LEGION or HONOR.

Honor, No 9J4 held a very large meeting
at their hall Thursday night There were
several limitations, and speeches on the
progress OF the order were made. Viz
GINA Council IS known as the banner
council OF the State. This council has
among IT'S members several ladies. who
have introduced q social feature in con-
nection with its regular meetings, thus
combining the business Of the meeting
and the feature Of a. sociabie. About
once a month these social features are
introduced, and in the hands Of such stall
wart workers as Messrs Charles Doeppe
4. II. McCook, Robt. Johnson its success
IS assured I'm point OF attendance and
character Of entertainment.
So far Fulton has not felt the effects Of
depression as much as other sections o
the city and State. Here we have h2d
steady employment for many Of our peo-
pie Thanks to tho different manufac-
turers Of our lection, who give employ
ment 10 the people. There are great
many men employed I'm the factories, and
our people have every reason 10 be thank
full that they have escaped the hardships
and priyati0ns Of our less fortunate
nelehbors. People will learn after
while that Fulton is a good suburb TO
live in.
1t looks as II there Will be some very
lively scrambling among the politicians
this spring. While there are numerous
candidates aspiring. there Is still room for
more. Fulton viii elect only the best and
most intelligent Of her citizens. who are
willing 10 sacriAce the necessary time 10
these positions. Under no circumstances
will they elect men who Will not 6ttend
to the business Of the city.
