with a degree Of ferocity unparalleled by
any other crime.

The annual convention of the
Cherry county W. G. T. L. will
convene in Valentine June 20th
and 21st. Notices of the same
will be given from time to time.
Let everyone plan to attend all
meetings. A gold medal contest
will be held the first night of the
convention. Let US all get busy.
The work on the kitchen is in
progress. We are considering the
advisability of opening a dining
ball for the benefit of the normal
students. The matter will no
doubt be discussed and decided at
the next meeting of the w. G. T.
o., which will be next Tuesday e,
May Z. We do earnestly urge
every member to be present so
that all may have a voice in this
matter. We have a large sum of
money to raise, so let us all put
our shoulder to the wheel.
The silver medal contest, held
Tuesday night was we'll patronized
and we believe truly appreciated
The six young school girls who
contested for the medal all did
admirably. The markings of
those who ranked first and second
was very close. Maud Rector
carried off the medal. The tele-
phone dialogue by three young
boys took we'll, and did it not
show plainly that a dry town is
more prosperous than wet? All
who have won silver medals among
the young people whether here
or elsewhere e-are requested to
secure pieces for the gold medal
contest by applying to Mrs. Moon
superintendent of contests. Also;
all others who have won medals
years ago, or, in other words, all
who hold contest medals of any
kind, are requested to meet at the
nj. +, church on Sunday at hall

Nj. r.. Church Notes.

The regular meeting of the Of
fetal board will be held in the
church on Tuesday afternoon, at
3 o'clock. All members are urged
to be present.
The annual business meeting Of
the Epworth League for the elec-
ton of officers will be held at the
M. f.. parsonage Tuesday, May
Z, at s p. M. 1t is earnestly re-
quested that all members attend.
The hour for the evening SER
vices have been changed for the
summer months so that the Ep-
worth League services on Sabbath
evening will be held at Z o'clock
in place of $50 and the evening
preaching service at s o'clock in
stead of 1880.
If the friends and members of
the NJ. f. church would make a
little extra effort to be at all the
services promptly at the hour ap-
pointed it would add greatly to the
interest of the service and avoid
great deal of unnecessary con-
fusion caused by those who come
in late, and would add greatly to
the encouragement of the pastor.
Friends, did you ever stop to
think that the pastor of a church
needs a little encouragement from
the members, and that no word of
compliment is equal to a regular
attendance of the services
by the membership of the
church. A person who makes it q
point to come to the services three
or four times a year frequently
comes to the pastor and pays him
some high compliment upon bis
sermon, but suchcom pliments are
not appreciated by the average
pastor who is anxious to build ul
the interest of Christ's kingdom
Friends, will you not encourage
US by regular attendance at al
tho services unless detained by
sickness or some other unavoidable
