The ladies' circle of the Christian

Colo, 821 Uox Butte avenue, Wednes
day afternoon at 2:30. Plenty of
work on hand. A large attendance
ia desired.
FIRST NA1T1ST CHURCH
There will be a meeting of the
trustees and officers of the church
Wednesday evening. May 19th, at the
cnurch. This is a ery important
meeting ana it Is expected that every
wuiccr or me church will be present
J. ORKIN GOULD, Minister.
The Eastern Star will have their
regular meeting this evening for inl
tiation. Refreshments will He u.rvo.1
At that time the grand matron will
ue iniroaucea and welcomed.
The ordinary Alliance citizen has
done a good deal of crabbing about
the mud during the six seven or is
it nine? weeks of moisture of vari
ous kinJB, all of them wet. But, at
tiiui, the pedestrian has had no more
serious trouble than cleaning his
shoes or changing wet kox now and
lin n. Of course, a few people had to
fall down in the mud puddles, but
In most cases nobody saw them. The
fellows who have learned the true in
wardness of Mler during these days
of dampness have been the chariot
eers on the dray lines. Those who
have been wading through mud at
the crossing have been too busy curs
ing their own luck to notice the bie
number of stalled cars. And even
Monday afternoon, several hours
after the sun had been shining stead
ily, one heavily loaded dray stalled
at the entrance to an alley Just off
Box Butte. The charioteer descend
ed, and patiently and without undue
profanity proceeded to unload over
a thousand pounds of freight. He
got out of the hole, and three sec
onds later a second truck was stalled
In the same place. By1 the time a
team had dragged the second truck
to dry ground, the irst was Btalled
again a block farther along. Its this
sort of stuff that makes the draymen
boosters for the paving, and they
don't care how soon the contractors
get down to business. Neither do
the rest of us, for that matter.
Tli s Is Visitation week on the part
of the churches of the country. This
week It Is expected that the rtiem
! is of tho different churches will
rati upon the friendly people of the
city Willi a view especially of eecur
i;ig their membership In one of the
churches of the city. The ministe
rial association at its last regular
meeting agreed to go into this cam
paign, each churchh visiting Its own
constituency. Next Sunday Is the an
niversary of Pentecost and It Is ex
pected that the churches of the coun
try will receive quite a large number
of new members.
Tho Alliance police are Btlll hold
ing Alex Kosclskl, navy deserter who
surrendered at the local recruiting
office last week. Chief Taylor has
wired the naval authorities, and it
Is expected they will Bend for him
some of these days. t
W. F. Schramm of Columbus, who
has been in correspondence with the
chamber of commerce for s ome
wonthij relative to the establishment
of a wholesale grocery In Alliance,
Is expected to arrive in the city to
day or tomorrow, according to Sec
retary J. W. Guthrie, at which time
he will look over possible locations
and make a decision.
