| The Independent Patriot Lamoni, Decatur County, Iowa June 29, 1905 About twenty-five Lamoni people participated in a pleasant surprise at Mt. Ayr, Tuesday. The affair was in charge of the survivors of the old Social Club, and was in honor of one of its old members, Mrs. Bert TEALE, now residing with her husband at Mt. Ayr. Taking the morning train, 6:9, and will-filled baskets, the party departed for their destination, bent on a good time; and they had it, too. There was no question about is being a surprise. But Mrs. TEALE soon rallied, cleared away the breakfast dishes, and, with the help of Mr. TEALE and Verne, proceeded to take care of the party. Mr. and Mrs. TEALE are known here as royal entertainers and their residence in Mt. Ayr seems to have in no way detracted from their aptness in that line. Dinner and supper were alike enjoyed upon the lawn, about thirty being seated upon each occasion. And the happy hours passed swiftly in "Do you remembers," "Have you forgottens," and "Isn't it just lovelies," etc. In the afternoon Mr. TEALE engaged rigs and took the entire party driving. This proved one of the most pleasing features of the day. A visit to the Mayor's office was the occasion of no little mirth and comment. It is reported that none of the party were fined, however. On the evening train the band returned, tired but happy, long to cherish the remembrance of this another day of the "Social Club." Those of the party were:; Mr. and Mrs. J. R. SMITH Mrs. W. H. GRAHAM Mr. and Mrs. J. W. SMITH Mrs. D. F. LAMBERT " J. F. HOPKINS " T. J. SMITH and Wayne " Dr. MOORE " Otis WHITE and Roland " W. A. HOPKINS " Dwight DAVIS & Walker " W. A. GRENAWALT & Ruth " C. F. SMITH & Maud " F. NEWCOMB & Harriet " W. W. SCOTT " O. J. LAWHORN & Marjorie " D. F. NICHOLSON & Gracia Mrs. George BLAIR, Kellerton Mrs. Arthur SMITH Mrs. Fred TEALE, Leon.
