teen members were ensolled at the
first meeting, and it is to be hoped the
society will soon number among its
members all the young folks in Ste

The social event of the week was
the reception given at Mr. G. M. Pee
rvs on Thursday night last in behalf
of his daughter, Miss Lula V. Peery.
By eight o'clock fully fifty guests had
