The Wurra Wurra Club.


 ton, Mir. S. Baxter Strong, who had to go somewhere to see somebody about some thing, the meeting was called to order by the president, Mir. l.. Catchem Rhoades, our genial, obliging and deservedly popu- lar deputy sheriff, who laid a revolver and a pair of handcuffs on the desk be. side his copy of Cushing's Manual, not necessarily as guaranty of good faith, as he explained but because they "in- terefered with his sitting down" while he had them in his pocket. Nevertheless, the sight of them apparently had sooth- ing and wholesome effect upon ex-Mayor Rowe, who conducted himself with the utmost decorum during the entire cere- monies. The sheriff called on MT. H. Benajah Ives to proceed to satisfy him. self that all present were members of the Club. Mir. Ives swept his eagle eye over the assemblage and reported that pretty ne rly all present were members, though he had his doubts about Frank Hitchcock, Joe Parsons, Clint. Roraback, Harry Lyles, Dan Sweeney and Jay Underwood. The sheriff thanked him, and said that in- asmuch as not single one of the gentle men named was present, they would pro- ceed to business. It was Ed. Warmers turn to sing the Opening Ode, but Mir. Warner said he was all out of Opening Odes just then, but he had something just as good, and he proceeded to warble "Everybody's Doin' It." with variations which brought down the house. MT. Warner has an excellent voice for some things aside from singing. Dr. Lee was asked to kindly oblige by reading the moments of the last meeting, and he kindly done so. In fact they all took their parts real good.
 After which the chair subsequently, de- clared the meeting open for the despatch, etc. Rob. Peirce got the floor first, with a motion that the selectmen be requested to defer the construction of the new crosswalks until after the first of next week, as some people might be having company whom they wished to take out riding, around the village, and they would be inconvenenced by having the streets in condition of demoralization. The matter was referred to the commit tee on demoralization. .#.E..
 Horace Humphrey got up to offer a motion that the Fourth of July commit tee be instructed to go ahead and organ ize a celebration, regardless of anything, and if any expense is incurred, have the bill sent to the treasurer of the Club. Ozzie Vosburgh jumped up and said he'd Club, and if so, how much money has he got, with the reasons therefor, as a pre- caution against repetition for future re- ference" Mir. Humphrey said he didn't case. At this point the deputy sheriff began to handle his handcuffs and the motion was withdrawn.
 Judge Ford said he had no motion to offer, but it had occurred to him that it might be good idea tor the Club to get up some sort of celebration expedition to mark the completion of the work of putting a new state road over Smith Hill. He thought big joy-ride, taking all the members of the Club and their families and friends, to Salisbury and Lakeville, and having a dance and supper over there, would be about the proper mode of expressing our satisfaction with the new road, and he wouldn't mind serving on the committee on refreshments if-
 The fat member butted in, at this point, and began to talk long before he had the process of hoisting him self to his feet. He said: "Mister Pres dent; hain't got no objection ag'inst jaw-ride t Salisbury over tn new state road acrost Smith Hill; but as I understan' it, th' state road acrost Smith Hill hain't quite finished yit, in some places, an there's plenty time [ git tn expedition we'll organized without gittin' in a devil of a sweat. I under stan there's a few little details yit t be looked after, before that road will be ac- cepted by tn commissioner, an'-"
