     THE Collett-McKay reunion celebrated near Wilmington last week was attended by over 400 of that connection. But the greatest of these is W. J. Collett, of Harveysburg, at present an efficient Commissioner of Warren county.

     THE Collett-McKay reunion on last Saturday, was as usual a pleasant occasion. Very near four hundred persons were in attendance and every one enjoyed him or herself to the fullest extent. Fair weather added to the pleasure, as did the bountiful repast prepared for the many there. This was one of the chief features of the day and needless to say all were much interested in it. These reunions are growing in interest each year and fortunate are the ones who are permitted to attend them.

     THE annual reunion and picnic of the Collett-McKay family will be held Saturday next, in the grove heretofore used for that purpose on the farm of Daniel Collett. A large attendance is expected, and with good weather a pleasant time will be had. We return our thanks for an invitation to be present.
