w. M. u. Meets

The w. M. U. of the Baptist
church met Monday, March q,
at the home of Mrs. Dave Reed
err. This being the last meeting
for the Home Mission Collection,
much time was given up to that.
The amount raised was $35.
Having finished a mission
book called Royal Service, y
another was given out called
Kings Highway. With such
books as these, the mission
cause has been greatly helped.
Every member promptly re-
sponded to the mission call.
After the meeting came to a
close Mrs. Reeder surprised the
president, Mrs. Chandler, ny
calling on Mrs. Belts for a few
lines of poetry dedicated to the
president in honor of her birth
day. This original poem was
decorated with blue ribbon and
ivy leaves. Mrs. Belts and Mrs.
Chandler were school mates and
this friendship formed a greater
part of her talk. Mrs. Ceandler
was very much surprised as she
did not know any one knew of
her Birthday. Her surprise was
even crater when Mrs. Donald
son rose to give a few verses
that would almost put some OF
the poets to shame. Her verses
were very laughable. Just as
Mrs. Chandler tried to gather up
a few words Mrs. O'Briant asked
for a few moments to speak but
was too weak to make ner own
gestures so asked Mrs. Hawkins
to make them as she read.
Following this Mrs. McCool
rushed in with a bunch of isis
tied with flowing white satin
ribbon and presented them from
the w. M. u. Mrs. Reeder pre-
sented her with a crocheted
yoke. Mrs. Chambers surprise
was so great that she could
hardly express her appreciation.
The pastor, Rev. O'Briant,
closed the meeting with a beauti-
full prayer for the president and
all the members.
The next meeting is to be with
Mrs. w. A. Houston

Mrs. H. L. Morrison,
Secretary,
About six weeks ago a man
stopped me on the street and
asked me to hunt him a house
and lot. In a weeks time | had
located him in good shape. He
bought the house and lot and
told me ten days later he would
not take $500 dollars for his
bargain. Call me on Independ-
ent telephone, either II or SO.
I'll meet you at L. P. Haley's
law office and do as much for
you. Six bargains now on hand.

Civic League Organized,

TO the great delight of the citi-
zens of this little city Queen of
the Prairie, a civic league has
been organized.
For several years the Lanier
Literary Club has had civic COM
mittees, which have done both
beautiful and credible work, but
owing to the constant growth of
the town the work has become
voluminous, and realizing there
is strength in numbers in this in
stance, it was suggested a civic
club be organized. For this pur-
pose quite number of enthusi-
astic women met at the Carnegie
Library March 18th, 1916.
The object of this meeting was
tie elect officers and devise ways
and means. The following Off
GERS were elected, viz:
Mrs. Mollie Allen, president.
Mrs. R. w. Chandler, vice
president.
Mrs. H. L. Morrison, Secretary.
Mrs. lanes Gordon. treasurer.
Mrs. Nathan Smith, cores
pondent.
1t is supposed that everybody
knows what it is to have a civic
league "A town kept clean,
made beautiful and attractive.
In connection with this, tn e
prizes offered by the Lanier Club
still hold good, and the articles
published in the paper several
weeks ago will be carried out.
We ask everybody to get one of
these coupons, which are being
distributed; fill it out and enter
this contest.
The colored will compe e
against the colored and the white
against the white. Each ward
will be visited by captain who
will explain, suggest or help all
she can to beautify the property
in her ward, both houses and va
cant lots.
In the first ward is Mrs. Porter
Davis; second ward, Mrs. Will
Mabry; third ward, Mrs. B. F.
Ames; fourth ward, Mrs. Jessie
Buchanan; fifth ward, Mrs.
Frank Harrell; sixth ward, Mrs.
A. L. Jagoe.
The inspectors are Mesdames.
Allen, SAMSON and Reeder,
1t was an interestir g meeting
and the cooperation of every citi-
zen in this town is needed to
make this work a perfect sue
cess.
Having Mr.. R. L. Brandsford
as an honorary member, we eX-
pect to accomplish great and
wonderful things.
Little talks were made at this
meeting by Messrs. Price, O'Bry-
ant and West were appreciated.
We thank these gentlemen for
their encouraging advice.
The next meeting will be held
at the Carnegie Library prompt
Il at 2 o'clock, on Friday, April
7th. Let everyone interested in
the proposition attend.

A distinguished American who has served his govern

are the most hated nation in the world. In one of the

| agree that the tariff question will be an issue IN the
next campaign and an important one, made doubly so by
conditions which will confront us after the war when the
gigantic industrial struggle for rehabilitation and for the
regaining of markets shall have been inaugurated. l
pause here to remark that the tariff policy of the Repub-
Ilican party must be built on true Republican principles. 1t
must be as wide as the nation and as comprehensive as all
the diversified industries and vacations and callings which
make up our national life. The west, the farmer and the
stockraiser, the producer generally, will not submit to a
policy, homogeneous and intolrable, which puts the farmer
or producer in an open market for sale and a protected
market for purchase. Neither will they be satisfied with
a platform which is silent upon that subject.
This lately engrafted doctrine of free raw material, a
euphonious phrase to cover up a singular exhibition OF
sectional selfishness, should be disposed of in the platform
and in terms so legible they can be deciphered by the Am
erican farmer without his spectacles. The west frankly
comedies much to the east.
We concede that we are without and beyond the charm
ed circle whence are chosen the great leaders OF the party
and the chief magistrate of the nation. We never In all
the cons of the ages expect to be so irreverent as to chal,
llenge that universally accepted fact. In the language OF
the western forester, we realize that we are above the
available timber line. In only a limited area, further east,
is found that poise, that political acumen, that breadth OF
view and clarity of vision which fits one for that exalted
place. The history of the party for the last few years
Shows that. Its present condition demonstrates that TO a

FATHER KENNELLY HAS BEEN GIVEN
 ANOTHER PARISH

Word has been received in Ju. neau that Rev. James A. Kennelly, S. J., pastor ih charge of the Catho- lie Church here for the past two years has been assigned to duty in Missoula, Montana. Father Kenelly came to Juneau about two years ago and made hundreds of warm person al friends both among the members of his parish and also among the members Of other denominations who win be extremely sorry to hear of his leaving Juneau.
 He was unable to stand the rig orous climate of the north and a short time ago became so ill that lt was found necessary to send him to the. Providence Hospital lh Seattle where he recovered sufficiently to resrme his duties. On account of his delicate health it was decided to assign him to a post in higher alti- tude hoping that the change of ell mate would benefit his health.
 It Is very probable that Rev. Alloy sms J. Rocatti, s. J., who has been assistant here will have charge oi the church since Rev. Remedy has been assigned elsewhere
