Miss Kate Owens of keokuls, IS a
guest at the home of Mrs. Z. Taylor.
She is also working very faithfully to
organize the Daughters of the Taber-
nacle, here. For the past two months
this has been the cry on every hand,
and not less than five different persons
have been here experimenting with
this same organization, but as yet no
one has accomplished anything. The
reason is simply this: the people are
divided as to who shall have the
honor of setting up the order again
There has been some under mining
work done by parties who had
no right to work at all. There are
those who have tried to bias the minds
of the people to accomplish their own
designs. AS long as partially, envy
and strife exist in any community or
society there IS but little good to come
out of it. If wesyou]d succeed let us
come together Ga work for the good
of humanity and do away with all friv-
olous ideas and notions. Otherwise
our hopes will be forever blighted.
