While the TRIBUNE for last week

services and annual party of Iowa

can speak authoritatively and dc
most positively declare it "A triumph
of culinary art, graciously served.
The impressive installation SER
vices, in which the rich official
robes were employed, were alone a
fine entertainment for the two hun
dred guests present, and when to
this was added singing, short, pithy
addresses, instrumental music and
! opportunities for neighborly chats
there was made up an evening oI
rare enjoyment, which the three link
fraternity always provide when
friends are invited in.
George Masten, as installing otii-
Ger, acquitted himself well, espec-
tally in evading calls for a speech.
Rev. Il. Kent responded to calls in a

Accidentally Shot.

Last Monday afternoon "Donie"
Boucher was accidentally shot while
playing with a pistol at the Kirkpatrick
farm near this city. DOME is about IA
years old and had gone to the farm
with Bus Richardson to see Fernandez
Gillian. In their rambles they found
an empty pistol and played with it q
while. Not knowing they had been
handling the weapon, Gillian loaded it
for some purpose and put it back in the
drawer. The boys returned shortly
and got it again and supposing it was
still empty, half-cocked it and while
playing with it in this manner it struck
the table in some way and was dis
charged. The ball entered the right
side of young Boucher's neck and came
out on the opposite side inficting a Sc
rious and painful wound. Medical aid
was Immediately summoned and the
wounded lad brought to his home in
this city. He is now receiving careful
nursing and the best of medical Ntten-
ton at the hands of DR.. L. S. Miller,
and DR.. II. W. Brown and is doing as
we'll as could be expected.

A New Bank Assured.

johnson City is to have new bank,
and the people are to have new rate
of interest. Lynchburg, Va, capital
lists were in the city Tuesday looking
over the field with the idea of estab-
fishing bank here. They were so
we'll pleased with the out look and en-
couragement given that they have
virtually decided to open bank here
at once with capital of $50, 900 and
announce in advance that they will
charge only 6 per cent interest on loans
and will take care of all demands.
There is unlimited capital behind the
institution, and they will do conserva-
tive banking business. Our townsman,
Mr.. J. W. Boring, has been solicited
to take charge of the institution, and
has the matter under advisement. Mr..
Boring is an experienced banker, and
is popular with our people, and the
company would make no mistake in
securing his services. Under the man
agement desired, and with the interest
at per cent, there is no doubt that the
new bank would start with nice line
Of business in this territory.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Good things go as easily as bad
things come.
Gossip is cartridge fired from the
gun of idle curiosity.
Kind words never die except when
killed by ingratitude.
The puch bowl is more dangerous
than the pugilistic punch.
The good die young and the other
kind when they can't help it.
Superstition never keeps people from
accepting thirteen for dozen.
Human nature in broadcloth is no
better than human nature in rags.
A man with an elastic Imagination is
apt to mistake it for his conscience.
The wise man turns up his sleeves
and goes to work while the fool sits
around and waits for work to come to
him. Chicago News.
