PROFITABLE ANNUAL CONVENTION AT
WEST PARIS.

Wednesday morning, May l6, the ele-
ments favored the appearance Of the sun,
which had been rather q iitful visitor
since Sunday. Everything In nature
was fresh and the invigoratlng air from
the mountains helped to give an inspira-
ton TO the band of White Ribboners who
gathered ut West Paris for the annual
convention.
The entertaining union had q COM
mittee to welcome the visitors upon the
arrival Of the trains, who were escorted
to the Freewill Baptist church. From
the very first hearty greeting 1t was evil
dent that although the ominous number,
thirteen, marked this yearly gathering,
this Was to be no argument In favor
of It's influence for misfortune. Upon
entering the pretty church II seemed like
being ushered into fsirylsnd for the
church was 40 dsintily decorated. Dr.
rectly back of the pulpit our county
banner hung upon the wall. The pulpit
and ratings were banked with flowers,
the white and pink prevailing. And
beautiful palms and maiden hair ferns
gave q delightful touch Of green. A
large bow OF white ribbon, our badge,
was placed upon the front Of the pulpit
apid the flowers and evergreens. Above
the banner, In white letters, upon back
ground Of evergreens, was the motto Of
the organization, "For God and Home
and Every Lsnd." Upon the easel In
the gallery In the rear Of the house was
picture Of our departed leader, Miss
willard.
At 10 80, the 18th annual convention
opened with the president, Mrs. Martha
B. Chapman, In the chsir. Rev. Caro-
line ANGEL conducted the opening de-
votlonal exercises after which by the fall
Of the gsvel the president announced the
convention open for business. After the
roll-call and reading OF the minutes OF
the last convention by the secretary, and
acceptance OF the same, the following
committees were appointed:
On credentiais-Mrs. Howard Smith Of Nor.
way and Miss Lane OF West Paris.
On courtesies-Mrs. s. +. W. Curtis OF West
Paris and Mrs. Billings Of Bethel.

old and his parents, unbeknown to
him, had sent out word to his school

help them properly celebrate the
event. So at early candlelighting
he was "towed" off down town on
one pretext or another and when he
came home there they were. And
such a time of games and amuse-
ment as was had until the hostess,
Mrs. w. c. Sturgeon, announced
that lunch was ready. After the
goodies had been devoured all again
repaired to the parlor where games
were again resumed and kept up
until the wee sma' hours of the
morning. Harold was remembered

him with many pretty gifts, just to
remind him that upon that day he
had a birthday and he also had a
whole lot of friends.
