Holds Reception

A reception was held October "a
at the First Baptist church in hon
or of their pastor and family, Bro.
J. II. Cheney and wife. The CON
gregation is certainly to be CON
graduated in having secured such
an able man as Brother Cheney.
A program was rendered during
the evening consisting of addresses
and music. The address of wei
come was given by the Methodist
pastor, Rev. J. J. Patton. 1t was
certainly fine address, full of love
and the spirit of unity for his fellow
Christian workers. The second
number on the program was a very
important feature, which was per
formed by Brother Weisle, pastor
OF the First German Baptist church
and that was 'tieing the knot" or,
in other words, the marriage of
OF the pastor to the church. After
the ceremony was performed, we
had some very good remarks from
our new pastor, which was certain.
ly we'll appreciated and which will
be remembered.
The church has taken up new
interest in the work in all lines un-
der our new pastor. The young
mems quartet gave musical Sc
lection which was highly appreciat.
ed by all present. There was a
large representation of the church
present, besides a great many OF

Fair a Success

Good crowds have been attend

at the St. Johns rink. No admis-
sion is charged The interior pre-.
sents scene of life and interest.
Many things there are to beguile
the long evenings. One of the
most beautiful sights is the school
booth artistically decorated with
pictures, Mexican work and sofa
pillows. Then there is domestic
booth, fish pond and genuine coun.
try store where most anything from
a pin to a calico wrapper may be
procured at prices most reasonable.
II things don't exactly fit it is not
the stores fault, and with a little
patience YOU may grow into them.
Then there's the wheel of fortune,
where you always stand a chance
of getting your money back, and
then some. If feasting your eyes
upon the many interesting sights
makes your stomach jealous, a res
taurant is at hand to satisfy the
warnings of the inner man. But
above all is the many handsome
young ladies who do their best to
entertain and make you feel at
home. Under the belief that all
mankind yes, and womankind-I
are more or less lucky, a smiling
invitation is extended to try your
luck. II would not be a fair were
it otherwise. If You haven't yet
