Tho School Building1 Meeting.
The meeting called for Wednes
day evening to discusB the new
high school building was attended
by a fair crowd. Mayor Bratt
called the meeting to order and
W. L. Park was chosen chairman.
A rcsolutiou was adopted providing
for the selection of a committee of
six to confer with the board of edu
cation in regard to matter relative
to tnc erection ol the scliool build
ug, tlucc of such committee to be
selected by the chairman of the
meeting and the president ot the
school board, and the other three
by the Commercial Club. Chair
man Park and President Robinson
named Major Walker. H. M.
Grimes and C. F. Scharmanu. one
from each ward. The Commer
cial Club named II. S. White, W.
L. Park and M. C. Harrington as
ts share of the committee, and
those six gentlemen were declared
to be the committee which will act
in conjunction with the board of
education.
Jof.eph Weeks objected to the
Comu-crcial Club intcrfcrring with
the duties ol the school board, but
Mr. Robinson and Mr. Sorensou
assured the meeting that they, as
members of the board, were glad
the committee had been appointed
and we arc informed the other
members of the board express
themselves in the same vein.
Some talk as to the removal of
the building to the west part of
town, and also aa to whether the
present building should be torn
dosvn. was indulged in, but it
seemed to be the sense of the meet-
that such matters should be left
to the school board and the com
mittee appointed.
A Grand Social Success.
The first annual ball of lodge
No. 180, International Association
of Machinists, held at the opera
house Wednesday evening was an
unqualified social success, and the
members of the local lodge have
every reason to feel proud of their
initial effort. The attendance was
very large, the floor being crowded
with merry dancers and the gallery
tilled with spectators. The build
ing was brilliantly lighted and
decorated to some extent, the
music excellent and the floor and
reception committees were cour
teous and painstaking to see that
everyone thoroughly enjoyed the
affair and the committees were
certainly successful in their efforts.
There was, apparently, nothing
lett undone which would
increase the enjoyment
dancers.
The grand march, in
about seventy-five
part, was led by Mr
H. Fikes, Jr., and from the comple
tion ol the march until 2:30 the
twenty-four dances followed each
other iu rapid succession; an hour,
however being given at midnight
for supper.

Mother and Babe
NONE but a mother knows the
pains, anguish and dread tlut a
woman endures before and during
childbirth. And still nearly all this suf- f
fering is unnecessary. The faithful use of
MOTHER'S FRIEND
will in great measure overcome every
distressing symptom, and labor itself will
not be a very serious ordeal. Remember
that MOTHER'S FRIEND Is an ex
ternal liniment that softens and rel
tlie muscles, and is not a dmr.onjeal
compound of opiates to swalfoj js ovor.
