The Children's day exercises we're
held at the Christian church last Sun

Corder is certainly on the boom
this year In addition to all previous
additions we are glad to note that an
automobile is now owned by two
young business men of the city,
Leo Wollerman and Arthur
Frerkiug. The machine is a "red
devil" of the Maxwell make. The
owners have been doing some nice
iiding since the machine arrived last
Friday and both of the gentlemen,
we think, will turn out to be good
chaufeurs. Several other men OF the
city intend to secure machines.
Last Sunday the Corder ball team
played game with Higginsville. A
large crowd of spectators was pre-
sent from Higginsville and Corder
and on account Of the heat the wa

game was interesting to the Corder
spectators because Corder scored so
many more than the visitors that II
was actually a shame to take the
money. But towards the last the
game hvened up little. Notw'th-
standing this fact the score read as
follows: Cordsr, l3-. Higginsville, IL.
Miss Hannah Groves entertained
the pupils of her Sunday school class
and their friends at reception last
Friday night at her home on North
Lafayette street. Miss Hannah re
ceived the guests and the fun began.
The yard was beautifully illuminated
oy gas lights which made it appear
as II it we're the place Tor such an
occasion. The hostess assisted by her
sister, Miss Joda, did all within her
power to make the evening a pleas
ant one and it proved up to her ef-
forts. At an early hour Of the evening
the party adjourned to the parlor
where games Of every sort and de-
scription we're indulged in. About 10
O'Clock the guests we're called to
light refreshments consisting Of
strawberries, ice cream and cake.
Soon after refreshments the crowd
was startled by the appearance Of
two ghostly looking personages who
ran through the crowd in very life
like manner and caused all the
neighbors to be aroused by the ter
