LAkEVILLE.

On Monday, the earliest greeting, at friendly meeting, fell from the lips |: "Did you see the eclipse ?" Those who were able to answer in the affirma- tive declare themselves we'll paid for the midnight vigil .. There is tent stationed in the village, where prohibi- tion meetings have been held several evenings. The lectures are in charge of Rev Mir Kidder and others The w. C. T. U. held it's second meeting on Friday last. .. John Martin has been home from Bridgeport on vacation, recently Mir and Mrs Orville Adams, of Laport County, Indiana, are visiting friends and former neighbors in this place. Twenty years ago they were residents of Lakeville. Mir Adams was once school teacher in town. The Holley Manufacturing Go suspended work for repairs, last Thursday. It is probable that the shop will not reopen in three or four weeks. Mir James Stuart made his little daughters happy last week by presenting them with 8 fine new upright piano. -. The people of Lakeville are anticipating with pleasure, the musical presence of Differs cornet band with us next week. .. By the time this paper is published the marriage of Miss Addie Miller to Mon- roe Silvernail will have taken place, and the happy couple will be on the jour- ney to their western home. The good wishes and congratulations of their many friends follow them.
 As your Lakeville correspondent ap- pears to be taking vacation I take the liberty of sending an item of interest to your subscribers from this vicinity The famous Diller Octette, of New York, (who for several years past have spent a week at Norfolk), will give series of morning and evening concerts in the grove at Lakeville during the first week in August. These concerts will be open to the public and will no doubt be ap- preciated by all our people. The ex- pense of this rich musical treat is met by few of our prominent citizens, to whom the thanks of all music-loving people should be extended. W.

Women narners for Women.

On one Of the women's streets Of this
town, where the petticoats are so thick
that a man is almost as much out OF place
as he would be ut ladies luncheon, there
is woman's barber shop. 1t has not a
striped pole in front of it. IL is too
aesthetic for that, and tie women find IL in
fiocks without such vulgar aids. IL is a
wonan's place In the fullest sense Of the
word, run by women and for women 1t
il the outcome of the usual long felt want.
OF course, there were always places
where women could get their hair dressed,
but when the universal hang demanded
constant attention these great artists were
apt to act as if such ministratiOns were
beneath their attention. Then they
charged enormously The places where
they trim bangs cheap were dubious!y
masculine; even il they set apart place
for women there were glimpses continu-
ally of dreadful. collarless, lathered male
beings, and to the inexperienced feminine
mind nothing seems SO Indecent as a nan
being shaved.
Still another question of decercy came
in. The fine ladies who have had their hair
dressed ever since they were IL years old,
and who patronize men dressmakers and
milliners, of course, have no sort of OBJ
lection to men BARRIERS, but lots of Young
women in n less exalted sphere find IL
quite dreadful TO have man fussing half
an hour over their heads. ''You know,
said one not over lucidly, with the
dentist you don't mind, because he hurts
you so dreadfully all the time, but with Il
barber it Is different. New York

depicted upon the faces of many of the

gavel down for the tin call. when fright
ened operator exclaimed: Lets have q
special meeting with view of closing the
exchange" The motion was put to the
members present and carried.
While the meeting was in session, it was
rumored around that an adverse decision
would undoubtedly swamp many promi-

on the other side could not go out to the
country as basis of settlement without
causing innumerable failures and general
panic. Strauss, the London bear operator

price fixed, without regard to the proper
value of the London article.

bishop, or to whom he is amenable. The
growth OF the number of delegates to the
quadrennial conference was spoken of and
IL was suggested that some change should
be made that would limit the representa-
ZION.
The increasing arrival on our shores of
members Of the Roman Church makes it
imperative that the members of the Metho-
dist Church should work to convert them.
The bishops are Of the opinion that the
church OF Rome is a snare TO the people
and threatens our institutions. The strug-
gle between capital and labor is referred to
in the address, and il was denied tha, the
church has any right to take part in politi-
cal struggles or had taken part in them
1t was advised that steps should be taken
% sdopt some regular order of worship So
that in all churches the form would be the
same.
The bishops severely criticised the secular
Sunday newspapers. The liquor traffic
was deprecated and total prohibition was
advised. The liquor traffic, it was held.
could not be legaiized without sin. The
members of the church were advised to
work for the destruction OF the pernicious
traffic.
The rport of the committee appointed
to report on the eligibility of women as
delegates was then brought forward. Itwas
presented by Rev. DR.. Shinkle. The COM
mittee reported, THAT after serious discus
sion they have become convinced that
