| Our squaw weather of Sunday fore
noon has cleared away and the far
mers are out husking earnestly in
their corn fields.
The Scharff family have rented a
farm near Wright from Mr.. Unsicker
and will move thereto in the spring.
We are sorry to lose these good peo-
pie from the neighborhood.
]. G. Masteller will have a public

purchased a home there and will en-
ter retired life for the present.
Miss Grace Boyd will go shortly to
Chicago where she will take special

Born, to Mr.. and Mrs. C. w. Ander-
son, Tuesday, Nov. s, 1907, a fine baby
girl. ALI doing nicely. 1t is known
that Charley talks loud, but listen to
that music in his corn field. 1t
sounds louder than the Innes Band,
doesn't it?
The writer and family visited Sun
day at the R. A. Masteller home in Os-
kaloosa and spent very pleasant day
and partook of a bountiful dinner. We
did not question Dick as to where he
got the chicken; in fact, we're too
busy. And from the appearance of
the bins in his basement, it would In
dictate that he was able to meet his
friends as well as the money situation
for some time to come.
The Ladies' Aid Society and the
Woman's Country Club met at the
Steddom home Thursday afternoon of
last week. The fore part of the af-
ternoon was given to the CLUB" who
spent the time mostly in reciting
quotations from different authors, The
Ladies' Aid occupied the balance of
the afternoon in their regular business
meeting, all being followed by two
course refreshment which was thor
oughly enjoyed by all. We believe
these good ladies are inditing great
work and the fact of there being five
new members added to their list that
afternoon shows that it is growing in
strength and popularity in the COM
munity.
The Quarterly meeting was well at
tended Sunday evening despite the
bad weather. A series of meetings
began Monday evening at Lacey and
will continue few weeks, conducted
by the regular pastor, Rev. Hehner.
| About twenty-five of our young peo-
pie met with Miss Grace Masteller
Thursday evening and had masquer-
ade party and good time generally.
There were all kinds of representa-
tons present, some even resembling
Mother Goose's Ghost, Fairies, Spooks,
and everything you could think of that
goes to make up first-class masquer-
ade. 1t was about one O'Clock by the
| time lunch was served and the happy
boys and girls disappeared. There
were also entertained at this home
over Sunday, Pearl Gwinn, Mona
Trout, Leo Hwelfkoff and Mr.. and
Mrs. Roy Graft.
There were about 100 people in the
community assembled at Lacey Tues
day evening, Nov. 5, for the purpose of
rendering the new pastor, Rev. Heb
ner, and family, reception on their
entering this new field of work for
the coming year. The arrangements
and management were by the Ladies'
Aid of this place and we feel that they
are to be congratulated on the splen-
did success of the evening. The ex-
ercises began with some instrumental
music, then the two little Misses Nc
Cune each gave a recitation. Orr
Downey demonstrated how it was time
before Christmas-to be 'just
as good as you kin be-" Miss Olive
Graham gave recital, but Samantha
noticed they called her back and had
her say it over again until she said ii
right. AS to the music, we want to
say it was not by any means all a
"quack, quack, quack," but just enough
of mirth and good cheer to make il
what 1t should be. Following the pro
gram refreshments of fruit and every
kind of cake known to the bakers
sanctum and coffee were served in a
neat and quiet manner At the gen
eral wind-up the minister and his
family we're presented with some ar
ticles which were brought in from
many directions, all being tokens Of
esteem and appreciation Of his good
work which viii follow the coming
