ried out, that when she came with
Mr.. and Mrs. John w. Smith '.just
t, spend the evening"" the throng
that surrounded her with greetings
was the first intimation she had that
more than quiet visit was intended.
Later in the evening the dinning
room was thrown open and second
surprise awaited. If we had not
been in the secret we should have
been surprised too. The good friends
had not come empty handed but had
brought the incest and best Of fruits
and flowers and table comforts, and
deft hands had made our every day
feeding place, place Of beauty and
had changed the common fare to an
gels food and other good things.
After silent thanksgiving the
most, on behalf Of the class, presen-
ted Mrs. Raines with token Of their
regard in shape Of beautiful silver
and chrystal glass celery stand and a
golden eagle. Response was made
in fitting words, such as betokened
how fully the gift was appreciated.
Mrs. Clark then read poem pre-
pared for the occasion. Like every

before the voters in this county the first

has been agitating the minds of our peo-

cure the court house, while the western
portion favor it's removal to the east,
thinking this will increase their chances

Voice Of the People.

The last council meeting was disastrous
to those who expected to be favored
with city ordinance requiring persons
engaged in the business of keeping II
billiard hall to remove all screens, paints
and like distractions from their win
dews, for the council in its consideration
stocd two for and two against the ordi-
nance and the mayor casting his vote
against the ordinance defeated the same.
This action shows that the city
officers should be selected for their
views on temperance rs we'll as
capacity to sit in council. 1t is
time that the temperance people would
awake tc the real situation of affairs and
vote only for men who favor temperance,
purity of home and the love of good or
der. We do not want men so constitu
tionally deformed that the voice of one
man asking for license will drown the
voices of two hundred asking for a tenn
perance reform. In the choice for candi
dates for councilmen let the preference
be given to temperance, and the e"ot
people of Colby will see that they art
elected.
