the Amity club not only affords many
| pleasant occasions for it's lady mem

| gentlemen who are invited to wear
broad smiles. Last Saturday evening

held at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Wilhart. The literary entertain
ment was furnished by the members of
| the society and some of the invited
| guests. The programme consisted of

mer and Messrs. Reed and Birchard.

with slip Of paper containing num-
Der and the name of an animal. The
| holder of the slip was to draw upon
blackboard sketch of the animal
named. The others were to guess the
| name from the sketch. When all had
drawn, Miss Renniger, who had the
| drawing in charge, read correct list,
and the one who had the most correct
names received the prize. Seventeen
| numbers were represented and Mrs.
Lillian Somers won the prize by cor
rectly naming 16 of them. Judging

past week, which have been well at
tended. The trio consists of Mrs Lettia
owens, the famous little preacher; Miss
May Goss and Miss Morgan. 1t was
almost impossible to obtain standing
room at the church last Sunday even
ing, so eager was everyone to hear the
trio. The programme, which included
the local choir and orchestra, was ex-

duets and solos. The subject of Mrs
Owens lecture was Mother, Home and
Heaven She is a very earnest speaker
and has the faculty of impressing her
ideas by most appropriate illustrations

The company is going ahead in a sys-
tematic manner and this new shaft will
doubtless dispel the water idea.
Pasleys teams are very busy now
hauling about $50 loads of dirt and fill
