CHURCH ENTERTAINED
AT THE WILES HOME
The Helpers of Hie Christian
church met at the home of Mrs.
Thomas Wiles yesterday after
noon anl were entertained in a
most hospitable and delightful
manner. In spite of the cold
weather there were a large num
ber of the ladies in attendance,
for although it was cold outside,
there was warmth, flowers and
cheer within, and after their ar
rival the fruests soon forgot
ah'ut it being cold outside. At
these meetings the ladies usually
have some particular subject
which they discuss. The topic for

"I'rayn." Roll call was re

The roll call was followed by a
few remarks by Rev. Hollowell.
Mrs. Philip Rihn and Mrs. M. A.

.were very much appreciated, by
the guests. This little program
was a very pleasinir feature of
the afternoon's entertainment.
Tor the occasion the parlors of
the Wiles home had been made
very attractive with decorations
characteristic of the season. At
the proper time an excellent
luncheon was served, to which all
did ample justice. Mrs. Wiles
was assisted in entertaining by
Mesdames Philip Rihn and P. I.
Hates, and on their departure the
guests extended their warmest
thanks to the hostesses for the
splendid afternoon's entertain
ment afforded them.

Lighting" company caused a
breakdown of the current for
several minutes and the patrons
of the company began a search
for lamps and candles for use in
cae of emergency, but luckily
the shut-down was for only a few
minutes. The company has suf
fered several annoyances in the
last few days, and only day be
fore yesterday a tree along; the
line between Red Oak and Mal
vern blew down, causing a slight
break in the service, and the Mal
vern plant was called on to sup
ply the current for the lines west
of that city until the damage
caused could be repaired.

one of the factors in the growth
and prosperity of this community
until his retirement from active
business in 1900. and removal to
I. os Angeles in 11H1.
This firm has steadily grown
in business stature and favor
with the people of this com
munity. During these thirty-five
years they have experienced
many of the ups and downs of
business life, have seen numer
ous competitors come and go. but
in it all have held to a straight
and steady purpose to always
give the people their money's
worth and handle only depend
able merchandise.
We congratulate them upon
the success achieved, and the
high standing which they hold in
this community. They now oc
cupy one of the choicest corners
in the cily, with a modern front
and fitted up with the latest im
proved cases and fixtures. Tin
present firm is composed of C. C.
and E. II. Wescoll, who have en
deavored to uphold the standards
and principles of their father, the
founder.
