Iercises; considerable business was
transacted; by unanimous vote it was
decided to hold the meetings at the

forth the reading of an arraignment of
the liquor traffic delivered by George
Hanly, Governor of Indiana, at the
Republican Convention held at India
napolis last month. The report of
recent election held at Paris, H.,
stated that the town had fully 1000
f1oaters;;" six brewers sent $4,000 to
add to a large fund already contributed
to defeat the temperance forces; of
the 1900 foaters" only 80 were able
to vote because of the thorough organ
ization and vigilance of the reform
element all of which resulted in
complete victory for the temperance
forces. Hannah A. Heritage read an
interesting incident showing the ina
bility of kings to change military rul-
ing even when the appeal to their hui
man sympathy was strong while Presi-
dent Lincoln could set aside what
seemed an unjust ruling to conform to
human needs. Mary Owen read a fine
selection, "The Christ of the Andes, T

Our community is shocked almost
beyond precedent by an accident at our
station on Tuesday afternoon AS
Jessie E. Brown. daughter of Mary r.
and Theodore Brown, was taking our
| 4.21 train for her home, she fell in
such a manner that the starting train
caused instant death. The body was
taken on the same train to Swedes-
borO and later to her home. No
young person of this locality was more
! fully identified with the community
and its best interests. She was a will
ing, capable worker in the Grange
First-day School, Young Friends AS
ISOLATION and Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union all of these organizas
tons and host of personal friends
have met with a loss that seems irrep-
arabic.
To the family circle this calamity
must come with almost crushing
weight and friends are powerless to
lessen the sorrow, to them is left the
memory of life that was ever grow
ing toward the light, true to it's high
est conception Of duty and by her
own CHEEKY faithfulness stimulating
the best in others,
