Now it is the women who are to lead il
the social circles of the community; and
not the town women either, but the smari
agricultural circles, as the town circles
have their Pocahontas and Sewing Circle
and other societies of a clanish nature.
Now the farmers wives are not to be
outdone and have formed a social circle
of twelve matrons of the farmers around
and will allow none of the others who
/ clamor to Join to come into their ranks
| This is not. as usual, a scheme to filch
money out of each other for some selfish
purpose, but, on the contrary, not one
cent to be used. They meet at Mrs.
Haynes this Wednesday evening, who is
president of the organization, and then
draw lots as to their meeting place each
week We have heard only one of the
rules, which forbids gossiping and strong
er drinks than tea, As our spouse is a
big high monk we NAV from time to time
give accounts of the proceedings. These
ladies are all of progressive ideas and
read the Chronicle, and we must keep
shady or they might get at us, as one of
them generally gives us big handful i'll
times of trouble, and inevitably has the
last word-for Holy Moses sake, what
would we do with twelve of them So
we are afraid to say too much on this
affair.
The new year 1918 has laid a heavy
hand upon us and shattered the fate of
one old and highly respected family by
suddenly removing from its head, last
Tuesday, the life of Benjamin Morgan,
aged SO years, who died at the home of
his son, Benjamin, near Oakley Away
back in our earliest recollection Mr.. Nor
gan, with his large family, was consider
ed one of the best farmers and the hard
est workers in this neighbOrhoOd, where
he always lived. His obseques were con
Quoted at Ellendale last Friday at the
Methodist Church, where he has long
been a conspicuous member, and remains
laid in Red Mems Cemetery. A long
procession of an old and large family fol- |
lowed the remains to their last resting |
place, among whom were his brother, |
Bradbury Morgan and family, of Lincoln, |
and Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Marvel, of Mil |
ford, a sister; Messrs. Gilbert and George |
Morgan of this town, and many grand /
and great grand children. His work as |
an honest man, a true christian, a good |
democrat has been we'll done and he has
gone to his reward among tears of sor-
rowing friends, for Uncle Benny as we
all loved so honor him.
Dorsey Morgan has commenced an adj
dition to the residence Of Walter Shep-
herd and will at once erect another two
story residence for Harry Jester near the
Dickerson corners. There is plenty of
work for all carpenters here.
