The Wurra Wurra Club.

Deacon Frank Stevens assumed the generaship of the meeting, in the un- avoida5le absence of Clint. Roraback, who was in Wetaug soliciting signatures to the constitution and bylaws of the Ca naan Bull Moose Club, of which he is president. After calling the meeting to order Chairman pro tenn Stevens in- structed the Glee Club to sing the Open ing Ode. The leader of the Glee Club, MT. Alfred Horseman Herriman, an nounced that his organization wouldn't be able to sing it, on account of an acci- dent to the bass fiddler, who had stepped on his fddlestick and broken it. So the Ode was dispensed with. The minutes of the previous meeting were read by the town clerk Allyn Fuller, with a codicil giving the number of marriage licenses issued to out-of-towners since he assum- ed office, which showed that MT. Fuller has succeeded, by strict attention to busi- ness, in building up a hourishing trade in the matrimonial line. He is the right man in the right place.
 Mayor Rowe offered motion that, in view of the rapid approach of the season of social festivities, the Club prepare for a prominent part in the social activities, by appointing an entertainment commit tee, with full power to arrange to open the season with a grand ball, with music by Beeman j& Hatch's full orchestra.
 "The gentleman should know" said the chair, "that the Beeman x Hatch full orchestra contains upward of fifty musi- clans. The full orchestra has never wis ited Canaan"
 "I don't care," replied the Mayor, "if the orchestra isn't sent here full we will proceed to get it full after it arrives"
 The motion was seconded by Joe Par sons, and unanimously carried.
 Ned Roberts moved that the secretary be instructed to convey to President Taft the congratulations of the Club on his courage and sound sense in vetoing the legislative bill.' Said he, "The measure is simply analogous to-"
 "Onc moment" interrupted Henry Ives, "Does the gentleman really mean analogous? And if so, does he know what analogous is?'
 "I sure do," replied Roberts. "Anal- ogous is the female of the Armageddon." ,"
 This brought Burt Peirce to the front with a motion to table the motion, and it was carried.
 Donnie O'Neil moved that "Inasmuch as the Camp Fire Girls have been pro- vided with suitable quarters wherein to hold their meetings, the Boy Scouts be invited to occupy the Wurra Wurra Club rooms until such time as they may likewise be given a permanent head quarters" Carried.
 On motion of pr. Adam, pr. Knight, of Salisbury, was elected to honorary membership, and the secretary instructed to invite him to make use of the Club stationery for writing his proclamations, in case such becomes his duty.
 A motion was made by Lester Adams that a delegation of members of the Club be appointed by the chair, to ac- company the Canaan Hose Company to Millerton, on Labor Day, to cheer and give encouragement to our local firemen in their contests for prize in the hose coupling tournament. This was second ed by Horace Humphrey and carried with a whoop.
 Seneca Strong again attempted to in troduce a resolution concerning the ap- preaching license contest, but he was sat down upon by the chair, and threatened with ejection by the deputy sheriff, and he consented to let the matter drop.
