 The meeting of the local w. O. T. U. with the president, Mrs. E. J. Holman, on Saturday afternoon, was a pleasant social event. The pro- gram was arranged by Miss Rose o.

The handsome rooms were soon comfort. ably filled. Mrs. Holman presided and Mrs. E. J. Pratt acted as secre- tary. The interesting exercises were interspersed with singing by the union, and by Mrs. w. H. Hall and Miss Ida Hall and by Rev. and Mrs. Darrow. At the close of the program Miss Hall announced that there was another little matter of business to come before the union, and brought forward the much worn bag in which the president had carried her books and papers to the meeting during the 12 years of the unions life, and also a new, handsome, roomy bag adorned with large bow of white ribbon, which she gracefully presented in the name of the union in appreciation of faithful service. The much surprised president feelingly responded. The surprise was continued by the serving of cake and ice cream and pleasant social hour. A letter was read from Mrs. Louise M. Johnson, who told of the many miles driven in company with Mrs. Holman and Mrs Pratt, with the little bag at their feet, to attend meetings in all sections of the town.
