The Wurra Wurra Club

Why should the spirit of mortal be proud? It's fair question, and has been open for discussion since long, long ago. From the time our original | forefather, the late MT. Adam, sneaked out of the Garden of Eden, with a hang-dog look on his face, as if he had been caught in the act of drinking out of the finger-bowl, down to the present, it has been a standing conundrum, and so far as we can ascertain nobody has been able to give a satisfactory and conclusive reason why the spirit of mortal should be so stuck up. It's a baffling problem, and nobody seems able to unbaffie it. This should teach us the useful lesson that whenever we are inclined to do so we should not. And why not? Because like deadly Upas tree that tramples on the dis. honored graves of the innocent and crushes with its foul breath the voice of an outraged and indignant people who would not have it so without wight eous protest. Therefore the oblAging sexton of the clubroom, MT. $. Bo5ze- hater Strong, smiled as he went gaily about his task of opening up the as- sembly room for the regular session. And as he smiled, he whistled-which is some trick, and don't you forget it. If you don't believe it, suppose you just try to smile and whistle at the same ! time. Therel You see it isn't as easy as it is, is it? The president, Mir Sam Catpp, was not present, being other wise engaged cleaning mess of fish which he had caught that day, and was going to give to one of his highly esteemed neighbors. Hence the job of chauffeuring the meeting was delegated by MT. Strong to MT. A. E Creevey, us Seneca said, ito get line on his parliamentary tactics" Mir. Creevey mounted the throne, whacked the desk with a soldering-iron and declared the meeting open in form on the first de- gree. He then instructed the secretary, MT. ". N. Decker, to read the moments of the previous meeting, which he did, in manner that evoked great applause in the gallery. Dan Sweeney sang the Opening Ode, accompanied by Dr. Adam on his stethoscope, after which Chairman Creevey declared the deck cleared for action.
 Clarence Humphrey got up and made a motion that committee be appointed to arrange fol. q congratulatory banquet to the newly appointed postmaster E. l.. Roberts, one of the charter mem- bers of the Club. "It is the custom, during this administration, said he, ''for new postmasters to be given con- plimentary banquets by their friends, to which members of all parties, in- cluding the retiring postmasters, are invited, and all political differences laid aside" The motion was seconded by Clint Roraback, and unanimously carried, and the chair appointed H. A. Holt, George Heffernan, Fl. E. Lyles and George Roger us committee on ban quet.
 On motion by Freeman Dempsey, the chair was authorized to appoint a committee of three to examine the members of the Club as to their qualifi- cations for membership in the Bald Head Club of America, before the forthcoming October banquet in Win sted. The chair appointed as such committee Messrs. k. l.. Roberts, W. N. Decker and Ralph T. Farnum.
 George w. Ford moved that the Club place on record its approval of the ac. tion of the Canaan Business Mems Association, at its last meeting, in talk ing steps to procure options oIf proper ties that might be available for factory sites, so the committee on new indus tries may have something to snow the manufacturers when they come here looking for places to build. The motion was enthusiastically seconded and unanimously carried.
 The meeting then adjourned.
