COBB Guilt on the Very Face of It By IRVIN S. COBB A GREAT many persons who know and admirtj the darky stories of E. K- Means are not aware that this author is, at his home in. Jackson, Miss., the Rev. E. K. Means, pastor of Galloway Memorial M E. Church, South. He is a zealous clergyman, a gifted speaker, and a fluent writer, but being, as befits a clergyman, a truthful man also, Mr. Means would be the last person to lay claim to great personal beauty. , . As his friend, I feel that I may repeat this story at his expense, especially as he himself told it to me. He had been gazing at my printed likeness and he was reminded of an experience of his own. I quote his words: "Once upon a time my picture was published in a small weekly newspaper in a village in Louisiana. I was standing in the post office when a farmer entered to get his mail. He- opened the little paper and gazed with fascination at my countenance. He held the sheet close to his nose, then extended it to arm's length, trying to focus his dim eyes on the vision. He fumbled in all his pockets and brought forth his hand3 empty of the thing he sought. . "Then he remarked to the world at large: " 'I left my specks home and I can't see who this here feller is. I don't know whut he done, neither, but by dam, he's guilty !' " (American Nw Features, Inc.). given the best of satisfaction. In that time he has seen many tiny tots en ter, pass through the grades and the high school and go out into the world to make names for themselves, as many have. 3 7 years is a long time and many noteworthy things can and do happen. Still the Elm wood schools go right on functioning, turning out students to matriculate in institutions of higher learning or enter the world of affairs, and Mr. Hulfish keeps the buildings and groundsin shape. W. C. T. U. Convention The Cass county convention of the Women's Christian Temperance Union was held at the parlors of the Methodist church in Elmwood on Tuesday afternoon, when the ladies had an excellent program and serv ed dinner at the basement of the church during the noon hour. Be sides looking alter the work which called the ladies together from dif ferent portions of the county, they were enjoying an excellent social time as well. Arc Very Industrious" Mesdames Emily Gonzales, Emil Rosenow, Fred Lake, Harry Linder, E. H. Greene ind Lucy Lyle were all in Lincoln last Monday Columbus day as it was a bank holiday and the two employes of the local finan cial institution could get away. AM the ladies were receiving instruction in the matter of knitting, as they are engaged in the knitting of dresses for themselves at this time. Visited Friends Here Rev. Daniel P.ornemeler, formerly of Elmwood, where he was salesman in the Fuller store, living with his mother here, but who has been at Mascot, where he is pastor of an Evangelical church, attended the re cent Missionary conference held in Lincoln, and took advantage of the opportunity to come to Elmwood to visit relatives and old friends. While here, he visited his friend Charles West, the barber, and had his hair cut, as he likes the way Mr. West always cuts it. In Union There is . . Heat It has been said that in Union there is strength, and it follows as common logic that in union there are many other good things. Here in Elmwood a union has been effected that brings "heat." Not the kilid we do not care to have turned on us, but the radiant sort that keeps one's shin-bones warm in winter. Three o) cur business houen, N. D. Bothwell, the hardware store and that of Her man Penterman, which adjoin each other, have been connected to the same heating plant, so situated that it can supply ample warmth for the entire set of buildings and at a cost considerably less than required o heat each one separately. EelpingJJare for Mother Mrs. Henry Penterman departed Wednesday morning for Osceola, at which place her mother, Mrs. Henry Shadley, is very sick at the home of another daughter, Mrs. David Adair, with whom she has been residing. The daughters are concerned that the mother receive the best of care and expect to have her placed in the old folks' home at the Emanuel hos pital in Omaha, where they are as sured she will receive expert care and the best of medical attention. Morris Penterman drove the moth er over to Osceola in their car Wed nesday morning, returning home in the evening. .
