can prepare ourselves for the celebration
by refreshing our minds with the story of
these great religious souls. This is the
most enhancing period of our national
history, and if America is to maintain
, her pre-eminence amongst the nations we
need to have our children learn afresh the
story Of the Pilgrims and catch the in
spiration of these heroic lives. Let all
who love America and what she has stood
for during the past three centuries spend
an hour in renewing our acquaintance
with these brave men and women who
suffered the hardships of the wilderness
that they might find "freedom to worship
God;" and who by their force of character
and loyalty to what they conceived to be
right, laid the foundations of this great
republic. Parents, teachers and young
people from our schools are cordially in
vited to attend the first of three stereop-
ticon lectures to be given in the North
Congregational Church next Sunday
evening at 7.30. Subject of lecture: ''The
Foregleams of Liberty" A collection
will be taken to defray expense of hiring
slides.
Costume Party. A Costume Party will
be held in The parlors of the North Con-
gregational Church on Wednesday even
ing, March 10th, at 7 o'clock, under the
auspices of the Minetoska Club. A pro-
gram will be given, after which games
will be enjoyed and refreshments served.
A hearty invitation given to all. Admis-
sion 20 cents.

Whereas it was advised last week that

and that all names must be written in on
the ballots.
A list of the present City Government,
with such few changes as were unavoid-
able, will be handed to the voters at each
