A box social is to be held at the Itted school house Friday evening, March 3, to which n cordial invita tion Ib extended by the teacher, MisB Bye.

Master Arthur Lunn entertained about twenty of his little boy and girl frlenda Tuesday afternoon, the occasion being his eighth birthday, and from reports we learn that the young folks heartily enjoyed the an niversary of their favorite.

The ladies of tli Kastern Star chapter report a successful evening Tuesday night, when they held their "parcel post" salu of hand made ar ticles. Over one hundred dollars was cleared and the social time was enjoyed. A good crowd attended, and W. O. Barnes proved himself an efficient auctioneer. The articles in packages sold well and brought a just remuneration, while the refresh ments which could be obtained at a fair cost went like "hot cakes" and all heartily expressed their appreci ation of the good time and at the same time the ladles felt the affair well worth their efforts. Rev. and Mrs. J. B. Cams were agreeably surprised at the Methodist parsonage when a company of people numbering about forty, consisting of members of the Ladles' Aid society and families, assembled and went in for a pleasant evening with their pas tor and wife. The self-invited guests had laid arrangements for the enter ( tainment and were cordially welcom j ed by the surprised ones. A -"church trial" held the attention of those In attendance for several hours. As ' previously arranged. Rev. Haislup war. judge of the court, and Mrs. Sharp, police matron, was sheriff. Thi prosecuting attorney was Wil- liam Lunn. and attorney for defense wan C. A. Dow. Jury consisted of ' Rev. Cams, Mrs. Pate, Mrs. Acheson, j Mr. Drake and Mrs. Watson. Num erous witnesses were called and tend ed to make the mock affair very In I terestlng. The prisoner at the bar I was Mrs. Gregory, who la president 340 of the LadleB' Aid. She was brought Into court by Sheriff Sharp ' on a charge of embezzlement brought against the society, it being charged that she or some of the other officers had taken money under false pre tenses. Mrs. Pate, who is an officer of the Aid, was finaly implicated on a charge of taking money from her husband while he slept. After the jury had discussed the question be fore the house they contended that Mrs. Pate had a right to the money, and in no way was guilty of the ac quisition. Mr. Cams, as foreman of the jury, finally succeeded in clear ing the suspect and the prisoner. The affair surely furnished amusement, and was the life of the evening. The M. E. Aid were entertained at the home of Mrs. A. P. Brown yester day afternoon. The refreshments were delicious and a fairly good at tendance is reported at the meeting. Mrs. A.

Mrs. Slagle will give information of "Glacier Park"; Mrs. Reed will give a talk on "Crater Lake" and Mrs. Rhein will give vocal selections. This meeting wil doubtless be one of the most Interesting as a study of the "home country" should always arouse more intrinsic feelings and awaken new enthusiasm for one's own country.
