The Wurra Wurra Club

It was real nice night; night that you might use for almost any honest. respectable purpose, if you were so in- clined. The sky was full of stars and moons planets and things and the wind didn't blow. The weather bureau must have been locked up that night, for no meteorological calculators could possibly produce such lovely conditions. It is unaccountable, and yet it seems to be an indisputable truth that the ele- ment of veracity in its relation to the science of fore-casting weather proph- ecies, or prediction s, or other form of prevarication. such as "You are liar, |" which is considered by some to be constitutional weakness, or disease which they cannot help, or assist, or rescue, to wit: Rescue the perishiug, |" that is, going dead, which is very fatal if not promptly prevented by difficult operation, like tracheotomy, for in- stance, or chiropCdy, or cutting off either one leg or the other, Gas might be desired,) any of which might be effec. tive if taken in time, though fatal con sequences are as apt to follow from natural causes, of which there are three, as follows: yellow fever, blood poison ing and strangling, which is done with fishbone, or swallowing a cork, or be. ing unsophisticated with coal gas, al- though that is an uncomfortable way of doing it, which induced the presi- dent, MT. George Hall, to start the pro- ceedings promptly on time. He ordered the minutes retd by Allyn Fuller, and the Opening Ode was sung by Clint. Roraback, accompanied by Frank Whit ing on his honeymoon, after which the regular order of business was taken up. . A motion was offered by Nat Storm, that the Club volunteer to help shingle the dining room of the hotel, so the an nual banquet of the Business Mems As sociation may be held this season, and not have to skip Il year. Ed. Warner seconded the motion. He said he was away from town when the last B. M. A. banquet was held, and he couldn't bear to think of skipping two years without banquet. The fat member said he had skipped every banquet that had. ever been held here, and he couldn't see as how he was any wuss off, but he didn't have no objection t. Storm an Warner goin' ahead an shinglin' tn tavern dinin' room if they felt so tarnal ambitious" &
 The motion was put to vote and lost by large majority. ss
 On motion by Dennie O'Neil it was voted that the chair appoint committee to canvass the town and ascertain how many persons are engaged in knitting things for the Belgians. The chair ap- pointed as such committee Messrs. Her. riman, Holsapple and Lyles.
 George Ford said it was evident that the sidewalk committee needed prod ding again, as the condition of some of the walks, since the snowstorm, is positively dangerous. The matter .was referred to the committee on prodding.
 MT. Badgley said he would like to hear u report from the committee on municipal Christmas tree, but MT. Col lin, chairman of that committee, was reported absent, and Badgley's wish was not gratified. It was stated how ever, by the chair, that the committee had its eye on fine hemlock tree up in the Hyde Pasture, which will make a splendid one for community use next year. He stated also that the com mittee had its eye on hole in the ground on the Town Hall green which will make an ideal spot to stick the tree up, when the time comes. Ad- journed.
