minimizes debts and ignores failures.

an airy confidence which is almost con-
tagious. As political document 1t is
clever and dangerous. If anyone doubts

the clubs jointly.

interesting age. it was voted
unanimously chat We should have
a new officer called Keeper of
the Archives, this officer to keep
all records and history of the
club.
1t was voted that those men,
bers who have moved away from
town should still have a place in
our yearly calendars, as they
have place in our hearts. They
are to be recorded as out of town
members. keeping in touch with
the club.
The election of officers then
took place with this result: Mrs.
Reeves, president; Mrs. Gentry,
vice president; Mrs. McGaughey,
secretary; Mrs. Strain, treasurer,
Mrs. Mclean, keeper of archives.
AS is usual with a body of
women, the election was harmo-
nious throughout, there being no
eagerness for position. and no
subsequent heartaches.
After conRratulating the sue
cessful officers, the club adjourn
ed to meet Feb. 9 with Mrs. F.
L. Kincannon at 3 o'clock.
