course we will take in electing city officers
for the coming year.
We must at once decide whether we want

years service to board secretary Tor wheth
or we will have council that will transact
public business % squarely and carefully as

We can have such council ne all law-abid-

Miss lnez Carson told the story of school
life in rhyme showing much talen in vers-
ficatiOn.
One business man is sharp, another fiat;
one Is base, another pursues the even tenor
of his way; in fact the similarity of music
and business was remarkable and who
could so fittiRglS respond as Mr.. Shattuck,
asked the toast master, as he called up Mr..
j. G. Shattuck to respond to the Business
Man."
Business men, said the president of the
o. b. M. A., were demanded to-day in
every calling In life; we have business men
who are school superintendent; we have
business men who are preachers; we have
business men who are lawyers, editors, etc.
The life of a business man was one never
ending round Of pleasure. Mr.. Shattuck
closed his response with the following sem
timent, which was warmly and deservedly
applauded: 1.-The Business Men and
Women Of OwOssO-they lead i'm matters
social, intellectual and moral"
Miss Flo Webster most beautifully de-
scribed the last year i'm school under the
allegOrical form of the 'Ship of 81" with it's
crew of seniors Differed by the high school
teachers The crew was described as from
the log-book and the story most charmngly
told.
Miss Josephine Gilbert responded to the
toast 1.-The Gentlemen" With most perfect
enunciation and in superb rythm and ryhme
Miss Gilbert told of the ideal gentleman,
mercilessly scathing the dude and the shams
that passed as gentlemen.
President Mcbride said he arose to Ques-
ton of privilege. which was parliamentary
proceeding when man had something to
explain and in this instance 1t was necessary
to say that Mr.. Parkill desired to change,
and, loving Mr.. Parkill he had consented.
Mr.. Mcbride then responded to the Toast,
1.-The Ladies'"
The election of officers for 1892 resulted
as follows:
President-Miss Josephine Gilbert.
Vice President-Ray Mahaney.

One of the interesting events in business
circles this week is the millinery opening of
Mrs. M. A. Pond, corner of Exchange and
Ball streets, where the choicest line of goods
is being shown. The styles are of the latest
and goods selected with an evidence of rare
taste. With Miss Grace. Martin as trimmer,
satisfaction is assured. Call and see the
new goods and be reminded that "A thing
of beauty is joy forever"
