 Whereas, A Almighty God, in his infinite wisdom, has seen fit to call from labor to ref ieshment our brother, George w. Bracket, therefore be it
 Resolved, that while we mourn his un- timely death and recall his zeal and effort for the good of Uriel Lodge, yet we hum ply submit to the will of our Grand Mas ter on high, who has seen fit to remove him, while his work was as yet unfinished, to that world of greater opportunities where, we trust the life that was hardly begun here shall be fully rounded out, filled and completed.
 Resolved, that we extend our sincere sympathies to the bereaved family, with the hope that He, whose thoughts are higher than our thoughts, may comfort and strengthen them in their trial.
 Resolved, that these resolutions be spread upon the records of the lodge and a copy be sent to the family of deceased.

 The Standard Oil company must be figuring on extra large dividends, judging by the quality of oil they have sent into town this winter. One man says he keeps some on hand in case of fire.

 In view of the fact that evangelistio meetings are being held at this time, the suggestion that the customary New Years reception to the pastor be postponed until Feb. 5th meets with favor. The latter date will make it.a birthday party, and no doubt will be as welcome.

Goats made many friends while here before, and he met with hearty welcome on his return. MT. Flan- ders is very wide awake, enthusias. tic singer, and the services are there by made more attractive to many.

The attend ance has not been as large as in some former years, but has not been made up very largely of transients. as has sometime been the case.
 To adequately describe the Christ mas entertainment and give due credit to the several participants therein would take too much space and is too large task for us to undertake, how ever much we should like to. The | entertainment was under the direction | of Miss Ida M. Hall, Miss Alice Den. | man and Miss Elizabeth D. Hall. In | a general way we might say that in the opinion of many this entertain. ment was superior to any that had preceded it. There were two an. thems by the choir, several recitations i
