Village Happenings: Webster

The young people of Webster spent the last evening in September in a very pleasant manner by giving the pastor, Rev. Q. E. and Mrs. Morebouse a surprise. About  30 young people with the orchestra succeeded in assembling unseen and unexpected on the lawn by the front door of the personae. The orohestra played a selection which evidently informed the inmates that visitors were present as the door immediately opened and an invitation was given to enter.

After the usual greetings several brief speeches were delivered, expressing the general appreciation of the pastor's services among the young people and assuring him that they had been greatly helped by bis wise counsels, and manly conduct during his residence among them. Several games were indulged in, and singing and music by orchestra. Then well laden baskets were emptied and a bountiful repast was enjoyed, after which our pastor sang a solo in fine style and he and Mrs. Morebouse sang a duet in their usual good taste.
