Arctander, Jan. 6.-The year
1908 is now here. We know not
what it has in store for us; the days
as they go by will reveal it. Every
day and year that goes by lays off
that much on our life's trail and
will never come back again. Let
US try to act under settled convic-
tion and an habitual feeling that
we are put here for some purpose
and see whether we also, in our
day and generation, may not per-
form something worthy to be re-
membered and upon which we may
gaze with satisfaction in the years
to come.

Wlllmar Commercial Club.
The annual meeting Of the Will
mar Commercial Club was held last
evening at the club rooms. There
was a large, representative attend
ance. Reports for the past year
were read and discussedsand officers
elected for the ensuing year. E..
c. Wellin was reelected president;
c. B. Carlson was elected vice pre-
sident: T. o. Gilbert was reelected
secretary and c. w. Odell treasurer.
The following were chosen as exec
utive COMMUNICATION Crosby, N.
0. Nelson, 0. B. Berkness, G.. H.
Bitterness, V. E. Lawson, D. N. Tall
man and l.. 0. Thorpe.
The Club decided to join with the
local C. E. society in an invitation
to the State c. E. Association to
hold the biennial meeting at Will
mar next July. and the sum of $1OO
was pledged for the purpose of as
sisting in the entertainment.
Under the able administration of
President Wellin and Secretary Gil
bert the club has accomplished a
great deal of work during the past
year, especially when the limited
means and scanty support given
them is considered. A commercial
club, representative Of the business
interests Of the city, is absolutely
necessary forHthe we'll being of the
town. 1t furHishes an opportunity
for social intercourse among the
business men Of the city and pro-
vides medium thru which public
questions may be discussed and ac-
tion for the public benefit be in
augurated. lt~is believed that dur
ing the coming year the club will
show a deeAed growth both in
membership in the amount of
work accomp( (lsh7G. and this was in
dicated by the interest shown and
the sentiments expressed at the an
nual meeting.
