A special session of the Masons lodge |
was held last night for the purpose of |
COME n upon T. 6. Sorenson the de-
gree OF master mason. Messrs. John /
Sorenson, Rosenberg, Mitchell, Smith |
and Brown, of Giendive, and John
Mckay, of Lee, besides many mem
bers of the order from outlying districts
were present and assisted in the work.
After the conclusion Of the ceremonies
banquet was held. A general good
time is reported.
Robert Darnell came in from his
ranch on the Missouri valley yesterday
in response to information to the effect
that his eight-months-old daughter.
Thelma, was critically i'll with an at
tack of grip. The child is improving
rapidly at this time, however, and will
soon be on the high road to recovery.
| Mr.. Darnell says at the time of leaving
the Missouri valley the range was
quite dry, but believes that the recent
rain and snow was prevalent in that
section.
The baccalaureate sermon delivered
by Rev. r. S. Leland at the NJ. E.
church Sunday evening was we'll a.
tended and highly appreciated by all.
The church was beautifully decorated
for the occasion with flowers, pine
branches, and drapings OF the class
colors-green and white. Rev. Le-
lands remarks to the graduating class
of 1905, composed of Misses Olyve
Marcyes, Fern Cha k and Maggie
Shook, were we'll taken and to the
point. The church was crowded to its
full capacity.
Entertainments of both an instruct
i've and social nature followed each
other in such rapid succession last
week that it was a difficult matter to
keep track of them all. AS terminal
| ing function the reception given by the
| junior class of the high school at the
Odd Fellows hall Friday night, was
very appropriate. Slips of paper upon
which had been written the name Of
place, animal or vegetable, were
pinned upon the back of each guest
upon entering the room. This caused
no little amusement, as some Of the
applications were quite ridiculous.
An entertaining program was given,
after which refreshments, consisting of
sherbet and cake were served in the
dining-room of the hall. The closing
piece was an amusing pantomime en-
acted by Mr.. Whitman Carolin and
miss Josephine Ntzhugh,, to the song
"Clementine All who participated
spent a very enjoyable evening.
The reception to the Rosebud county
teachers given last Thursday night ir
the Odd Fellows hall was a grand
social success. Each number of the
program was good, but so dense was
the crowd that it was indeed difficult
to call them to order SO that the selec
tons could be heard in all parts of the
hall. The principal pastime of the
evening was that of each person getting
acquainted with his or her neighbor
AS means to this end each CUES
i upon entering the hall was given ;
pencil and card that names nigh
: be exchanged, thus doing away will
the formality of an introduction. A
. the opening and closing of the reception
e and interspersed with the program
= were selections by the Dove orchestra
e which were greatly appreciated. Pune
# and waters were served as refresh
4 ments. From appearances all VIII
attened enjoyed themselves immensely
AS the elimination of a successful ir
:, stitute the reception to the teachers wa
indeed social success.
IL At the revival services which close
# Easter more than fifty persons wer
Al converted and the entire, communit
70 has been greatly interested. Fifty
,s eight have united with the church sine
conference. Rev. T. S. Leland, {
Forsyth, assisted Rev. cunningham
y and did splendid work. The reveren
- gentleman is a strong preacher and
- successful evangelist He believes
~ the old fashioned meetings and know
- what it takes to arouse the churc
a. workers as we'll as those who ha'
- never manifested any particular int
~ est in the spiritual welfare of mankin
