Thursday, June 18th, The meeting
was we'll attended, about seventy
five present. The Wheatland Band
were in attendance and gave us
some good music. The progress this
band has made, for The short time
it has been organized, assures us
that it will be one Of the best bands
in the state before the end of the
season. They favored us with four
choice selections, and every one
received hearty applause from
the club. We are fortunate in hay
inc an organization of such great
ability in our town.

There was some difference Of
oppinion on this. but the majority
were i'm favor of going to Rothiemay
and taking the Wheatland Band
with them. Some we're i'll favor or
celebrating here, but it was decided
as above on account of other towns
near here having celebrations ON
that date and, decided to use all
our efforts in having a good fair in

members spoke in favor of going to
Rothiemay: H. A. Weber, a. G.

HELP BOOST
FOR HARLOW
Some More of the Reasons Why
We Should Boost for
HarI0WtOn.
Our school is a great source

3. Our school is great source
of pleasure. to all of our citizens.
We are justly proud, to think We
have a school and school system,
that is bringing people to our town
to educate their children.
The Schoolhouse was built in
1910, and cost $4,000. 1t has
steam heat and is we'll ventilated,
two story and basement, built
from native rock gives it Il fine
appearance from the railroad. or in
walking up Central avenue.
The High school has been orga-
nized three years. and is making
rapid strides to take it's place
among the other schools of this
state. that have been under way
for many years. Professor See. a
University graduate, has had
charge Of it for the past two years,
and has made an enviabIe record.
He had six teachers in the public
and high school, and each one of
them is worthy of much praise.
The school is one of our best
drawing cards for the town, for
without good schools you cannot
have a good town. Trustees Nc
Guilty, Campbell and Hash deserve
much credit, for their untiring cf-
forts and giving us such a splendid
start in our school system.
A. A town may prosper for a
time without churches, but with
out their influenc, it will not be
long until it is overrun with crime
and undcsirablcs. No good citizens,
such as we desire to build up our
cities in the west, will locate i'm
any town that has no churches.
We are fortunate in having three
good churches here and all of them
are working for the uplifting of
mankind.
The Methodist Episcopal church
situated one block east of Central
avenue is concrete building and
always attracts attention. They
have over 60 members. Rev. Nc
Mahan and Rev. Turner are the
pastors They hold services twice
on every Sunday. They have a
large and enthusiastic Sunday
school.
The Presbyterian church, one
block west of Central avenue is
built of stone. and has Il very fine
appearance. They have not had a
regular pastor for the past six
months. Rev. II. G. Klemme, a
graduate of the Mccormick School
of Chicago arrived on the first of
June to take charge of this congre.
cation. Under his leadership the
attendance is growing rapidly. He
is youg man, full Of enthusiasm
for his work.
The Roman Catholics hold their
services in the old school house at
present. but expect to have their
own church before the end of the
year. They are about to complete
the plans and Specifications for a
magnificent building that will cost
about $4,000. Rev. Ready. their
pastor, is a good booster for the
] town. and one that is doing good
| work for the upbuilding of the
; moral character Of The town.

Knocked Down by a Motor Car.

The hearts of the bystanders went into
their mouths just before noon Tuesday,
when an automobile coming from High
Street around the post Office corner,
struck Lavinia Wetherell and knocked
her down. When the auto was stopped
the little girl was under the middle of the
car. The wheels had not gone over her,
and she was quickly taken out, and ex-
cept for slight bruises and the shock of
the affair, was not injured. A two
horse truck team was standing in front
of the post Office at the time, and some of
the school children coming out OF The
office ran out by the team, and the little
girl stepped directly In front of the auto,
which had swung out around the team.
The remarkable thing about this oc-
currence is that II Ia the first automobile
accident which has happened at that
point. 1t is a place where there Is
large amount of travel, by automobile,
team and on foot, and the driver Of an
automobile, making the square turn in
either direction, can not see ahead more
than two rods just at the turn. The
anto which struck the girl was not run
ming at high speed compared with some
that make that turn. 1t Is nothing
unusual to see q car take that blind
corner at a speed from fifteen to TWEEN
ty miles an hour, and tits more often
those who are apparently strangers to
the road than those who are travelling
over it more frequently. The Democrat
has long expected to look down from Its
windows on a smash-up at that point,
and it is fortunate that the first accident
had no more serious consequences.
