The Wurra Wurra Club

When the hour arrived for calling ! the meeting to order there was not a vacant seat occupied. The president, Mr. Lvles, rapped the crowd to atten
 ton with the butt end of his jack-knife handle, and called upon the secretary to read the minutes of the last meet ing, which was immediately followed by the singing of the Opening Ode by George Mather, ill sepulchral bass, ac. companied on contribution box by a gentleman from Sheffield, who was soliciting funds for new church and came in with one of the ministers. i When all these Dreliminaries had been disposed of, the clair called for what ever any member might have on his mind
 1 Representative Graves moved the adoption of a resolution congratulating Mayor Roraback on the prompt and efficient manner in which paths had been made, by the public snowplow, throughout the fire district, after each of the resent snowstorms. MT. Hol- sapple offered an amendment to the resolution, congratulating the people generally on the promptness with which they got their shovels at work and followed up the snowplow by widening the paths and getting down to hardpan. "It shows that the civic spirit is at work, :" he said, "and that we are taking a commendable pride in our advancement. The resolution, as amended, was adopted by unanimous vote.
 Joe Allyn moved that a committee be appointed to wait upon the select. men and demand that the billy cop or some other officer be stationed near the postoffice to put a stop to the snowball- ing, by boisterous boys, tn the annoy. ance of pedestrians and drivers in that locality. "It has become nuisance, said he, 'and ought t0 be stopped" :"
 ''There is no reason why it should not be stopped" said Judge Ford, ris. ing to his dainty feet. "I will read directly upon this subject" Consta- ble Rhoades moved that the reading be postponed until after adjournment. The chair declared the Rhoades motion out of order, and in the midst of the hub bub that followed, Henry Ives made u motion to adjourn, and it was so voted. ''In the meantime we will continue business,'' said the chair.
 Fred Collin moved that "inasmuch as the presidential campaign is rapidly coming on, we organize political campaign club, and"
 But that's as far as he got. Some body yelled, Put him outr" Some- body else shouted, "Go on; I'll second the motion for campaign club" ." and everybody shouted something different. It looked like riot until the chair commanded Constable Rhoades to per suade the disputants to be calm, which he did, with q club. Then the fat member was recognized, who spake like unto the following:
 Il hain't Sot no objections to any body talkin' politics all lie wants to, previdin' 1 don half t' lissen tO it. But jest as soon as thIs Club goes int politics, give notice right heIe, that shall git out an abanding tn org g'niza. tion to Its fate. hain't got no doubt they's men right here that could tell tn president, or any president rhis country ever had, jest whar he's ben maxim rotten mess tryin t run tn guy 'ment. am give him advice on what he ort t dc.
