The GAINESVILLE Strike Situation.

The strike situation is much the
same as it was when we went to
press last week. Everything is quiet
and the men who are at work at the
mine come from and to their work
without interference from the strik-
ers, which is certainly a great i'm
provement over the condition OF
week before last.
Nick Vanderpool, another striker,
was arrested Monday, on charge OF
disturbing the peace of J. E. Peter
son, a workman at the mine. He
denies the charge and gave bond for
his appearance at circuit court. The
strikers are still picketing the trains,
which means that they meet the
trains to turn back any miners who
may come here to work in the mine.
The company claims it's force is
rapidly increasing and that they ex-
pect that the output will soon be up
to the volume before the strike

Magazine Club.

The annual banquet of the Maya
zine Club, of the vicinity of Crown,
was held Friday evening at the home
of Mr.. Clabe Brazelton, which with
their neighbors and friends made
quite a festive occasion. After spend
ing considerable time in the supper
room, which all enjoyed to the ut
most, they assembled in the spacious
parlor to listen to the musical and
literary program which followed. All
the numbers of the program we're
much enjoyed by an attentive an-
dience, afterwhich a pleasant social
time was enjoyed, the guests depart
ing at a late hour and wishing such
occasions might come more frequent
ly, but feeling loathe to give up the
Brazelton family from their midst.

Hubbell-RObinsOn.

i. A very pretty but quiet wedding
was soleminized on Thursday at the
home of DR.. Robinson, the contract
ing parties, Chlona J. Robinson and
paul E, Hubbell are both extremely
we'll known locally, the former being
the only daughter Of DR.. and Mrs.
j. w. Robinson, and has lived In
the locality for many years past.
Miss Robinson graduated from the
Grand River High School with honors
in 1908, and is a musician Of no
mean ability, and has been organist
,of the Christian church for several
years. She will be greatly missed
by q large circle of friends.
The groom was for some years
editor of our own Local. The beau
tiful and impressive ring service
which united the happy couple was
performed by Rev. s. P. Williamson,
Pastor of the Christian church. Only
q few intimate friends witnessed the
ceremony those from out of town
Iowa, the room mate of the bride
while at Drake University, and Mr..
George A. Peake, the schoolmate of
the groom. Mr. and Mrs. H. A.
Johnston were the guests from town.
The bride was attired in a charm
ing dress of delicate cream messaline
made semi-princess style. 1t was
trimmed with dainty frills and puff
ing of the material, and embroidered
with gold beads and pearls. She
carried a beautiful boquet of brides
roses a gift from the groom. The
groom wore the conventional black.
After the ceremony the entire
party adjourned to the City Hotel
where a splendid four course dinner
was served by Mrs. Edwards, the
merits of which we're inexpressible.
The many presents received by the
bride and groom were both valuable
and useful.
The young couple left on the 1886
train for Chicago, after bidding good
bye to a large company of friends at
the depot. The usual shower of
and rice were very
much in evidence.
The brides travelling suit was ma
w blue serge. The future home of
Mr. and Mrs. Hubbell will be at 1886
north 4lst Court, Chicago, Illinois.

Everybody is Talking About the St.
St. Louis Republic.

And indeed there is something to
talk about. Where there's smoke
there's fire. Things are happening
at the Republic. Its new editor,
Horatio w. Seymour, has his own
ideas about making newspaper.
And Republic readers seem to think
they are pretty good ideas, too. They
are tickled with the crisp, spicy little
paragraphs of editorial comment
which appears each day; they are
delighted with the good, sound, mill
tant Democracy-old fashioned, jeff
ersonian Democracy-and. the mer-
CHESS exposure of Republican falla-
cies and misrule; they are laughing
over the caricatures and funmaking
cartoons; they are interested in the
stories of strange, novel things that
happen in every day life and recog-
nize the superior manner in which
the news in general is given; they
are pleased with the new dress The
Republic is wearing-clearer type
and more open lines.
The enlarged size of The Republic,
it's enlarged staff of writer's, it's en-
larged facilities for obtaining and
printing the, news and the livelest
and best editorial page in the Miss
issippi Valley are making the St.
Louis Republic the most talked of:
the most interesting and the cheap
est newspaper, value considered, to
be had by the residents of Missouri
and contiguous territory.

tContinued from last week.
There were good times on the long
winter evenings, when the dear
mother. (wbo had taught school and
attended college, too acted as their
school teacher IN the pleasant "even-
study. and To read the best books.
They early tried To put their thoughts
in writing, and often composed little
essays. and even verses.
When Frances was twelve, real
schooldays began in the little district
schuolhouse. When she was seven
teen she went To Milwaukee, and be-
came student in the Milwaukee
female college. In the spring Of 1858
when Frances was in her nineteenth
wear, the family moved TO Evanston,
Ill.,, where the two farmers daughters
entered the Woman's college.
The story of Frances +. Willard
after that is the story Of great
teacher and great leader She was
well trained. and she began 10y ira in
! ing Others. From teaching little
district school on the Illinois prairies
she rose in a few years TO the dean"
or head, Of the WOman's college in
Evanston, of which she was a gradu-
ate. The great work OF her lite how
ever. was that of u public leader and
reformer.
When Fran ces was girl Of sixteen
she cut . temperance pledge from a
children's paper, pasted IL in the fam
lily Bible, and insisted upon its being
signed by every mem Der of the family
father, mother. brother, sistar and
self.
Looking back the fifty years since,
that incident seems prOphetic-fOr in
1874 Miss Willard resigned as dean OF
the Woman's college in Evanston,
and entered upon the temperance
work which was the great work OF
her life. That year she became pres
ident of the Chicago Woman's Christ
ian Temperance union: later she be =.
came state president, and national
secretary. In 1879 she was made
president of the National w. G.. Il.
U. Four years later she founded and
became president of the Worlds w.
G.. T. u, now established in more
than fifty countries.
For nineteen years Miss Willard
was the organizer aud leader Of the
greatest temperance movement the
world has known. She also worked
for woman suffrage and the equal
rights OF women and men. And when
her work ended in 1898, she was one
OF the most loved and honored women
Of her time
One notable tribute has been paid
To the memory of this famous women,
who sixty years ago was an unknown
girl III Wisconsin farmhouse. In
the Capitol at Washington is the
National Hall Of Statuary, in which
each state may place two statues OF
