‘House Warming Revives Many Old- 
FE time Reminiscences. 
_ Tuesday evening about 30 friends 
their 22nd wedding anniversary. 
A most enjoyable evening was 
‘spent with music, singing, dancing, 
social ganes and story telling with 
‘reminiscences of “ye olden days,” 
‘when Uncle Johnnie Andrews and 
Aunt Sally, his wife, lived in the field 
adjoining Mr, Davis’ ranch. 
‘Uncle Johnnie was quite a military 
man. When the war broke’out in the 
early sixties, the young men living 
‘near went out to Uncle Johnnie’s 
ith fife and drum. He would act 
as their captain, march them around 
the field, going through all the mili- 
tary orders. ‘ 
One night the boys thought they 
sught to repay Uncle Johnnie for his 
kindness in drilling them so well. 
“They knew he had a fondness for a 
glass of wine, like many other 
‘military men in those days. They 
came all prepared to help Uncle 
Johnnie along. 
With many toasts and cheers the 
captain was treated in right royal old 
style. Uncle Johnnie soon gave or- 
ders to fall in line. 
march”! was given. They all started 
off like clock work, everyone in line. 
When nearly down the field, Uncle 
' Johnnie cried, “Right about face”! 
‘Just at this moment Uncle Johnnie’s 
toe caught. He fell to the ground. 
‘His ever ready wit saved him from 
court martial. Just as he fell, he 
cried, “Every man to the ground, the 
‘enemies’ bullets are in the air”! 
_ Many other good stories were re- 
Jated to the amusement of all present. 
Refreshments were served including 
ice cream, wedding cake, candy and 
fruit. A most enjoyable evening was 
spent, one long to be remembered. 
About a year ago when Mr. Davis 
‘sold his property, all the neighbors 
were much interested to know where 
he would locate. ‘They hoped he 
would select the vicinity of Preston 
Place. 
They were soon ‘gratified to hear 
that Mr. Davis had purchased a large 
tract of land, fifty or more acres, just 
‘back of the old Davis’ and Williams’ 
properties, adjoining Louis Shaw’s on 
the south. 
This land has a southern exposure, 
contzins several good kinds of soil, 
especially adapted to raising vegeta- 
' bles or grain. Using a Western 
’ phrase, when the land is “redded up,” 
Mr. Davis will have one of the finest 
farms in this section. It is so situated

that it can be irrigated from natural 
sources. 
Very large crops can be raised twice 
a year in this way, making it a most 
valuable piece of property. 
The writer has seen many thou- 
cands of acres of barren land in the 
west made to yield bountiful crops by 
irrigation. The same could be done 
to this property. 
Mr. Davis has built 
roomed house and large stable. Both 
have natural water supplies. The 
scenery from the house is very beau- 
tiful especially at sunrise and sunset.
