Condition and q Pleasing Meeting
Was Held Saturday Night.

The officers OF w. S. Hancock Post,
No. 2Ss, q. A. R., were publicly in
stalled Saturday night by Col. John
W. Scott, Dept. Commander, Of Mob
erly. The attendant exercises were
very pleasing.
The song, "Tenting Tonight" as
sung by the Threlkeld family, was
made especially touching by the sight
of the old battle-scarred veterans in
the room. God alone knows what
memories the song stirred in the
hearts of these men,
Rev. 1. ]. Hicks led the members
