A crowded column from Brookhaven reports social visits, illnesses, and commerce. Highlights include Mrs. T. Rinls visiting, Miss Mary McCloskey resuming her school, and Col. Read seeking health recovery. Local grafts note a freight rate drop, Prohibition plans, and a Dickens party at Henck’s Hall with mixed amusements. Missing details: several names, places, and exact dates scattered through the item.
The narrative describes a Brookhaven County gathering with a picnic day trip to the Latte tell grounds. It notes arrivals, weather, dancing at Mr Carence Shaw's, a Jeffersonian dance, a grand supper at Mrs Shaw, and a late return home. It mentions Miss Glan ding and Whitworth College ties, with joyous though drenched travel and social hospitality.
