As is customary, first on the program
was refreshments and the skill of the

| favorable comments from the partakers.
An enjoyable social hour followed
1t has been the custom for a great
many years to make this the occasion
of joint installation of Geo II. Legate
Post and Woman's Relief Corps, but
owing to sickness of some of the Post
members and the fact that others were
kept at home by the severity of the
weather, their installation was post

officer and the beautiful and patriotic
ceremony was the most pleasing feat
ure of the evening.

ing vocal solos by Miss Florence Knight
and Garnet Wearing, a splendid read
ing by Miss Loretta Huxtabe and brief
but timely addresses by Rev. c. w.
Emery and Rev. f. p, o Reed. The
former urged the Importance of every
one contributing his or her part to the
great struggle our country is engaged
in and the latter pictured the vast diff
ference between autocracy and demo.

Our Patriotic City.

Monday, the universal coal day, was
observed in Mineral Point to such a
degree of perfection that if, we feel
safe in saying, every body of $500
people of the country complied as well
with the call for patriotic sacrifice as
did the people of this city, the result
will be beyond the anticipation of fed
eral officials. If any fell down in OBJ
serving the demand, it were those most
loud beforehand in pretentious desire.
