Some of the spectatois are still complaining of sore ribs from going into convulsions of laughter over the mule riding contest, staged by Director A. A. Savage. During the evening, the ladies in charge of the eatables knowing the secret of keeping the animal, called man, in good humor, served palatable sandwitches and punch, which seemed to have the punch, tho declared to be strictly within "Volwaltz-quadtill- stead limits.

Those present were Mr. Joseph Wilson and three children. Hazel Calvin and Seth; Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzs Olsen and two children, Mrs. Bert Jensen, Mr. and Mrs. Will Clawson, Mr. A. B. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. O. M. Wilson and daughter Rhoda, Mr. and Mrs. E. J Wilson and grandsons Earl and Dee, Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Israelen and Miss Ruby Curtis. A very pleasant evening was spent in social chat music and games. To complete the deliceou3 entertainment grandma Wilson was asked to relate some of her early pioneer experiences. Said she was born in Caldwell Missouri, Jan. 28, 1839, moved to Illinois, at an early age and saw the Nauvoo Temple. Left Iowa July 4th, 1851; crossed the plains with her parents in ox teams, and arrived in Utah the latter part of Sept, the same year. They settled in Springville. Later the church authorites called her father, Alva Benson and family, to go and help settle Iron county. They lived at that place for seven years. Bro. and Ira Allen built a saw mill while there. Grandma Wilson learned to do' all kinds of house work, also shear sheep, wash pick v j and spin wool, then color, weave and sew her own clothes, and' knit stockings. In 1856 she went to Ogden to visit her sister Lucy. She married John G. Wilson, June 1857; while there her husband was called to go to Echo canyon to help head off Johnsons army, where he worked six months as eook. While he was away grandma helped haul rocks with ox team to line a cellar. She also raised flax, pounded and raked all the bark off and spun and wove tablecloths, and towels out of it. In 1862 they moved to Hyrum where other trials came to them. For five years they with others were pested with grasshoppers destroying their crops. The best plan they found to destroy the grasshoppers was to dig holes and trenches, and drive all they could get in and bury them with dirt. She is the mother of 12 children 7 are living. She has forty grandchildren living, three having died and twenty-on- e great-gran- d child- ren living, one dead. It fell to her lot at the age of 60 years, to raise and care for one of her sons and children who had the sad trial of loosing by death a kind wife and mother. Grandma Wilson has spent a long useful and unselfish life trying to make others happy and is still enjoying good health. She received a few tokens and all left wishing her many happy returns of the day. FREE A Sparkling and Humor.
