Rev. O.A. Britton of Superior came Wednesday as one of the speakers at the reunion and to visit old friends. He was pastor of the M.E. church a number of years ago and he found many friends to greet him on this his first return to Spencer.

The "Reunion" is now a thing of the past and we feel that it was a success. Although we were disappointed in our efforts to secure any militia, and some things night have been bettered, yet we feel very well satisfied, and the way the citizens of the village and surrounding country came to the front and assisted was good and duly appreciated by the G.A.R. and W.R.C. Also, much gratitude is felt toward Capt. J.W. Tolford of Neillsville and the Baker Drum Corps of Loyal for the very able assistance they gave. A detailed account of the whole affair will be found elsewhere in this issue.

The Loyal ball team came over here Sunday with the express intention of doing up the Spencer first nine to a finish, and that their friends might see how nicely it was done, they were invited to come over with them. Yes, and they brought "their goods right along with them to do it" but, sad to relate, some of their goods must have been damaged - at any rate, compared with Spencer, they did not show up to the mark as expected. When the game was finished the score stood 13 to 6 in favor of Spencer. One of the Loyal enthusiasts, who was going to board over here a week to guy the Spencer boys, did not even stay for lunch, such was the difference in his feelings before and after taking. Of course this is a continued story, and like all such stories, the mystery clothing the last chapter makes it all the more fascinating.
