Lincoln's birthday anniversary, Mon
day, February IL, was a decided sue
cess, both in point of attendance and
the profitable enjoyment of the oc-
casion. The program was held in the
Methodist church. The speakers of
the afternoon were DIR. S. P. Leland,
Rev. H. H. Bowen, D. D., and Rev.
z. j. RanSlow, each OF whom elo-
quently, and with more or less HUI
NOR, exploited the superior claims
OF his respective state, Illinois, Kan
sas and Vermont to the highest rank
in the galaxy of the union. The
musical part of the program was un-
usually fine, and consisted of vocal
solos by Miss Shelly, MIS-. LEVEL
and Mrs. Fromke. Miss Walker
whistIed several national airs, and
Mrs. G. C. Gage gave two humorous
recNationS, the second in response to-
encore. Not the least enjoyable fea-
ture of the occasion was the fine tur-
key dinner served in the basement OF
the church at the close of the exer-
ciSes by the ladies of the Methodist
church. About two hundred people
were served. MeSdames Watkins, c..
A Phillips and e. A. Freeman super
vsed the serving. Mrs. Gage and
| her willing assistants deserve much
credit for their unselfi6h service.
A Martha Washington tea and ba-
zaar will be given by the ladies of the
Methodist church Thursday, February
