! VALLEY CLUB NOTES


No, the Club Reporter is not dead
only very busy
Just to illustrate the wonderful &C.
curacy of the average newspaper re-
porter, let me say that it wasn't an
apple tree but highly priced locust
shade tree. And it wasn't blown down
the telephone crew cut off all the
limbs on one side, without leave or Ii
cense. / suppose they intended to use
them for "stub" lines, but before they
could get them trimmed up somebody
hauled them away. The rest of the
story is mostly true.
I am sorry to relate that owing to
superior attractions elsewhere the
debate upon the Philippine question
was not debated.
The girls are asking from all sides
when that leap year party is going
to be. That's in the hands of the COM
mittee and will be announced in DIE
season.
Isn't this queer world? Some of
our members have quit coming be-
cause there has been a little political
discussion in the club house. Some
stay away because somebody at some
time has said something that con-
flicted with their religion. Some won't
come because we have followed one
or two meetings with dance. A lot
have lost interest because they can't
dance after every meeting. And near
ly the whole membership fails to show
up because we don't, as an actual fact,
have something of enough interest to
draw them. In heavens name, what
shall it be?
Thank you very kindly Brother Goss
but we have not yet found it necessary
to go outside of our own membership
to find names for honorable mention,
and after we get thru with them we
are going to start in on the ones who
deserve the other kind of mention.
But if the editor doesn't control his
blue pencil a little better we may
yump the yob.
Do you members of the Valley club
who are asked to vote on those var
ious referendum measures want a
thoro discussion Of them before cleo
ton? Then let the president know
and arrangements will be made for it,
Let us turn on the calcium light of
"pitiless publicity"
Notice to all club members! Here
is an item Of real interest. Your pres
ident says this: 81 here and now re-
sign from the position with which yet
have honored me. From various
sources comes the complaint that you
refuse to attend club meetings be-
cause Of activity Of socialist members.
Now, I was elected by strictly nom
socialist vote. And while acting as
president / have tried to act strictly
neutral. But if you want to cut out
all live questions and make the club
functions merely brainless pink tea
affairs excuse me! I have more i'm
portant business. If in the future, you
wish my assistance in any real con-
structive effort to better our condition
yoX will find me willing as always to
help.

Late this evening while Mr.. Har-

miles from Dillon. he was attacked

parently robbery. The slayers went
through his clothes and took all the
money he had with him. Mrs. Har-
relson explained that her husband
was known to carry from $50 to $40
in his pocket all the time. and it was
probably for this that the negroes
killed him.

THE ATHLETIC SHOW.
Champion Boxer and Wrestlcrs at the
Lee County Fair.

During the summer months it is
customary for boxers and wrestlers
to abandon the ring and mat and to
seek out favorable resort for long
rest, and to enjoy life through the
hot season. The result often times
is more or less dissipation on the
part OF the athletes, and when they
again enter the ring they find them
selves out of condition. Kid Hender-
son, the manager of the Athletic
Show with the Great American
Shows, has solved the problem for
his clever athletes Instead of a
popular resort he chooses a travelling
organization, and has thereby kept
them in the pink of condition and
given them vacation at the same
time. They are all clever ring artists
and are pleasing hundreds of people
highly where the Great American
Shows go. Young Herman, who is
we'll known from coast to coast, will
meet all comers at the Fair in fact
the management issues a sweeping
challenge to any local boxer or
wrestler who would care to meet any
of the whirlwinds with the show.
They are always in condition, and
always ready.
Nose Marshall is the proud pos.
SCISSOR of a number OF medals. and is
always anxious to meet the local
atletes wherever he goes.
Mr.. Henderson himself is always
on hand to give some clever exhi-
bitions. and the Athletic Show never
has a dull minute.
