fat Smiths aud
lean Smiths, blacksmiths and tinsmiths,
little Smiths and big Smiths, pretty Smiths
and ugly Smiths. They came in all kinds
of vehicles and from every direction, till
the grove was one mass of living Smiths
and the roadway without a tangle of horses
and vehicles. Some of the family groups
passed on the winding, hilly highway were
picturesque in the extreme. One rickety
Farm wagon carried a load of ten persons.
The father and two sons sat on the front
seat and four little girls, apparently sisters,
came next, while on the rear seat was a
mamma, an infant and a grandma. There
were old men with scraggy whiskers fram
ing their faces, who rode beside old ladies
with ironbowed spectacles and antique
sun-bonnets, all dressed, like the younger
folks, in their Sunday best aud bent on
having a good time.
While yet the clan was gathering the
Smith Family Band arrived on the scene,
Ichabod Smith acting as drum-major.
They marched into the grove to the air of
“Yankee Doodle.” The Smiths went wild
over the music, while aged steeds, accus
tomed to nothing more classic than the
ploughboy’s whistle, arched their necks
