THE LEADER IN LOW PRICES

suggestions as to how to make our
work popular with the masses we're
given by members of the convention,
also how to obtain the best results from
our work. 1t was to change and vary
the meetings Of the local unions so as
To make them bright and full OF inter
est, also to re- Ich ths parents through
the children, educating the youth.
In fact to use every avenue to advance
the cause.
Mrs. ST. John gave al interestir z
talk on social purity work. She urg, d
mothers to be more careful Of their
daughters. That parents should loo k
after literature that is placed in Il Q
hands of the youths of today. She
recommended that two women be elect
el on the school board in our State.
Committees on plans of work reported
the following:
Realizing our need Of spiritual power
we recommend that members Of county
and district unions te more earnest In
prayer, stronger in faith, "being doprs
Of the WORK and not hearers only"
We deem II an imperative duty of
local superintendent to report to
county superintendent, county to dis
trict and district To State, as a link
must not he lost else an important
chain is broken.
We recommend that each county
hold total abstaiuers' meetings, mass
meetings and temperance picn'cs.
Believing that the hope of the future
In imposed in our young we recon.
mend that Demorest contest work be
done. We urge also AMI ask persist
emily for equal suffrage as justi ce to
citizens and greater protection for
home and women.
Resolutions of thanks for all favors
rendered the convention by the hospi
table people NJ Waterville carried. We
give those Of general interest:
Resolved. That we put in practice
the new ideas received at this cOnven-
tion along the lines Of social purity,
equal suffrage and general practical
work
Resolved, That we secure through

REGENT REFLECTIONS.

Paul & Jacobs are building a hand
some porch for the residence Of A. G.
Eyth, Enterprise.
The townships Of this county are
getting some 6ne road machines. A
new Austin Reversible was sold to
Newbern by Hodge Bros. today.
Il. s. Hallam filed his election ex'
pense bill. 1t amounts to S84 SS, OF
which Sl3 is for announcements, s3 for
tickets and 1888 for extra papers.
About thirty young people gave
Miss Beatrice Waring a pleasant sur
prise last evening, calling In body
and spending the evening most enjoy
ably.
An Abilene business man says he
does not expect TO die. He believes
that he will be present at the opening
of the millennium and have 1000 years
existence on earth. The chances are
that he will be disappointed.
Ground has been broken for new
stucco or cement mill out at John
Rhodes farm. A large mill will be
built at once and 1t is possible that the
Rock Island railway will run a track
TO IL. South Dickinson is all right
:Hope Dispatch.
The high school mandolin club
members returned at noon from Min
neapolis where they won many compli-
ments for their excellent playing. 1t
is reported that several Of them are 80
impressed with the Minneapolis bellies
that their Abilene girls will suffer for
awhile.
1t is reported that the pardons OF
Youman and Jackson were based upon
an affidavit made by Jim Coleman
formerly Of this county that he did
the bank robbing and barn burning.
Coleman skipped the country some
time ago and is supposed TO be In
Oklahoma.
Candidates OF the smaller towns
seem to think the filing Of election
expenses with the county clerk applies
only 10 the county seat. At least none
Of them have complied with the law
yet. They will subject themselves to
fines II they do not do so before the
9th of May.
The concert given by the Sunday
school Of the Christian church last
evening was we'll attended. The young
people acquitted themselves with much
honor and large collection was taken
up. The church is making an effort to
reduce its indebtedness and deserves
encouragement.
ID. Mstteson and Thomas Kirby
have filed their bill Of election ex.
pense. Each spent the same sum to q
cent: 1883 for extra papers and
ti0.0i for announcements. l.. II.
Faulkner's statement shows $3.50 paid
for tickets. VIM. Messenger and J. l..
Worley let the Office seek them without
encouraging IT and spent nothing.
County Superintendent Shirk Is
going TO have unique and valuable
meeting next month. 1t will be a
convention of the district school board
members to discuss matters of general
interest to the educational leaders of
the county. About one hundred are
expected to be present and the conven-
tion promises TO be both interesting
and profitable.
Another Abilene man has been
honored. John Taylor, the wealthiest
farmer In the county, who is some
times called "the mayor of PEARL" has
been appointed member of the advis-
ory council of the Worlds Congress OF
Farm Culture and Cereal Industry to
meet at Chicago on the Worlds Fair
grounds October 10. 1t Is a deserved
compliment to Mr.. raylor's promi.
neuce and skill as a practical and sue
cessful agriculturist.

TUX one off, and then she TUX the other of.
and then she says: ="
why, paw, whatever has become of your
socks? l know as well as I'm a liyin' tibet

And 50 I did, but that there exhibition
Of the resistless forces of nature, as the
paper called it, had pulled Off both socks
without disturbin' Of my boots at all, and
that amt no lie neither"
The man with the ginger beard then wan
dered out. and the grocer said to the man
from Potato creek:
THAT there old man never comes in here
but what / always feel like the store was
liable to be struck with lightning or some
thing"
