The Wurra Wurra Club.

With the Christmas counter-attractions over and out of the way, there was noth. ing to interfere with full attendance of members at the regular meeting, and the room was crowded. Even the presi- dent, Selectman Reel, was on deck and not only ready but eager for business. The first thing he did was to ask if any body had any motions or resolutions to offer, but the secretary, N. Watson liar denbergh, reminded him that the prelim- mary exercises generally came first. The chair apologized and ordered Con Hitchcock to sing the Opening Ode, but that gentleman got mp and said the car burettor of his thorax had become dis combobolated from the spark,plug and his siren wouldn't honk He was ex- cused, and Mayor Rowe was asked to oblige. He done so. The minutes of the last meeting were then read, and the decks were cleared,for action.
 w. A. Wright moved that the officers of the Club be installed with public in. staliation. "The Masons of Housatonic Lodge are going to have public installa- tion for their new officers, on January D." he said, and they're going to make big time of it, with Len Nickerson,- one of the High-Ups of the Grand Lodge, to do the installing, and big feed at the wind up. That's the sort of thing that re- awakens interest and promotes growth, and we ought to get into line and do the same"
 The fat member objected. "What tn thunder's tn use O 'wakin' up more in- t'rest than what we've got, in this Club?" he inquired. "We got all tn members we can handle now, an we can't handle what we have got. This is tn pop'larest organization in tn county, now, an makes tn most talk; an we couldn't git no new members any how, cause ev'ry. body in town b'longs to 1t already-that is, ev'rybody that amounts to any thing"
 "Yes, and a whole lot that don't amount to anything" interrupted Ed. Warner. at might be good idea to sort over the membership list and pay more attention to quality"
 On motion of Horace Humphrey the matter was laid on the table.
 Donnie O'Neil rose to inquire If any member could tell what had become of the Assembly, which had been such successful and attractive social feature during past winters.
 Allyn Fuller reported that in some manner it had been killed deader than a door-nail last winter, and was presumably past hope of resurrection.~
 H. E. Lyles wanted to know whether it wasn't about time to prepare to pro- ceed to get ready for big public cele- bration of the Glorious Fourth, next summer. "Christmas is over," he de- clared, "and the Fourth will be upon us almost before we're aware of it. "We were cheated out of our White Way fire works for the holiday season, through no fault of our own, and we ought to make the celebration of Independence Day all the more glorious on account of it."
 On motion of John B. Reed q commit tee was appointed to arrange for the Fourth of July celebration, with instruc tions to provide a parade, flying machine exhibition, athletic games, orations and fireworks, with something to eat. The chair appointed on that committee Messrs. Holsapple, Ives, Mayor Rowe and Bob" Shaver.
 Ed. Warner inquired how Sam Siegel was progressing with the list of the mar riageable ladies of Canaan, and Sam re- ported that he had reached the T's, and might finish next week.
 On motion of Henry Ives the Club voted to adjourn.
