time.
G, "W. Brown has lately impro
ved the appearance of his residence

"for keeps."

Neighbors of this district, gave a
short talk upon the benefits of that

'The Jiner" that not only amused
the audience but hit the nail
square on the head in that respect.
She was followed by Rev. Green of
Blair who spoke for a short time
upon the Woodman beneficiaries
It was an interesting talk and
highly pleased all present. After

over three-hundred partook of the

their respective places of abode
highly elated over the proceedings
of the evening. The members and
assistants surely did themselves
proud and scored a great victory
for their enmp.
