ment Of the guests. Mrs. Alex Al
bridge acted as installing lady, and
installed the following officers: Mrs

Argonia had another close call from
the lire fend a few nights since. A
small blaze was discovered in the
Office of the Badger Lumber Co.,
where it had caught in a wooden spit
tOOn, but was promptly extinguiShed
before any material damage was done.
La its mention of the fire, the Clipper
says: "This is the second time that
Argonia has had a fire to originate in
wooden spittOOn, but in the other
case also the damage was small. That
was in the bank four or five years ago.
The floor was burned through, the
SpittOn dropped to the ground and the
nre went out. Wooden spittoons are
exceedingly dangerous and insurance
companies will not carry insurance on
or in buildings when they are used, if
they know it. A cigar stub or match
dropped into one is likely to produce
a fire."
Oxford Register: If any man in
this county is entitled to sympathy
and neighbOrly attention of the peo-
pie it is John c. StrattOn. Mrs. STRAIT
ton has been sick, aud near to death
most of the time, for many weeks.
As she began to improve two small
boys were taken down with typhoid
fever. The house is small and in order
to have room and give her the neceS-
sary care, DR.. Smith, who is the at
tending physician, had her removed
to his own home, where Mrs. Smith is
giving her every care and attention
and she is progressing quite satisfact-
orily. During Der illness several ladies
of the town were very kind and con-
slant in their ministrationS and large
ly because of their care is Mrs. Strait
ton alive today. Mr.. Stratton is left
to care for his two sick boys and the
rest Of the family, do the cooking and
all, and he is nearly worn out. He is
a hopeful, industrious man, and de-
serves something better than the cold
Charity of the world. What are our
churches for? Cases of genuine dis
tress among worthy people, like the
one quoted above, ought to appeal to
their sympathy without a hint or a
kick from the publican and sinner
without the veil.' We do not know
whether he is Methodist, a Baptist,
a Presbyterian, Christian, a Catho-
lic-Or an lnfdel-and it doesn't
matter. He is in need of help and the
GOOD Samaritan"-Who is mighty
few-alone has responded to his mute
appeal.
