Friday, 27 June 1919, Vol 33. No 10--Jas. W. Burton, who was dangerously injured in an auto accident at Majove, Cal., as was Mrs. Burton, on starting to Missouri in their car, and who, with Mrs. Burton, has been visiting at the home of the latter's sister, Mrs. R. E. Sherman of Wichita, Kans. for several weeks, arrived yesterday in advance of Mrs. Burton, to make arrangements for the funeral and burial of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Wm. Embree, who died at the Sherman home Wednesday, an account of which appears elsewhere. Mr. Burton had a very narrow escape in the accident, having his left breast crushed and his right shoulder broken, and is yet unable to use his right arm to any extent. For all the years he has been away, he has changed very little in appearance, and his legion of old friends have no trouble in recognizing him about as far as they can see him. He will spend several weeks, with his mother, Mrs. Mary Burton, and other relatives. Friday, 27 June 1919, Vol 33.

The day was most pleasantly spent by all and the dinner consisting of about everything one could wish for, was fit for a king. At a late hour the guests, about 75 in number, reluctantly departed.

Friday, 27 June 1919, Vol 33. No 10--A GREAT OCCASION--Perhaps the greatest thing in the way of a dinner ever held in this vicinity, was that given Sunday on the Moniteau near the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Duffield in honor of their sons, Arthur, Brownie and Elvie, who went through the big war and who arrived home safe and sound two weeks ago. The Sunday before Mr. and Mrs. Duffield tendered them a dinner to which only the immediate relatives were invited, but felt so happy over the safe return of their boys that they planned, with relatives, who were as happy as they, the dinner of last Sunday, and invited all who would come, and some 200 or more accepted the invitation most gladly. And such a dinner! Boiled ham, fried ham, fried chicken and barbecued beef filled platters everywhere, a prize yearling having been slaughtered especially for the occasion. Salads and pickles were as abundant, and of an endless variety, while the pastry section, from the stacks and stacks of pies and the dozens and dozens of cakes, made it appear as if the good women had put in the full week baking night and day. It was the general opinion of all that it was the best dinner of the kind they had ever had the pleasure of attending. While the dinner was an immense success and was thoroughly enjoyed by all, the most enjoyable thing was the knowledge that the boys had helped put an everlasting crimp in the Hun, and that they were home again, safe and sound, with their parents, whose long days and nights of suspense were over, and the happy and reunited family received the warmest congratulations, and compliments on and thanks for the great dinner. Several short addresses were made, the chief talks being by Rev. W. C. Pitney and Edmund Burke. Threatening rain dispersed the crowd about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, where all departed feeling that it was good to have been there, after again thanking Mr. and Mrs. Duffield for the most enjoyable occasion. Friday, 27 June 1919, Vol 33. No 10--WILLIAMS-EDWARDS--Miss Julia Edwards, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Edwards of near town, and one of the community's sweetest and most lovable young ladies, as well as one of the most capable, left Tuesday over the Alton for Louisville, Ky., in which city she was married the following morning to Dr. R. H. Williams of St. Louis. It was a case of love at first sight where they met in St. Louis some three or four years ago, where Miss Edwards was visiting at the homes of her brothers, Dr. Edwin Edwards and Chas. Edwards, and where Dr. Williams was in practice. The war coming on, however, and Dr. Williams being called to the service their marriage was postponed until he should return from France. On landing at New York Saturday he wired her to meet him in Louisville, where their marriage took place. Dr. Williams comes from one of St. Louis' very best families and bears the reputation of being a polished and refined gentleman and a physician ranking at the tope of his profession. After a trip through the East and a visit with the relatives in Kentucky they will come to Higbee for a short visit, and will likely locate in St. Louis. The NEWS joins other friends in hearty congratulations and best wishes. Friday, 27 June 1919, Vol 33.
