The Somers brass band will furnish
the music. We understand the dele

Grove will bring their own band,
besides the Head Consul, Rev.
Duckwo1th, of OconomowoC, will
deliver an. address, and we have
strong hopes that Gov. w. d. Hoard

speaks to the members at Elgin, ILL.,,
on the 9th, will stop off on his way
down and address the people here
the 18th. His answer is expected
Thursday. Lots Of games, for which
liberal prizes will be given, will make
up the afternoons amusements. All
Woodmen in this section are expect
ed to be present and cordial invi-

wish to know something of this won
derful and rapidly growing order, to
be present.
The concert last Thursday even

The annual "Children's Day" was
observed in our churches last Sab
bath morning and afternoon. A
very deliberately planned and highly
successful program was presented.
In the morning the church was
crowded with little people and their
mothers and fathers. This school,
which has membership of IS and
an average attendance of 90, was out
in full force, filling the middle seats
chuck full The platform was beau
tifully decorated with evergreens,
Towering plants and huge bouquets.
The singing of the school, led by our
ablest quartette, was feature of the
program. In the afternoon the M.
E. church was crowded to its full
capacity. The floral decorations
were fine and in good taste, the pro-
gram interesting and instructive.
While this school is not numerically
as large as the older societies, it has,
however, among its members a few
families who can furnish a program
alone when they bestir themselves,
and they certainly put forth their
best efforts on this occasion to the
entire satisfaction of all present.

flew the time, as dancing, and other
amusements were provided for the
pleasure of the guests. They re-
ceived some very handsome and
costly presents, which are far too
numerous for brief mention. 1t was
a time long to be remembered by
all who were fortunate enough to
attend. And upon separating they
expressed themselves we'll pleased
with their entertainment. And

The Children's Day at the Plank

nice pictures and pretty flowers, SO
that influence we'll added to the IN

was large attendance and all speak
we'll of the program.
The Devlin brothers shipped a

The Young Folks Christian En-
deavor society held a temperance
meeting on Sunday evening at the
Plank Road church. Some cutting
papers were read, but what was bet
ter, most of the young men and one
young lady made speeches on the
subject. This will lead them to ex-
press their opinion on public ques-
tons without being overcome with
the usual bashfulness attending first
attempts at public speaking. There
was good attendance of young
folks, and it would be good thing
if more of the old folks attended.
