Owing to the entertainment of the
public school Friday night, the Nation
alists held their regular meeting one
night earlier (Thursday night, so as not
to come in conflict with the school exer-
cises. Not having sufficient time to
properly notify the members of the club,
the attendance was not near what 1t
would have been otherwise. The exer-
cises opened by Miss Myrtle Webster
PLAYING a difficult solo on the piano in
brilliant style. The secretary, Mr.. Ollie
then read the minutes of last meeting,
followed by a recitation by Mr.. Bush.
Mr.. Webster then showed the advan
tages that would accrue to the people if
municipalities owned their own public
works, as exemplified in the city of Glas-

bers, and all the prettiest ladies in Long
