Politics. fortunately. this year
are very quiet; there seems to be
a very strong desire to have peace
and harmony in the city for one
year, any how. 1t seems the desire
of every body to settle on some
one candidate who has sufficient
interests in Mobridge to pay close
attention to his duties and take
care Of the interests Of the tax
payers. 1t looked like the desire
Of the citizens were to place DR..
Rock in that responsible office
but his federal appointment
automaticly released him. So far
as we know there is only one other
petition gotten out since his
withdrawal and that is in favor of
DR.. Goodman, formor mayor
There seems to be a strong
sentiment in favor of his election.
He is heavy enough taxed to keep
him following the straight and
narrow path II elected.

A One O'Clock Luncheon

Last Saturday Mrs. j. E.
Downey, in honor of her house
guests, entertained a number of
friends at q one o'clock luncheon
at her home south of town. The
living and dining rooms were
prettily decorated with ferns and
carnations, the pink and white
predominating, these colors being
used in the three course luncheon,
each table holding a tall vase filled
with the flowers. Games were
played during the afternoon. Mrs.
Downey was assisted by Miss Leib
randi of Cameron and Miss Cath
crime Moore.
Besides the honor guests those
present were Mrs. G. G. Bigger,

Increased The Force

The force at the local Burlington
station has been increased this
week by reinstating Jas. Booth as
assistant agent, he having been
laid off when the force was cut two
months ago. The business at this
station for the year just closed
shows a big increase over previous
years, there being an increase Of
over $400 in passenger business
alone. A large part Of this in
crease comes from passengers from
the north and south who come
here to get tickets for long trips,
the accommodations here for
routing and figuring rates being
far more satisfactory than at many
other points. Station Agent
Moore has handled the business so
we'll here and given such general
satisfaction to both the public and
the company that he was called to
Chicago a few weeks ago to attend
a conference Of the officials of the
passenger department during which
his Judgment was sought as to the
business outlook in this part of the
state.

The EPARENT-TEACHERS
An Interesting Meeting Held Last
Friday Afternoon

The Parent-Teacher Association
had its regular monthly meeting on
Friday afternoon of last week in
the assembly ball Of the Laclede
school building. The meeting was
well attended and a considerable
degree of enthusiasm concerning
the welfare of the school was man
ifest,
The members of the association
were first entertained by a flag
program carried out by the pupils
from all the grades. This was
especially appropriate, as interest
of late has been high with regard
to the purchase Of a flag and pole
for the school.
After the children's program, a
discussion of the flag, together
with other subjects, was held by
parents and teachers. An address
by Mrs. Harry Landree, the able
president of the association, re-
garding its purposes and ends, was
very much enjoyed by all. From
the three large pictures hanging on
the walls of the assembly hall, of
George Washington, Abraham
Lincoln and Frances E. Willard,
the members of the association are
at each session allowed a vote as to
which room will get one of the
pictures, it's choice, for the next
month. TINS is done in order that
children from each room may be
interested by getting their mothers
to attend the meetings, A vote of
the association gave the picture for
this month to the primary room.
The next meeting of the associa-
ton will be held on Friday after
noon, January 20. This organiza-
tion stands for everything that
is up-building in home, school,
and state and should be encouraged
and supported by all who are in
terested in the development of
better manhood and womanhood.

The Worthy Matron to Wed

Star held a very pleasant meeting
last Monday night adding new
members and transacting several
items of business left over from a

x. Y, q. White, worthy patron;
Carrie Pratt, Ruth; Rev. j. D.
Mendenhall, chaplain; E. E. Ben
son, sentinel.
. The regular work having been
finished and as the chapter was
about to close, the secretary read a
communication from Miss Elleta
Dougherty, the and worthy matron,
stating that she had assumed a
greater responsibility than should
rest upon a young woman's shoul-
ders and that within the next two
weeks she would shift the burden
to Mrs. Ira Duckworth. This of
course called hearty congratulations
from every one present as these
young people are both we'll and
favorably known.

Joint Installation

The Modern Woodmen and Royal

men officers were installed accord

ally, with these ladies in charge,

The Hotel Brown

For several years Laclede has
been sorely in need of a better an6
more upto-date hotel. When
John G. Brown bought the Fore
man hotel property last fall,
changed the name to Hotel Brown
and leased it to Mr.. and Mrs. G. j.
Griffith, it was indeed a fortunate
thing for the town. He no sooner
got possession of the property than
he began substantial improvements.
The interior of the building was
repaired and thoroughly renovated,
electric lights extended to every
room, all old dishes, silverware
and furniture was discarded and
the house newly furnished through
out. The bed rooms are as neat
and clean as can be, fitted out with
new floor cover, massive iron beds,
springs, mattresses, and all bed
clothing new and kept in the best
of condition, thus appealing to the
fancies Of the men whose lives are
spent on the road. The tables are
we'll supplied, the culinary work
we'll looked after and the accom-
modations good in every particular.
Mr.. and Mrs. Griffith are a success
at caring for the needs of the
travelling public and the work is
being so ably done that the house
is fast regaining the old time
patronage it enjoyed before it
became trading stock, as it were.
Hotel Brown and the present
management certainly deserve a
good word from every citizen of the
town,
