COMMERCIAL CLUB ELECTS.
Old Officers Reelected for Ensuing
Year at Meeting Held Friday
Night 38 Meetings Last Year.

The Commercial club held a meeting
on Friday night, the principal purpose
coming year. The attendance was
larger than usual, there being in the
neighborhood of seventy-tive members
present There did not seem to be any
disposition to change personnel of the
officers of the club and after some dis.
cussion resolution was presented fav-
oring the retention OF the old officers
for another year, which was unani-
mously adopted. This means that Mr..
G. L. Voss will continue to act as pres
ident and Mr.. w. C. Rollins as secre-
tary 1t is something of a compliment
to these gentlemen that their records
|are such that there should be uni
versal demand for them to remain in
their respective offices.
A number of committees made re-
ports, but nothing of unusual interest
|transpired. A resolution was pre-
sented and passed, >comemnding the
Northwestern railroad for it's heroic
efforts to keep up its passenger serV-
ice.
The club held thirty-eight business
meetings the last year, which breaks
the record for the past. The club has
been very active during the year and
has not lost an opportunity to investi
gate every possible improvement which
would benefit the city. 1t is hoped this
year will prove successful one from
every standpoint and that Denison will
find the Commercial club a potent
factor in developing its interests. The
club has never been stronger than at
this time numerically and otherwise,
and we predict this will be success.
full year.
Word was received in Denison last
week that the aged father Of DR.. J. L
Gibson, formerly of Denison, but now
living at Des Moines, died at his home
in Ottawa, Canada, last Friday. MI.
Gibson was a man "a years of age at
the time of his death. Last summer
he was overcome by the heat and it is
thought that he never fully recovered
from it. DR.. Gibson was unable to go
to Ottawa to attend the funeral on
account OF the poor railway service
at the present time. Mr.. Gibson
leaves to mourn his death a beloved
wife, two sons, Dr. J. l. Gibson, Of
Des Moines, and Roy Gibson, of Cedar
Rapids, and brother, Mr.. Francis
Gibson, OF this city.

How She Acquired

THE WORD
OF CHE e r.

A young business woman said to me
yesterday morning:
Il wonder why we don't oftener give
the word of cheer? I suppose it's be-
cause we don't think about it. But it
is such big help. I was awfully dis
couraged today. I had worked hard
all the week, and my work had seem

but to others.

Her soul in her strong white hands

The woman who understands
As the tide went out she found him
Lashed to a spar of despair
The wreck of his ship around him
The wreck of his dreams in the air.
Found him and loved him, and gath

The soul OF him to her heart:
The soul that had sailed an I'M

The soul that had sailed to win and

The soul of which she was part;
And there in the dark she cried to
the man,

Urging when that was best,
Holding her fears in hiding,

And ready to pay the cost;
Watching and guarding and whisper

Treading life's path wherever 1t leads
Bright with flowers or decked with

But ever with him-with him

Somewhere she waits strong in belief
Your soul in her firm white hands
Thank well the gods when she comes

MR.. AND MRS. JOHN 8. BEARD
EXPECTED ABOUT OCTOBER is.

ENFEGI Ed ABOUT CTC6ER 10.
While making their home IN Pensa-
cola, where they resided for many
years. coming here from Tallahassee,
Mr.. and Mrs. John 8. Beard and Miss
Fannie Sullivant made a host of
friends who deeply regretted 1t when
they went to Virginia. The lovely
bayshore home of the Boards was al
ways the center of delightful hos
pitality, which they dispensed with
that rare grace and courtesy that
render social relations delightful. and
so 1t Is with much pleasure that their
friends here await their return to Pen
sacola, where they-will make their
home. for a while at least. and 1t is
hoped permanently. Their lovely home
in Staunton, Virginia, has been dis
tinguished by that same grace of hos
pitality that made their home here so
attractive. 1t is a beautiful and COM
n1odious country place, but the lure
of the water and the call Of old friends
has won these true Pensacolians back
again, and they are expected about
October 18th, to make their home on
the bayshore, In the house which Mr..
and Mrs G. w. Lamar have recently
vacated.
The many friends of Miss Sullivant
will be glad to know that she will
probably make her home with them.
