Rev. Wolburn will preach the men,
orlal sermon in the Methodist church
where the G. A. r. will go in body
as per custom of years. Rev. Wolburn
will give very strong sermon and
every old soldier is urged to be pres
ent. 1t is day of memories and SEN
timent to all. The ghosts of the dead
stalk down the isle and hover around
their companions yet living. 1t

tunities, yet of victories achieved
lighting self of which no one but
soldier can appreciate or realize. Let
all go and listen.
The reception of the mothers of the
town to the teachers of the High
school was postponed Wednesday on
account of the rainy weather. The
intent of the reception was noble and
inspiring to the teachers. The asso-
Citations of these two bodies in the
past two years have been pleasant
and beneficial for the two factors,
wiel.ing the greatest influence in the
chlld's life, have come to understand
each other and to closer sympathize
with the cares and duties Of each,
more than ever before. The mothers
have come to understand what it is
to be put in room wilh forty-fve or
fifty pupils and have that many pull
ing at your nerves, and the sympathy
has become broader and deeper and
they recognize that when their child
complains it may not always be the
fault of the teacher but that their own
hopeful may also be at fault.
The ladies of the Columbian Club
met in social way last Friday at the
home of Mrs. ]. A. Nash and spent
the afternoon in manner befitting to
the occasion and commensurate with
the IDEAS of its membership. One of
the questions settled was if the club
should entertain the State Federation
of Women's Clubs at their winters
meeting and by common consent they
decided so to do. Mrs. Nash is one of
the state officers who has the deciding
of the location and it is useless to say
that if it would rebound any to the
benefit of the Columbian Club which
it surely will, that lady would swing
it this way for she has ever been found
in the harness giving time, thought
and ability to the interests of the club.
1t will be no small honor to the club
to have the state meeting here but
there is no town in the state where
the ladies could be entertained in nicer
| homes or more pleasant companion
ship than here.
The members of the congregation
of the Presby terrain church rendered
q reception 10 their new pastor Rev.
Connybeare and wife, Tuesday night,
in the church and large portion of
their own congregation and Metho-
dists and Christians were present to
bid them welcome to the community
and to share in the kindliness and
good will. The new pastor is de-
lighting his congregation with strong
and eloquent sermons and is proving
upjto the high standard that his eff
Gent and able work in the past has
recommended him capable of doing.
He has the power of making himself
at home with all classes and grades of
society and will be potent factor in
developing high ideals in the town.
After all had visited for time at the
reception, the ladies served ice cream
and cake to all present.
