The regular meeting OF the Fort
nightly Club was held last evening at
the delightful home Of Prof. and Mrs.
Thos. Il. Hodges. In spite OF the
rainy weather, nearly sixty members
were In attendance, and all feel we'll
repaid for coming DR.. |. G. White
was the speaker OF the evening. His
subject was s'The Doctrine of Eevolu-
tlon.n He brought out the fact that
all the scholars who have studied the
sciences which have TO do with life
forms, are, without exception evolu-
tionists, and showed that the reason
why many people are opposed TO the
theory OF evolution Is that they do not
understand it.
DR.. White went carefully into the
story of the earth's geological history,
and with his great wealth OF knowl-
edge, was able to paint vivid word
picture of the development Of life
forms on the earth's surface. He took
his hearers with him TO the lowest
stratum of the water-laid rocks that
form the crust of the earth, and de-
scribed the forms Of plants and anil
mails existing on the earth at the time
this lower stratum was the outside
crust If the earth. He showed the
club that these first forms of life were
entirely marine forms, as at that time
the whole surface OF the earth was COW
cred with water He showed how from
these earliest and lowest forms OF life,
the later and higher forms gradually
evolved, bringing to bear upon the
subject an overwhelming mass OF ar
guments from paleontology, compara-
tive embryology and comparative
anatomy. His whole argument
was simple and conclusive.
DR.. Hopkins discussed DR.. Whites
address, and threw many interesting
side-lights upon the discussion. He
took many OF his arguments from
insect life with which he is so famil-
lar. He discussed particularly the
cell theory, and illustrated by chart
which he had prepared, the life-his-
tory Of the cell, and the branching of
Of one species from the earlier or par
ent species.
After the addresses by DIR. White
and DR.. Hopkins, DR.. Raymond, the
president Of the club, read most
amusing evolutionary poem entitled
'sSimilar cases. which set forth In the
strongest light, the objections made
to the evolutionary theory by those
who know nothing about 1T.
A delightful social half-hour was
then spent discussing the refresh
ments served by the hospitable hostess.
Interest in the club grows, and it is
proving one Of the most potent agen-
cies in bringing together the various
elements in the life OF the town.
The next meeting Of the club will
be held with Prof. and Mrs. White

Johnson on Shakespeare's Merchant

Postoffice will be in new quar-

Everything In readiness for the move y

boxes-Read the new rules and gov-
ern yourselves accordingly.
''Fair tonight and Sunday, colder
tonight.
After Saturday night mail will be
obtained from the new postoffice and
not a great many people who are
here expect to see it taken from any
other place before the expiration OF
a long term of years. The Inspect
or who had been expected for so
long came in on Friday and looked
over the ground. Everything was
all right and moving will be accom-
plished on Saturday night.
Everything about the new office
has been arranged for the comfort
and convenince of the public and the
postmaster. The office hours have
been arranged so that there is no
room for any kick whatever and the
people will appreciate the conces-
sions that have been made for their
convenience.
The office will open at seven in
the morning and close at nine at
night. During this time the holders
of boxes can get their mail at all
times but the wickets will be closed
at seven and no one except those
holding lock boxes can be served af
ter they go down. On Sunday the
doors will open at noon and close at
at six while the wickets will be up
from four to five the same hour that
until now has been given to serving
the public on Sunday.
The Money Order Office will be
open from eight to six except on
Seneca pay night when the time will
be extended one hour. Mail will
have to be deposited in the office
twenty minutes before the arrival of
trains to insure dispatch.
A great many boxes have been
taken in the new office and the de-
mand is still keeping up. The ma
.jority of these calls are for lock
boxes which will have such an adj
vantage over the others and people
who have formerly gotten their mail
out of the general delivery now have
lock boxes
For the first few days the office
force will have hard time getting
on to the boxes but after while
they will be able to distribute the
mail with even greater CELEBRITY than
they have been used to in the old
one with which they were so famil-
lar.
Married.
WARD-CoNN-It has been found
that Rev. Ross Ward on his recent

He went down the river across the
Fayette equity line and was married
to Miss Lavina Conn. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. j. G. Tonga
necker. The couple went quietly
back to Preston county where Rev.
Ward has several charges and they
will make their future home there.
For several years Mr. Ward was pas
tor of the Baptist church here and
under his direction the present ele-
giant church which is used by the
congregation was erected. To him
and his bride we extend our heart
lest congratulations.
