by every Woodman who had the
privilege of hearing him. While
following the line of argument pre-
sented by all effective speakers in the
interest Of fraternal insurance, Mr.
Boak went farther and spoke for
righteousness and faithful service in
all forms of government-city, county,
state and national-in the United
States, and pleaded eloquently for the
support of every movement or organi-
zation that has for its object the up
lifting and betterment Of mankind.
His tribute to the memory OF the late
Head Consul Falkenburg was beauti-
full and touching and made a deep
impression upon every Woodman
present. Head Consul Boak is an
earnest forcible speaker, and has the
power of holding the closest attention
of his hearers at all times.
Excellent music was furnished for
the entertainment by the Woodmen
orchestra and the Monmouth band.
The latter organization, under the
able direction of Prof. Frank Lucas,
furnished two numbers that was
greatly enjoyed. Mrs. J. 9. Uglow,
one of Dallas favorte vocalists, sang
with charming effect "My Dream, "
by Tosti, and in response to an encore
gave Nevin's mighty LAX Rose. "
Miss Georgia Shriver delighted her
hearers with "The Sweetest Story Ever
Told" and for an encore sang Coax
Me-" The members of Dallas Camp
deeply appreciated the kindness of
Mrs. Uglow, Miss Shriver, Miss Olive
Smith, Prof. William Caldwell, the
Monmouth band and the local orches-
ira in assisting in the musical pro-
gram.
One of the enjoyable features OF the
evening was the exhibition drill by
the Monmouth team, under the direc-
tion of Captain Fl. d. Whitman.
Difficult manoeuvers were executed
with skill and precision, showing
painstaking practice on the part OF
the Captain and his men. The team
presented a neat appearance in their
rich blue uniforms.
After the exercises were concluded
an informal reception was held to
give the people Of Dallas an oppor-
tunity to meet the distinguished guests
of the evening. An hour later, the
big crowd dispersed, and the most en-
ioyable social event in the realms Of
Woodcraft in Polk county passed into
history.
Any account Of this great fraterna.
meeting would be incomplete without
mention of the beautiful decora
tions in the hall. Roses, chrysan
themums, ferns and palms were
everywhere in evidence, and the hand
some effects obtained called fortt
many compliments from the guests o.
the evening. The decorations were il
charge Of a committee consisting o.
Mrs. Frank Kerslake, Mrs, J. E. Sib
ley and Mrs. H. P. Shriver.

The Fayette Soldiers Did Not Desert.

Fayette, Miss, Sept. 25. The
statement given out by the State
Board of Health Saturday to the
effect that soldiers of the Fayette
company who were on guard duty
at Harriston deserted when yell
low fever was announced at that
place is a mistake and does the
soldiers a great injustice. When
the Fayette company was placed
on duty at Harriston it was for
the purpose of upholding the reg
ulations passed by the Board of
Mayor and Aldermen of that
town. The facts in the case are
that when fever was announced at
Harriston, Lieut.. Knapp got in
communication with the governor
at once and informed him of the
situation, telling him that the To-
cal authorities of Harriston- no
longer had any use for the militia
Try company, and asking him what
to do. Governor Vardaman told
Lieut.. Knapp to go, whereupon
the lieutenant informed him that
| the company would be unable to
| get into Fayette. The governor
told him to take the company to a
detention camp and remain there
for six days on full pay and then
to 60 home, and this was done.
The boys are now in camp. They
would have remained at Harriston
had the authorities desired their
services, but were informed that
they were not needed. 1t is prob
able that the person who reported
the desertion was not informed of
the true state of affairs and Jump
ed at conclusions.
About third of the people of
Fayette have left here for the
country, and some Of them to
points in the North, but bust ness
