Despite a frowning Providence
the ladies of the M. E. church held
their icecream, strawberry and flow
er festival Thursday evening, May
21st. On account Of Mr.. Fox not
having his store completed the af-
fair was held in the NJ. E. church
which was tastefully decorated with
shrubs of various kinds; conspicuous
among them was large poultry
tree in the corner in full bloom. A
pair of twin rose-buds showed up
with fine effect in the opposite cor
ner. Lovely boquets nesting among
the sometime green shrubbery whose
brilliant colors and delicate perfume
together with the fair ladies presid-
ing over them made a scene not
easily forgotten. The festivities
were opened by the Glee Club sing
ing a few choice selections, after
which there was general stampede
for the tables, which were loaded
with icecream, strawberries, ETC., at
5 cents a plate. After the feast,
our illustrious townsman, Alex.
Brann, auctioned off the remnants.
After disposing of the candies and
flowers, large handsome wedding
cake "a piece of which l have no
doubt will find its way to the TINES
ofice) was knocked down to Chas.
Fox after some spirited bidding, for
372 cents. Owing to the inclemen-
cy of the weather the funniest thing
in the world did not arrive until
late when the audience enjoyed a
good hearty, wholesome laugh, free
of charge. The audience went home
well pleased with their evenings
fun, lighter of heart and pocket.

The Timber Reservations.

The latest circular issued by the
General Land Office is to special
agents, and relates to timber reser-
vations. Agents are directed to
make careful and personal exam
ination of timber-b bearing lands in
the district to which they are as
signed and recommended to the
General Land Office as to whether
such lands should be set aside as
public reservations. Where timber
lands have not been surveyed, per-
mission may be granted the agents
to employ surveyors for the per-
formance of the work. tits not the
intention of Commissioner Carter
to prohibit the cutting of timber
when necessary for settlement and
development, but merely to preserve
timber and underground on the
headwaters and streams and along
their banks, where the timber is a
means of preventing the sudden and
rapid melting of the winter snow.
Agents will advise with residents
and officials of the section in which
the reservation is to be made, and
will give due notice by publication,
so that-evidence may be heard for
and against the proposed measure,
before the final recommendation is
made to the department. A num-
Der of special agents will be apoint-
ed to carry out the above instruc-
tons, but the Land Office claim no
appointments will be made until
the return of Commissioner Carter.

The past week in financial circles
has been marked by a feeling of
anxiety; growing out of the extra
ordinary flow of gold abroad; a
feeling which, though it has greatly
decreased; has not wholly disap-
peared. The drain this year has
been nearly $45, 100000, occasioned
by the necessity of foreign countries.
1t is a great deal that the United
States should be able to relieve the
European distress to such an extent,
and it may be said that in contrib
uting to the relief OF the necessities
Of Europe we are probably averting
a Continental catastrophe, which
might be nearly as fatal to us as to
Europe. But this feeling of pride
in our National resources is not suf-
flcient to allay all the fears produc-
ed by the grave financial situation
abroad. The belief that Europe
can not hoard this gold for long,
that, when it begins to buy our
wheat and provisions to supply the
deficiencies of its crops, it will be
obliged to part with a large part of
the gold drawn from America, has
served to diminish in some degree
the fears caused by the outward
movement.

Jim Townsend says that a few
weeks ago farmer in Mono had
1000 barrels of popcorn in his barn,
The barn caught on fire and the air
was filled with showers of popcorn,
which caused an old mare in the

and she laid down under three feet
of popcorn and froze to death.

There is nothing wrong with the

The Center of Population.

The census locates the center of
population in Decatur county, in
the State Of Indiana, about twenty
miles from Columbus. Great num-

May 10th to mark the spot with a
monument, it being the second one
raised for such a purpose. The first
time was in 1910, and the place was
in the District Of Columbia, forty
five miles north of Washington,
where yet remains a small stone, on

ulation.' The center of population
has travelled westward each decade
