lican agreements for protection. Judge
Vanderslice was present but declined to
speak on account of the lateness of the
hour. He promised. however, to address
the people of Ford some time before the
election.
The utmost good feeling prevailed at
the meeting. and republicans who were
present appeared to acquiesce in the gen.
eral endorsement of what was said.
Nothing of a harsh or terminating ma
ture was INDUCED in. by the speakers.
but plain facts were plainly and candidly
discussed The democratic candidates
are well known personally to most of the
people of Ford. and so favorably known
that they will poll more than the party

Successful missionary Tea given by the
ladies of the Presbyterian church at the
residence of Mrs. DIR. Wade.
At the hour of clock the missionary
meeting was called to order by the presi-
dent, Mrs. \. Curtius, who read from the
scriptures, making a strong impression
upon the ladies, who were out in force.
and the best feeling prevailed An APP
prOpriate selection was sang after which
an earnest prayer was offered by Mrs. G..
G. Pratt Mrs. L. B and Miss Fan
ME H. Thoms read interesting works in
relation to missionary work. A motion
was made and carried that the money
raised should be placed in the treasury
and used for the church.
Although this is only the second meet
ing of the society, yet the report was very
encouraging and showed with what I'M
firing zeal and energy the ladies had pros
ecuted the work. The meeting closed by
fervent prayer by Rev. Mrs. Wright,
which proved our sister was glowing with
religious feeling.
At seven O. clock the stream of visitors
was Unexpectedly great. nor did the
stream cease until the number in attend
ance numbered so or more.
The affair Thursday was fully in keep
Ing with the reputation these ladies haye
already gained; in fact they add fresh
laurels to many which already adorn
their brOws. Mrs Wade had arranged
the house for the occasion, and every
thing was provided in that direction, and
no pains was spared to make the occasion
pleasant for all. A few more meetings
and the work will be done and well done.

hungry individuals who fiocked about
the table to satisfy their apetites. Messrs
w. C. Shinn, g. H. Pratt and DIR. Wade
evinced such strong apetites that Il great
number present were constrained to eat
somewhat sparingly in order to convince
the good people that everybody in Dodge
City did not live to eat. Those who fin
ished their repast proceeded to enjoy
themselves in various ways, while the
later corners were eating. Delightful mu-
sic was furnished by Mrs. Van Welt, Mrs.
j. Gilbert and Mrs. W. Patten. which
was highly appreciated and loudly ap-
plauded. 1t took nearly two hours to
supply the hungry multitude. Mr.. d.
W. Moffitt made short speech, announ-
cling the object of these sociables and
teas, and requesting all present to give
literally. Liberal sums of money were
raised. He spoke of the influence of the
women in the great work of missions,
and said he was friend of missionary
work in this country. The ladies went
away feeling glad that the public had
again appreciated their labor of love.
The society is laboring with all zeal and
vigor for tho success of the society and
church.
