it is thought, to change of climate, but

himself and wants company, and that
the troubles of married life, as aired in
the divorce court, has no terors for

few friends of the old gentleman. Be-
fore the guests departed sumptuous
luncheon was served. Among those
present were the families of ]. H. Culp
Reeves, Stearns, Ira D. Edwards, DR..
Hutchinson and H. E. Carr. Though
80 years of age, yet Mr.. Merriam en-
tered into the meriment of the eve
ming as though he were so years
younger.
The meeting for men only, and boys
II years OF age and over, at the M. E.
church last Sunday afternoon, was not
largely attended, owing partly to in
clement weather and counter attrac-
tions. Rev. ]. o. Hawk gave heart
to heart talk and made strong plea
for civic righteousness and pointed out
the urgent need of greater watchful-
ness and care on the part of parents in
safeguarding the moral welfare of the
children of the community. Much
interest was manifested by those pres
ent and the wish was expressed that a
similar meeting be held frequently.
