HONOR FOR DAVIS.
Only Member of Orphans
Home Board Retained.

The principal matter of general in
terest attended to at the state meet
ing of the K. of P. grand lodge this
week was the final establishment of
the Pythian home for widows and
orphans at Lexington. Two years
ago the grand lodge decided upon
this action and appointed nine trus-
tees, who bought $4,000 property
near the city Of Lexington, a big
old mansion on a fine farm. Lexing-
ton was to furnish $4,000 of the
money and this money was donated
by Fayette county, which reserved
the right to send widows and orphans
to the home. This provision caused
the grand lodge at its meeting here
last year to refuse to ratify the pur-
chase. This year the trouble was
Strengthened out and the Lexington
lodges put up the cash without any
strings to it and the purchase was
approved and the home will be opened
as soon as. possible.
The old board of commissioners
was abolished and new board of
only five members was elected to
have charge of the home. Mr.. Lucian
H. Davis, of this city, was the only
Of the old board reelected.
This is distinguished honor for Mr..
Davis and a deserved one, for it was
largely by his intelligent manage
ment that the trouble in the title was
finally Strengthened out. He, more
than anyone else, realized the bar
gain in the property bought and op-
posed every move to surrender it,
except as a last resort.

Williams news., 1906-09-08

Quite a number of the young folks of the town enjoyed a moon light truck ride last Tuesday eve ming. Starting about eight o'clock, aboard a two horse truck, with plenty of hay and Navajo blankets. they rode beyond the reservoir, were they unloaded and proceeded to get lunch, by the light of a large bonfire. Ghost stories, games and music were indulged in by moon light and it was 1 o'clock before the young people returned to town. Among those who enjoyed the trip were MT. and Mrs. John Alexander, MT. and Mrs. Edgar A. Brown, Mis- ses, Hansen, Manning, Altha Man ming, Sargent, Francis, Perkins, Messrs Blair, Walters, Wilson. limbaugh, Manning, Baker, Brown.
 The intended erection of Hopi Indian camp house and corral on the north edge of town, at the en- trance to the residence of MT. John Clark, is meeting with considera ble objection from the residents on the Mesa and Mob Hill. It would no, be the most pleasant thing in the world to have Indian freight wagons and horses, burros and the like adorning the lanscape, in that section of the town where the incest residences are located and along the only scenic drive way or at least in full view of it. It would certainly have a tendency to stop all of the improvement that has been going on out in that direction.
 The wedding of MT. c. J. Spell mire, and Miss. Bertha Anna krentz, took place at the Catholic Church in Winslow on ednesday, Rev. T. N. Connolly officiating. The attendants were Mir. Joseph Krentz and Miss Kiloran. The bride and groom went to California on No. 8 Wednesday night and were greeted by quite a large crowd of friends at the depot here.
