The regular meeting of the Gene
terry Association was held at the
Office of Judge Weld last Saturday,
but there being but very few pres
ent it was decided to adjourn until
the last Saturday in January, with
the hope that a larger attendance
can be then secured. The JOURNAL
desires TO say to the people at large,
that all persons having lots in the
cemetery are stockholders and have
a right to be present and vote at
the meetings as we'll as to suggest
any matters that may seem to them
advisable improvements. II is only
by maintaining an interest among
the holders of lots that the GENE
terry can be either improved or even
kept in good condition. While we
believe that there are few cemeteries
in places of the size of River Falls,
that are really better kept or pre-
sent better appearance to visitors,
vet there should be a still greater
interest felt in improving the
grounds and keeping the lots in
presentable condition. In the latter
case each individual owner has a
responsibility. While the drives
and walks can be and are cared for
by the association the work upon
individual lots must fall largely up
on those who own them and it is
for the purpose of having deeper
feeling of responsibility in such
owners that the JOURNAL urges upon
all to attend the meeting to be held
on Saturday, January 30th.

A Good New Years Resolution.

You can make no better resolu-
ton to begin the new year than to
resolve that you will open an ac-
count or make deposit in the new
institution, the First National Bank,
the vely first day they open for bus
mess. You will find it next door to
M. Norseng's, in the Rasmussen
building.
The development of River Falls
and the vicinity has reached a point
where it is deserving of and will
richly support a National Bank 1t
adds twenty-five thousand dollars
to the wealth of River Falls. It's
founders,are bankers of many years
experience and they feel that they
were taking no chances when they
obtained charter to operate a ma
tional bank for period of twenty
years from Jan. 1st, in River Falls.
Mark our prediction. The com
D1ned Dank deposits or R1Ver Falls
will increase one-third within two
years from date of opening of the
First National. Less favored
points have proven this and River
Falls is no exception.
After thoroughly investigating
the financial strength and the integ-
rity of the incorporators, our popu-
lar townsman Roderick McGregor
has accepted position as assistant
cashier and will be glad to meet his
many friends at the new bank. p.
M. Reagan, the cashier and local
manager, will move his family here
as soon as the weather will permit.

Miss Estella -Clough has been
spending the holiday season with
her parents. Miss Clough has a
large class in music FLETCHER meth
ODD in Chippewa Falls and also
plays the pipe organ in the Episco-
pal church there.
Mr.. and Mrs. l. M. Beers and

Christmas with their daughter, Mrs.
Will Farnsworth, whence they pro-
ceeded to Portland, Oregon, Spo-

The most appalling event in the
history of Chicago since the great
fire of 1871 was the burning of the
new Iroquois theater on Wednesday
afternoon when crowded with peo-
pie attending matinee. Five hun
dred people lost their lives. The
fire was caused by the breaking of
an electric light wire which ground
ed, and at once flames were started
which were famed by the current
in the front auditorium and added
to by the gas jets. The panic that
followed was indescribab1e.
The Christmas entertainment at
the Congregational Sunday school
was a great success. The decora-
tions were tree and transparent
star which showed up in fine style.
The exercise was a cantata based
upon the star which was nicely
rendered by those participating in
it. The tree, which reached from
the floor to the ceiling, was one set
out forty years ago by Lyman
Powell, who was the first superin-
tendent of the Sunday school.
Those who received gifts from it
included the wife, the daughter,
the grandchild and the great grand
child of the man who planted the
tree. The pastor of the church to
his complete surprise was the re-
cipient from his congregation of a
handsome great coat trimmed with
otter and lined with water mink fur.
