Mr.. and Mrs. j. X r. Cowden came

The advertisement of the Glenwood
Light and Water company in this issue
of the Post calls attention to a phase
| of the company's business methods
| about which little is known. When one
stops to consider that electricity,
which within the life of most Of us was
first considered merely novel meaas
of lighting, now enters into every bus
mess, including the profession of
housekeeping, the value Of reference
library such as the company main
tains is readily understood.

At the Methodist church last Sunday
morning E. G. Kingsbury conducted the
service, giving the people most in
spring address. In the evening su-
perintendent Underwood of our public
school addressed the congregation on
the lives of Washington and Lincoln.
While the absence Of the pastor was
very much regretted, especially since
absence was necessitated by his illness,
both services were very satisfactory
and the people are greatly indebted to
Messrs. Kingsbury and Underwood for
their kindness 10. relieving what would
otherwise have been al embarrassing
