The day is coming when all our re-

The local women's club are to act
as hostesses tt the visiting delegates
representing the South Dakota State
Federation of Women's Clubs, have
arrangements fully completed for
serving a 75c toast luncheon at the
Odd Fellows hall at 12:45 sharp on
Wednesday, the second day follow
ing the opening of the convention.
Only club women are privileged to
enjoy the splendid repast that will
be served at that time. This toast
luncheon is quite an innovation for
Madison and it is very probable that
the precedent will be followed at
later succeeding functions.
Rev. j. Booth and wife were ar
rivals yesterday from st. Louis. Rev.
Booth comes to the city to succeed
Rev. e. A. Welke as pastor of the
German Lutheran church. Although
from much farther south, Rev. Booth
states he is not unfamiliar with this
section of the great west, since he
has served as pastor at several points
quite widely separated. Rev. and
Mrs. Booth are pleasant people to
meet and we are sure a cordial well
come will be given them as they come
to reside among us. Rev. Booth will
find all the church people of Madi-
son very friendly and charitably dis
posed toward each other.

the preceptress at the Madison State
Normal during his pastorate here and
at the time of their marriage. Many
of the old time friends will be pres
ent at the service tomorrow morn
ing to greet their former pastor and
friend. Better hear DR.. Jenkins in
the morning as there is a possibility
that he will go to Junius for the eve-
min.
