An enthusiastic meeting was held
in the school house last Sunday af-
ternoon and Junior G. r. society
was the outcome. This is a much
needed organization, as there has
ben no service for the young folks
since the disbanding of the Sunday
school over year ago. Miss Mary
Coe is state superintendent of the
Junior Christian Endeavor societies
and this is the first society organ
lied by the Juniors In town. Our
children were ready to take hold
and seemed to sec that they had
something to do in this neighbor-
hood, and we feel very grateful to
Miss Coe and her efficient workers
for coming out and helping us to help
ourselves.
We are sorry that death has come
into our neighborhood and snatched
the little baby of Mr.. and Mrs,
Charles Chaffee away. But trusting
in loving father we know he
doeth all things for the best. Baby
Chaffee only frightened the home
about six weeks and was never
strong and about two o'clock Tues
day night the little flame OF life
went out. Our neighbors are doubly
bereaved, as Mr.. Chaffee's father
passed away Monday at Spokane
Wash. Mr.. and Mrs. Chaffee left on
Wednesday for that place to bury
their baby and father at the same
time. A brief service was held at the
Chaffee home Wednesday morning
by Rev. Leech.
