The Wurra Wurra Club.

| when the time came 10 open the meet ing President Holsapple had not arrived, and Seneca Strong. the sexton of the club-room, mounted the platform and said If there was no objection he would run the meeting, himself. There wasn't any objection, so Seneca took the gavel, smote the desk smite, and ordered the assembled members to "Look to the east" Then heinstructed Billie Bullock to read the minutes of the last meeting Billie begged to be excused, on the ground that he wasn't present at the last meeting and didn't know a thing about what was done at 1t, or in 1t. The read ing of the minutes was deferred until the next meeting. So was the singing of the Opening Ode.
 Brother Wigglesworth got up and said he would like to make motion that the chair appoint committee to organize a regiment of United States Infantry from the Club membership, to take part in the next war maneuvers. "The spectacle afforded our citizens, when the troops passed through town Thursday morn ing" said he, "was calculated to rouse the patriotism and the martial instincts of every beholder. It made the heart thrill with pride to see those brave de- lenders of our homes and fresides, re- turning from the field of glory, an inspir ing object lesson in loyalty, devotion"

So voted. I. Clinton Roraback rose to a question of personal privilege and paused for re- cognition. Chairman pro tenn. Strong asked if anybody seconded it.
