valeatise Tea.
ODD FELLOWS HALL. FEBRUARY IL.

The preparations for the Valentine
Tea entertainment. to be held Satur-
day afternoon from $50 until s O'Clock,
have been completed, and embrace
some novel features, one being the in
auguration Of . plan TO raise one mile
row Of dimes laid side by side. Any
one can subscribe for any number Of
feet or inches which they will cover
with dimcs--any one can take share,
one dime up. The money TO complete
. mile Of dimes 10 needed for the work
the Woman's Board tof the Hospital
has In view this year. Perhaps some
plan will be announced at the enter
tainment how the dimes are TO be COL
lected.
As there will only be the May Break
fast this year in addition to the present
entertainment to unite the friends So
cially, 1t is hoped that not only will
there be the largest attendance ever
before had at the Tea, but that the
occasion be made an opportunity for
the willing friends TO send in cash con-
tributons to help meet the coming
emergencies, in accordance with their
designs for the entire year. Ii in this
way, together with the collection of a
mile of dimes, the ladies will raise a
sufficient sum, they will have no
further occasion to call for further aid
this year to complete all their present
plans.
We need not here repeat, what was
stated last week, rs To the extra out
lays to be made this year, except to
refer to the large addition TO be made
to the Hospital building--now on the
way to ompletion-whieh will have
to be furnished aud made ready at
once for the increased calls for accom-.
mediation for new patients, and relieve
those in the over crowded rooms.
Our Hospital is an institu ton which
Is accomplishing an immense amount
of good of which all its friends may
we'll be proud, for 1t Is In part due to
their generosity in contributing funds
to meet its continuous growing needs.
While the Woman's Board have per-
feet reliance on the constant sympathy
and generous help given them in car
rying on the work they have assumed,
In raising funds that the Hospital be
maintained, they cease not to adopt any
method that offers to win the entire
public to assist them In their philan-
thropic work.
AT the Tea, Saturday afternoon and
evening, there will be fancy and useful
articles on sale, together with home-
made candy, cake and ice cream.
A Valentine Table, with Flowers.
A good supper, and abundant for %
cents.
Those who can afford il might do
great kindness in taking children and
grown people, who cannot afford 1t, 10
have treat that will be a blessed de-
light they will long remember, and 1t
will react on their benefactors.
There Will be orchestral music from
three TO s o'clock.
The ladies have done their part TO
get up pleasant social enle rtainment.
Now 1t is for their friends and the pub
lie TO show their appreciation of the ef-
fort of the ladies and the beneficent
purpose i'm which they are engaged, to
see that the Valentine Tea Is made a
most successful affair

The visit, this week, OF Governor
| Frank II. Weeks TO this city, was an
event that is calculated To affect the
interests of our city and change theeur-
rent of thought OF our people In some
important direction. The speakers
aud they were all direct In praise and
advice --were we'll received and their
remarks were gratifying.
The Governors speech was the event
of the evening as II was expected 10 be,
and gave satisfaction, as was manifest
ed by the applause. We give It in full,
but for want Of space have to give the
substance only OF the other addresses.
The entire proceedings were happily
carried through, with one exception
there was no band music, the leader
of the band having been taken sudden
iy i'll, and consequently there was no
music.
The fact that the coming here Of Co
vernon Weeks is the first visit Of any
State Executive 10 our city is Gauss for
much qualification. Our citizens have
a right TO feel that IL exalts our city
into greater prominence, and Its effect
will be Of lasting good. especially rs
they had so many good things TO say
OF our city. Judge Back, particularly,
who spoke SO commendingly Of our
merchants in their enterprise and taste
In advertising their goods, especially
! by their beautifully dressed show Win
dows. He liked to see other places than
his own prosper, a. the prosperity OF
one benefited the rest.
The Governor said Of our city: "to
Putnam belongs much of the credit for
! the enviable position that Connecticut
| holds ia the sisterhood OF States He
also referred TO the public spirit Of its
| citizens In organizing BUSINESS Mems
Association, through which, q great
good can be accomplished by the united
! efforts ofits people. But all should read
! the full report given herewith.
| The Governor arrived on the 1892
| train from Hartford. lie was met by
I
President Wheaton and delegation
| from the Putnam Business Mems AS
ISOLATION. The party then walked TO
the Putnam Inn, Sergeant Of Police
Patrick Hayes leading the way. Fol-

/ Al seven o'clock the governor en-
tered the dining fubm and the assem-
blage arose. Ills exceIIency was intro
duced by President Wheaton, who said
there would be an opportunity to greet
him and shake him by the hand later.
The governor expressed his pleasure 1t
being present. Rev. r. ID. Sargent
pronounced the invocation. Seated ct

In Memory of William II. Ware.

While the earth was covered with
its beautiful mantle of Snow, the
Angel of death, visited the home of
| 5, J. Ware and sought out his faith
er, William I'll. Ware, one of the
most venerable men and strongest
characters that ever lived in Mon
roe County.
Uncle Billie, as he was generally
known, was born in Laurens Co.
South Carolina, Oct. the 4th., 1920,
and died Dec. the 18th, 1909. Age,
SO Years, one month and 20 days.
He married Miss Elizabeth Huen
in 1871, and moved to Lowndes
County, Miss. in 1914 and from
there to Monroe County, in 1S49,
and lived in the same neighborhood
until his death. He was farmer by
trade: a good one. He was very in
dustrious and frugal, and accumu-
lated considerable property. As a
citizen, he had no peers, and few
equals. Always ready to discharge
the several duties incident to good
citizenship. In politics. he was true
and advocated the ministration
of Government in an economical
way, believing in all reforms recess
airy to keep the Government pure.
AS a soldier, he enlisted in the Con-
federate Army and served until the
close of the civil war. As chris
tan he was ever ready to do what
he could for the advancement of
the church of the Lord Jesus Christ
and for the elevation and better
ment of humanity. He joined the
Baptist Church at Border Springs.
in Iowndes County, Miss, Sept.
1915, and moved lis mem bership
to New Prospect Church, in Mon
roe county, in which church he
spent the remainder of his life and
delivered many valuable exhorta-
tons, exhorting Christians to live
up to a full discharge of duty and
exhorting sinners to repent of their
sins and believe in the Lord Jesus
Christ. Ae was not a preacher in
the strictest sense. and yet he
preached all the time. He was a
valuable deacon of said church
more than fifty years. ever looking
after the financial interest of the
church and contributing literally of
his own means to all good causes.
Deacons and others would do well
to pattern after his life. May the
God of all grace comfort and con-
sole all those who are left on ac-
count of his departure and may we
also live that we can be with him
up yonder where parting is no
more. A BROTHER DEACON.
