Ordinary Methods.

MISSIONARY SOCIETY
HAS PLEASANT MEETING.

An altogether delightful occasion
was the meeting at the First Metho-
list church Monday afternoon, when
the Ladies Missionary Society of the
church entertained the younger mat
gcns and young ladies society, which
was organized last week.
A large enthusiastic gathering of
ladies were present at three o'clock
when the meeting was opened by Mrs.
J. A. Thomas, who presided during
After the opening song and short
scripture lesson, there was beauti-
full duet by Misses Claude Dunn and
Arrie Chapman. This was followed by
talk by Mrs. E. P. Morgan of the
Presbyterian church, on the subject,
A Retrospective Glance of Missionary
Work" This talk was greatly enjoyed,
ard at it's close a solo was rendered
by Mrs. NJ. X. Heys. Mrs. John Shelf
field gave a bright reading.
The program was followed by a Soc
iaI hour in the rooms of the primary
department, which was beautifully
decorated in ferns and cut flowers. De-
licious sandwiches and coffee were
served. An added feature of interest
was the display of work done by the
Vashti Industrial School of Thomas
vile, which property is owned by the
Womans Missionary Council of the
Southern Methodist church. This ex-
hibit was largely the handwork of one
of the students, Birdie Damon, whose

The First Witness.

1t was in the middle of the afternoon
Monday when the state opened their
case with the first witness. 1t was
apparent that the calling of B. l. Nc
tenney, vice president of the Bank
of Smithville, the bank of which G. w.
Chance was cashier, was a surprise to
all, except those directly connected
with the case.
This was evidenced by the repeated
objections of the defendants attor-
neys to questions asked the witness by
Mr.. Hooper, of the prosecution. The
defense insisted that the questions pro-
bounded were material, illegal and
irrelevant, because no foundation had
been laid as to conspiracy, which ap.
parently the state had started out to
prove.
Judge Littlejohn overruled these OBJ
iections, and Mr.. Hooper cited decis-
ions to show that he was perfectly
within the law in beginning the case as
he had.
