TALK OF TIE TOWN

William Devlin and family are
new arrivals from Minneapolis.
Mr.. Devlin is an experienced engi-
necr and comes here to operate the
MCGUIRE steam pillow that will be
placed in commission by the Noun
tain Home Manufacturing Co. in
this vicinity He expects to start
the plow on the George ]. Sherer
place north of town the first OF next
week.
A very pleasant affair was the
second of the birthday socials given
by the Baptist Ladies' Aid Wednes-
day afternoon at the parsonage.
Twenty-three ladies were present
and a very gratifying amount was
added to the treasury. Miss Lila
Eaton delightfully."- entertained with
a number of vocal and mandolin Sc
lections, and much merrimcnt was
created over guessing the ages of
the three hostcsscs.
Under the auspices of the Guild
of the ST. James Episcopal church,
Doctor Mclean, rector OF the
church, will deliver lecture with
Egypt" for his subject. The date
of the event cannot be given at this
time, but announcement will be
made when it has been decided
upon. The reverend gentleman is
known as a scholar of rare attain
ments, and especially we'll versed
in ancient history, and the lecture
will undoubtedly be rare intellec-
tual treat.
The ladies of the Guild of St.
James Episcopal church are to have
a cooked food sale at the Bailey Sif-
fcrt Garrett company's store, next
Saturday, from 2 to O'Clock. At
their last sale their offerings were
so we'll received that their supply
was entirely exhausted but the
ladies have given assurance that at
this sale the supply will be ample.
Certainly the cooked food sales are
proving very popular, not only In
Moufitain Home, but at other places
where the innovation has been in
troduced. Isl.
]. H. Bridgewood,. who has, been
absent two months at his former
home in Ogalalla, Ncb., returned
home Friday, more than ever
pleased with this country. Mr..
Bridgewood is the owner Of the
Levi Mellon place in the north end,
one of the most attractive home
tracts in this vicinity. Mr.. Bridge
wood states that E. ". Knight will
stast on his return trip from Ogalal-
la the goth, and that he will bring
with him a bride to grace his
home here.
There was but small attendance
at the memorial association meeting
Monday night, owing to misun-
Outstanding as to where it was to
have been held, and also to lack
of interest on the part of many who
should have been there. There will
be another meeting, but not until
the return of w. c. Howie from
Chicago, when the date of same will
be announced. The time is now
short for preparations for the proper
observance of Memorial Day and
it is hoped that interest may be re-
vived sufficient to render an ap-
propriate program on that date.
