Walking by the attractive home Of
A. B. Curtis, the other night, the re-
porter's attention was attracted by
the beautiful display of flowers, in the
conservatory which Mr. Curtis has ar
ranged on the second floor Of the house.
Geraniums of all colors were in bloom
and many other Towering plants lent
their aid to the display. Wishing to
inspect them more closely we rang the
bell and was received most graciously
by Mrs Curtis. Elmer Banks, one of
Mr. Curtis efficient and popular clerks,
kindly volunteered to show the flowers
to the scribe. Mr. Banks has the
oversight of them and under his care
they have been in bloom the season
through. The conservatory is enjoyed
quite as much by the public as by MI

BETHEL's OLDEST RESIDENT.
John Mcdowell, probably the oldest
person in the town of Bethel, passed
his oath birthdhy, last week Friday.
He was born in New York City, Feb.
ruary Is. 1907. Uncle Johu, as he is
commonly called retains his mental
faculties to remarkable degree. He is
genial person in conversation to all
who know him and good company fol
young people. No doubt our friend
could keep time to the music and en-
JOY few quick steps without resort
ing to artificial strength. 1t is more
than SO years since your correspondent
in company with Mr. Mcdowell acct
dentally met in the ancient town OF
Woodbury. on Thanksgiving day where
we ate and enj'yed our Thanksgiving
dinner in the home of the late Willis
Judd, who in those days was doing
business in that town. Although oul
friends body has weakened with age
there is much of the same jOvial spirit
left which reminds us of Uncle John ir
the prime Of life. It's our sincere
wish that his present mental condition
continue many more birthdays.

l, in the lower room of the church, at
7.30 O'Clock. Leader. Rev Joseph L.

bitter cold night hindered the first of
these meetings, let us see what now We
can do.
A sOCIABLE AT THE PARSONAGE.
The third sociable for the winter is
to be held at the parsonage on Tues
day evening Of next week, February
| 26. This has been planned as d Farm
ers' Sociable; and what that means
| will be fully explained that evening
Perhaps it would be well for those not
up in the various products of the farm
to do little studying as to their culti-
walton and use. These social gather
ings Of the church people have been
unusually successful this winter, and
this meeting at the center point of the
parish of course will equal any Of its
predecessors.
The prayer meeting room of the
church has been greatly improved in
comfort and appearance by the addi-
ton of new wood stove. With its
large drum for radiating the heat the
biting frosts will have no terrors for
those who have once asse mbled there.
The bright weather of last Sunday
brought out good attendance in Sun

at the Taunton branch.

meeting was led, last Sunday evening,

qua. The publication contains good
gage picture of Mayor Boyle In closing
the report the writer thus compliments
Viroqua and it's citizens:
1t is difficult to convey an adequate or
appreciative IDA of the good fellowship
displayed at 'ae Viroqus conference
The citizens Of Viroqua established a
firm reputation as royal entertainers.
Every attention was shown the visitors
and lasting memories we're carried away
by those whose interest prompted them
to attend In fact it would be difficult
to find city So unified and progressive
as Virequa. The whole city presents
an atmosphere of 'progressiveness of
which it's citizens may justly feel proud.
It's band, business blocks, stores. public
buildings. churches and residences are
concrete evi fences of the activity and
thrift of the community. Such good
spirit as shown by the citizens Of Viro-
qua and reciprocated by the visiting
officers must result in great good to all.
In many respects the conference at
Viroqua was the most successful in the
history of the League.
