Autos Turn Lett From Behind.

Automobiles should remember
that in coming up to team from
behind they are supposed to turn to
the left, thus leaving the right
side of the road for the slower We
hicle. There have been a number
of complaints lately that autoists
do not generally observe this rule,
and that as a consequence there has
been some narrow escapes from
collisions.

The Minerva Literary society
met at Georgeville Sunday evening
with a large attendance. A good
program was rendered. The sing.

was especially good. The question
for debate was: Resolved, that
foreign labor should be excluded
from the U. S." Both sides of the
question were very we'll defended
by the speakers. but the negative
proved to be victorious, as it was
defended mainly by Edw. Sonste.
gard, who is foreigner himself
and did great justice to the side he
spoke on. On account of the peo-
pie being very busy during this
season, the Minerva decided to take
a "lay-off' till next fall and will
hold its first meeting the first Sat,
urday in October. The Minerva
has been great success and young
and old have been very interested
and taken active part and helped
the meetings along. Now we sin.
cerely hope that this won't break
up our meeting, but that everybody
who has faithfully worked in the
society the past year will take up
the work in the fall again the same
way and push the good thing
along. For our young boys and
girls who have no other chance of
improving their intellectual train
ing, good literary and debating
society is the place where they get
a good practice to get over their
embarrassed and nervous feeling in
coming up before an audience.
There were many of the members
Of the society last fall who could
hardly say more than Ladies and
Gentlemen" when they got up, who
can now get up and defend almost
any question put up for debate.
"Practice makes perfect and we
hope our members will continue
next fall as they have the past year.

conditionally and may be used by the
board of trustees in any way they
may deem for the best interest of
the institution, whether it be in put
ting up new buildings, repairing old
ones, or adding to the endowment
fund. The disposition of the fund
will be determined upon at the meet
ing Of the board during the com
mencement in June.
In a letter to President Harms:
DR.. Pearsons says: II have given
my money nearly all away and I am
happy in doing it," He has given
Newberry college $4,000.

THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
Meeting on Wednesday Afternoon
Outing Being Arranged-Some
Things The Association has
Done.

The Civic association will hold a
regular meeting in the rooms Of the
chamber Of commerce on Wednesday
afternoon at five o'clock. The pres
ident urges that every member OF
the association who can possibly do
so attend this meeting, as there are
matters Of Importance to be consld-
cred. If every member could also
bring in a new member at this meet
ing it would show the interest that
the members are taking.
The association has accomplished a
good deal since it's organization and
the work which has already been
done will bear fruit in the future.
Through the efforts Of the associa-
ton and with the permission Of the
trustees the city council permitted
the association to have the use Of the
street force and Rosemont cemetery
has been cleaned up and put in excel
lent condition.
The trash ordinance suggested by
the Civic association and endorsed by
the board of health has been passed
by the city council.
The association is planning lit
tie outing to a nearby city in order
that the members may see what has
been done at ot,,-er places, and
through the courtesy Of President
Childs, of the c., n. & L. railroad,
the members will be taken on this
trip complimentary. At the meeting
on Wednesday afternoon this mat
ter will also be considered and the
date of the outing agreed upon.
Speaking of the work done in
Rosemont, if the owners Of lots
would now spend a little more time
in having their lots put in good con-
dition, it would add very much to the
appearance of the cemetery.
While the work Of the association
has been slow of necessity, yet a
great deal has been accomplished, and
the members and officers should be
encouraged to go forward. It is
only question Of time, if the mem
bers hold out, before the citizens of
the community generally will give
their hearty cooperation and wonder
why they had not done so all the
time.

ROSEMONT CEMETERY.
Four Ladies Elected on Board o
Trustees-Cemetery Has Been
Cleaned.

At meeting Of the trustees of
Rosemont cemetery few days ago
four ladies were elected as advisory
members to the trustees These la
dies are Mrs. James Mcintosh, Mrs.
L. w. Floyd, Mrs. Bernice Martin,
and Miss Fannie Mclaughlin.
This is a step in the right direc-
ton by the trustees, and these ladies
being active members Of the Civic
association, will cooperate with the
trustees in looking after the keep
of the cemetery. Already the city
council, through the efforts of these
ladies and the Civic association has
had the cemetery streets and grounds
cleaned up and put in excellent con-
dition.
It is to be hoped now that the own
ers of lots who have not already done
so will have their lots cleaned and
kept in good condition.
This should be made a very beau
tiful place and if the owners of lots
will cooperate with the ladies, who
are now members of the board of
trustees, and with the members Of
the Civic association, we are satisfied
that it will always be kept in most
excellent condition.
