adjourned to the parlors in Thlele's

freshments. The little friends re
membered Arthur with many useful
and beautiful gifts, to remind him of
the occasion.
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. Renswold w.8 hostess
number of lady friends in compli
ment to Mrs. Reck, last Friday after
noon. The hours were spent in an
informal manner, and refreshments
were served near the close. The list
of guests included Mesdames Barnes,
Fernald, Smith, Dietleln, Wills.
Saturday night the neighbors of
Mr. and Mrs. D. G. Bates In the Mc
Corkle block surprised them with an
entertainment in honor of Mrs.
Bates' mother and sister, Mrs. A. Mc
Kenna and Miss Fern McKenna, of
Boise, Idaho, who are visiting them
here. They enjoyed a pleasant even
ing. Mrs. Rowan will entertain the
Woman's Federated Club Friday af
ternoon and the subject will be
"American Travel". Roll call will be
responded to with current events.
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.
The boys belonging to the basket
ball teams of the Methodist Sunday
school, with their friends, were en
