A jolly party of Odd Fellows came
down from Georgetown last Saturday to
take part in the comforting of the de-
grees by Wildey Lodge, No. 33. The
party intended returning by the next
morning train but owing to the wreck
and the ten hour lateness of the train
they decided to drive home. Among
those who were present from the
county seat were, Henry Kneisel,
Homer Smelser, Neal Randall and
William Walthers.
Rev. w. M. Dye, pastor of the ME-.
church, had just begun preaching last
Sunday evening. when the whistle of
the belated train that had gone through
the wreck was heard. Some of the au-
dience got restless thinking it was the
fire whistle. The pastor informed them
that it was the train coming in when
little Marshall Hull got up and spoke out
"the train is in the ditch" This con-
vulsed the audience and none enjoyed
the remark more than did Mr.. Dye.

scene of a very pretty gathering last
Tuesday night when Mrs. Rule enter
tained his bible class to the number of
over forty members. Several of the
lady members brought in liberal sup
ply of cakes while the male members
of the class supplied the occasion with
a bountiful supply of ice cream. Dur
ing the evening his daughter, Miss
Beatrice, entertained the visitors with
two excellent vocal solos and one piano
solo. Mrs. E. B Clayton rendered two
piano solos in a manner that was great
y appreciated. The evening was most
most pleasantly spent and when the

leader would be encouraged to great
err work on their behalf.
