A FAMILY REUNION.
Tlie annual reunion of Mr. and
Mrs. E. M. Barnett took place on
June 19th and was one of the most
pleasant and enjoyable occasions,
and sui’passes all former occasions
of this happy family reunion. The
day was very pleasantly spent in
social and pleasant conversations,
while the trend of conversation,
was along the line of pleasure and
the happy incidents that had hap
pened since they met on this for
mer occasion, yet in the hearts of
these dear parents and grandpar
ents, some days of sorrow and sad
ness would creap in, yet when
they realized the fact that the
Lord had so wonderfully blessed
them, their hearts were made to
rejoice and thank the Lord for all
his benefits, and that they had
been spared and let live to see so
many of their offspring gathered
around their hearth stone once
more.
Refreshments were bountifully
served during the forenoon and
finally after patiently waitingly
that welcome call for dinner, was
heard and such a feast was seldom
enjoved. Every thing that heart
could wish, someting to suit every
body's appetite, even to the most
delicate. Every thing was served
in that good old fashion way, from
a long table spread under nice
shade trees in the yard, where
every body had plenty of room
and free access to all parts of the
heavy ladened table ; one only had
to see and partake of the viands to
know that good mother had given
her daughters a thorough and
careful training in the dining room.
Mr. Barnett, has always made
farming his profession, and has
raised a fine lot of sons to be good
upright, honest, and good men,
and are all good and prosperous
farmers, except one who chose
railroading, as his profession and
is now a successful railroad man.
There were present on this oc
casion ten children, and thirty one
grand children, just imagine the
joy and gladness that filled the
hearts of these parents when they
looked upon that happy group of
children and grand children; all
enjoying good health and pros
perity.
In the afternoon the time was
spent in singing songs of praise
and expounding of the scriptures,
bv Rev. Dan Henderson, which
was greatly enjoyed by all present,
and when the time come for the
seperation it was with reluctence
that they all hid each other good
by. All agreed that it was the
most pleasant and happy gather
ing that they had ever held.
This good father and mother
finds it necessary to always keep
God in thier home—how can they
and how can we all afford not to
keep Him, we need His presence in
times of temptation, we need it in
times of prosperity. We need it
in times of perplexity, for it is not
in man that walketli to order his
steps. We need it in times of sick
ness and in times of health in times
of rejoicing, apd in times of sor
row.” We need it when the death
angel hovers near and we stand by
the open grave side to bury our
loved ones out of sight. “We need
it when we our selves draw near
to the end of life’s pilgrimage.”
We wish for Mr, and Mrs. Bar
nett many days and years of health
and prosperity, and that they may
meet their dear children in many
more happy reunions. H. H. G.
