Considering the brief time for announcements and preparation, last weeks fall festival was quite a successful affair. There was not enough time given to arrange for a homecoming in the true sense so relatively few were here from outside the county. Still a great crowd was in town Thursday-Old Settlers Day-and the people seemed to enjoy the opportunity to greet old friends. Nearly 300 people were entertained at a free dinner to those over 65 years of age and who had lived in the county 50 years or more. The oldest person present was Addison Hull of Orange, past 90 years of age, and the only surviving Mexican soldier in the county and still quite active. In the afternoon, Captain Ed Harlan delivered an address in the court house yard, which was well received.

The Red Men were also very much in evidence. The Martinsville Lodge came over about 50 strong, with their uniformed drill team and the Martinsville band, which rendered some excellent music during the day. The Marshall and Martinsville Lodges gave an imposing parade, and the evolutions of the drill team greatly interested the spectators.

The list of the old settlers who were entertained at dinner was as follows as nearly as could be obtained from the register. Almost 300 ate dinner at the two churches - the Methodist and the Congregational - but a number paid for dinner whose names do not appear.
