A Happy Time.

Chapter x, p. e. o., met in regular
meeting at the home OF Mrs. s. J.
Finley Monday night. An excellent
program was given of a Thanksgiving
nature. A song by Mrs. Cowgirl and
Mrs. Chas. Lofiand was enjoyed by
all. A paper on the origin of Thanks
giving, by Mrs Eta Levi, was concise
and well written. This was followed
by an original Thanksgiving story by
Miss Eva Spencer which was full Of
merit, interesting and smoothly word
ed. A very pleasurable feature of
the evening was the description of
the Passion Play, given by Miss Mo-
MILAN, of Knoxville, who has recent
ly returned from trip abroad. At
the close of the program pumpkin
pie and milk was served by the pro-
gram committee, of which Mrs. Joe
Wray was chairman.

ITO SAY GOODBYE. I
westward the Star Of Empire
Takes Its Course"

During the week there will be q
great exodus from Muchakinock, and
sixty families will bid farewell to the
homes they have known and loved so
long. Most of the pilgrims win be
colored people, and the words of that
old familiar strain, 'I's gwine to say
goodbye" will come up wildly to
mind. In the big caravan there will
be one hundred employees Of the Com
solidation Coal Company, and their
destination will be the new town OF
Buxton, in Monroe county, about
twenty miles southwest from Mucha-
KNOCK. Though there may be few
regrets on leaving, the men are all
anxious to go, and many are clamor-
ing for recognition on the list,
The new field of coal is one of the
richest in Iowa, and working in it will
be what the boys call "a puddin'."
The vein is over six feet thick, and
from present prospects it will be un-
usually easy to mine. The one hum
dred new houses in Buxton, which
are complete and comfortable, are
ready for occupancy, and constitute
a model mining camp. The North
western Railroad is.completed to the
new shaft, No. 10, and the big store
building will soon be stocked with
goods. Superintendent Buxton ex-
poets to begin to hoist coal on Mon
day, and the black diamonds viii roll
out as they never have in any other
hole in that neighborhood.
Shafts Numbers s and 8 in the
Muchakinock field will hold out for
from two to three years longer, at
which time there will be another ex-
odus, and the town of Muchakinock
will revert to country trading post.
We are sorry to lose any and all of
these good people from Mahaska
county, and commend them to the
good graces of the denizens of Mon
roe county. But business calls them
hence, and
