Monday night the Kinsley Womans
Club accompanied by it's husbands
and brothers dropped in on Mrs.
Lewis in honor of her --teenth
birth day. They assaulted the house
from all sides at once, and it was a
genuine surprise party, which shows
the superiority of the club woman:
she can keep a secret. A large, beau
tiful coal hod decorated with n red
ribbon was presented to the SURPRISE
by the surprisers. Some of the MEM
bers have decided to quit carrying in
the coal, and this hod signifies that
from this time, henceforth and forever
a club woman found carrying in coal
while her husband reads the evening
paper, will be excommunicated. The
party brought a large amount of re-
freshments which were disposed of
late in the evening.

The text at the First Baptist
Church last Sunday morning !
was. go forward" from Ex-
odus 14th and 18th, and the
Pastor, Rev. l. w. Reed. in a ,
very able discourse, showed the
progress of the church for the
past year and how she had met
and overcome the greatest
difficulties in her-entire history.
But there is one thing the
Pastor did not say, and that is,
that he has been the right man
in the right place, and that
very much of the success OF the
church for the past year is due
to the faithful and efficient
efforts of himself and his
estimable wife who have won
the love and esteem not only of
this church but of everyone in
this community who is trying
to advance the cause of the
m aster.

from the last annual report of
the church clerk
Additions to the church 80.

"One year ago the outlook
was very gloomy indeed. The
