MERRIAM PARK,

For many years the Redotta club of the
Park was one of the most live institutions of
the town. In the earlier days it was the only
club of the place and it thriyed. II contained
members who were the representatives Of
all classes. and once in every two weeks the
people gathered at Woodruffs 2, and there
they spent the evening in social ways A
hall and orchestra were provided for those
who cared to dance card tables for the elder
people and a midnight supper for all. While
the town was small the greatest harmony
prevailed. but as the people continued to ar
rive and the town spread there some petty
lealousles sprung up among the members.
II was either this or the movement among
some of the young to get the swallow tail
evening dress suit that marked the beginning
Of the decline Of this once illustrious club.
The last two years the club has not been q
bowling success and this fall heretofore the
members have not been able to get suffi
cient number present to hold a business
meeting. Another effort to revive the al
most lost cause will be made on Monday
evening, and all the old members are invited
to be present.
The Congregational social given at the res
idence of Mrs. A. j. TrumbuIl on Thursday
evening was great success. 1t WAS well
attended and the short musical programme
was greatly enjoyed. This programme was
given under the direction of the Merriam
