The Gossip Club of our village
held their annual meeting at the
general store on last Saturday even
ing for the purpose of reorganizing
and election of officers. Those elect
ed were as follows: Elisha Jarvis,
president; Capt. ] Curtis Tracey,
vice president; Elm Turner, cor
responding secretary and treasurer;
trustee committee, Sharon Furman
and Samuel Davis. Some matters OF
business were discussed, one was
the appointment of a mayor, the
honor going to Samuel Davis. One
member was dropped from the club
for absenting himself and also for
failure to pay his dues, but may be
reinstated if he proves loyal and re-
ports a sufficient amount Of gossip
during the current year. The OBJ
ject of the club is to criticize and
spread gossip-any one desiring to
become a member must have the
above qualifications.
Recently one Of our neighbors de- !
clded he would purchase some pull
lets for laying, so he went to a poul-
try dealer and looked over his stock
and very soon a selection was made
OF fine promising layers, but after
the stock arrived at his home, and a
closer inspection revealed that he (
had purchased some chandeliers.
No doubt the poultry dealer had
good laugh and considered this a
good joke, but as this man is just
starting to raise chickens, we can '
overlook this sad mistake.
Miss Ellen Evans is bright and
sheerful and would seem q little
better.
