evening at the home of Mrs. Agnes
Scott, to spend quiet hour or two
with Mrs. s. II. Ellis before her de-
parture for her new home in Okla
homa. Mrs. Ellis and Miss Bertha
went this morning and it is with the
deepest regret that their friends babe
them good bye. Mrs. Ellis has lived
in this city for years and there is
probablynOta person knowing her who
does not regard her with sincere re-
spect and love. Her beautiful char
acter, gentle sweetness of manner and
ready sympathy and aid in times of
distress have won for her place in
the affections of her friends which
cannot be easily filled by another.
Miss Bertha will be greatly missed
in the Presbyterian church where she
has been actively engaged in choir,
Sunday school and G.. f. society, as
we'll as by her many young friends
who wish her God speed in her new
home.
The reading room was the scene of
one of the pleasantest social gather
ings of the year last Saturday even
ing. John Henderson and Arthur
ing the few days of their Easter vaca-
tiOn and were beguiled to the reading
room that evening by interested
friends, only to be overwhelmed with
the hearty greetings of large num-
Der of young people assembled there
i'm response to invitations sent out by
the boys mothers. Music and recita-
tons occupied the earlier part of the
evening, after which refreshments
were served and the remaining hours
delightfully."- spent i'm conversation and
games. We are pleased to note the
success of the boys in their Univer-
sity work but hope that many such
pleasant evenings may occur during
their vacations, that they may not
wholly lose their love for and interest
in their home town.
The joint meeting of the Allen and
WOodsOn county teachers held In lola
last Saturday was most successful
and enjoyable throughout. The Wis
iting and home teachers gathered
first at the G.. A. r. hall, where the
welcoming address and response
were delivered and a dinner served
which differed from many public
meals in its uniform excellence. The
regular program of the Association
was carried out at the High School
room, which was filled to its utmost
capacity. Every number on the pro-
gram deserves special and commend
atOry mention for it was by far the
best Association program it was ever
our good fortune to hear. The music
of the "Harpers" and the "Fan Drip
given by the sixteen little girls whom
Miss Mitchell has so skillfully train
ed, assisted materially in making the
occasion pleasant one, and votes OF
thanks were rendered to all who lad
helped in any way toward the gener-
al success. All who were present
would doubtless vote with hearty
good will for the early recurrence Of
so pleasant reunion.
They are in trouble about the post
office up at Carlyle. The government
has concluded that it cannot afford to
pay a carrier for transporting the
mails to and from the railroad depot
to the office, and so notified the post
master, G. f. Adams. that after the
first of April he would be required tC
perform that service. AS the tOta
revenue to the postmaster is about SIT
a month, Mr.. Adams promptly de
clined to perform the additional work
for which 800 a year has heretofore
been paid, and has forwarded his res
| ignation as postmaster. AS there II
nobody else at Carlyle who will take
the lob on the new terms, it begins t.
look as if Carlyle would be without &
postoffice unless the Government
either backs down and goes back tt
the old terms, or else finds some for
eigner who is willing 10 come to it
rescue. 1t maybe, if he fails to secure
the lola office, that Col. Jones nigh
come to the relief of the Administra
ton in this way. And in any event
after the lola Office is disposed of, WI
will have several second hand candi
dates here who might, with a littl'
furnishing up, be made as good a
new for use at Carlyle. Speaking
seriously it would be great outrag
to discontinue the post-office at Carly
lie, and the people in that neighbor
hood ought to protest most vigorousl.
against it.
