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.
