The meeting was called to order hi fi. G. Taylor, president of the Com mercial Club, with W. S. Waite, sec retary of the club as acting secretary. President Taylor then stated the object of the meeting and a vote be ing taken as to whether such associ ation should be formed, said vote was unanimous in favor of same. Upon suggestion of Judge Wall, a committee af live, composed of Henry Beck, Judge Wall, George Zeigler, F. T. Richmond and Clarence Burt, were elected to look into the matter, find what other counties were doing, formulate a constitution and by-laws, and give advisory information on all matters pertaining to the organiza tion of a County Agricultural Society. William Hancock was then elected temporary chairman and A. E. Chase temporary secretary. After discussion upon various phases of an organization, relating to membership, dues, permanent officers, place and time of holding said associ ation meetings each year, adjourn ment was taken until Saturday after noon, May 31, at 2 o’clock, when said committee of five was instructed to report and permanent organization would be perfected. It is understood that, according to a law passed by the last legislature, •400 will be appropriated to each county forming a fair association along above lines, as premiums on agricultural exhibit;, live stock, etc., with no purses for races nor any other pm poses whatsoever. It is necessary in order to secure the above appropri ation, that a permanent county fair association should be organized and at least $50 in membership*- fees be secured. It is to be hoped at the next meet ing that there may be a generous at tendance from all portions of the county. - DECORATION DAY PROCRAM Memorial Sunday, May 25th Services for Memorial Sunday will be held at the Presbyterian church.

George Schnltz in Los Angeles We received a letter from George Schultz last week from Los Angeles, where he and hisfamily are at present. He writes entertaingly, as follows: “We arrived here April 28th. We have had fine weather here all the | time. It never gets hot nor cold and i the wind never blows hard. This is | as nice a place to live in as one could wish, and when it comes to cost of living, you can live heie for about one-half what it costs in Loup City. Fruits and vegetables are not half as high, and you can buy a two-gallon pail of oranges for 10 cents and other fruit and vegetables proportionally ; cheap, while fresh fish are only 8 cents I per pound. Regards to yourself and i i family and ail enquiring friends,” etc.i * ■' v- 1 Death of Mrs. G. Biemond Last Friday afternoon, May 16,1913, Mrs. C. Biemond of this city, who had suffered a paralytic stroke the Sunday morning previous, passed into the Mystic Beyond, just before the shades of evening came on. While her con. dition was known to be serious, our people were unprepared for the sad news of the death of the good woman, who was universally loved and re spected by all. Ber funeral occurred from the home Sunday afternoon, all the children, with the stricken hus band, being present when she breathed her last, interment being in Bver green cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Bie mond had concluded their arrange ments for another visit to the old country, within the next three weeks* when death entered the home and took the loving wife and affectionate mother away. Our people in their entirety will deeply sympathize with them in their sad bereavement. Wilhelmina Tuinzaad was born October 1st, 1843, near Rotterdam, Holland. On May 27th, 1867, she was united in marriage to Cornelius Bie mond, and they came to America in the fall ft 1884, locating in Sherman county, Nebraska, where they had lived ever since. To this union, eleven children were bom, six dying in infancy, leaving three sons—Jacob of Valley Ford, Wash., John of Lew ellen, Neb., and M&rtenus of Loup City, and two daughters—Mrs. Peter Hoogenboozen of Spokane, Wash., and Mrs. A. P. Delyster, of Usk, Wash., besides the husband and father, living to mourn their loss. Deceased was a member of the Dutch Reformed church, but in Loup City was a regu lar attendant on the services at the Methodist church, whose pastor, Dr. D. A. Lee per, officiated at the last sad rites. _ Card of Thanks We desire to express our heartfelt thanks to the brothers of the I.O.O.F., Sisters of Rebekah and the friends and neighbors who have so kindly given of their aid and sympathy in the illness and death of our beloved wife and mother. C. Biemond and Family. Sudden Death From Ptomaine Poisoning Last Thursday evening at Arcadia occured the death of a Mrs. Christ iansen, aged some 45 years from ptomaine poisoning. At supper time, she ate a bowl of tomato soup, was in a short time taken violently ill and about 8 o'clock, within two hours, was dead. Baccalaareate Services Last Sunday evening at the opera house occurred the Baccalaureate services, standing room being at a premium and many not being able to attend for lack of seating capacity, the largest crowd being in attendance ever called to that amusement palace. The program opened with a march played by Mrs. B. P. Starr, as the teachers followed by the graduating class passed down the center aisle to seats reserved for them. Following came the prelude by our accomplished pianist, Miss Ernestine Odendahl, and song, “America,” by the vast audience. i Invocation was then given by Dr, D. A. Leeper, followed by a pleasing solo from Prof. Kendrick, with Miss Fay Gallaway as accompanist. Scripture reading by Dr. Leeper was followed by an excellent solo by Mrs. R. H. Mathew, with Miss Florence Depew as accompanist. The class sermon came next, de livered by Rev. J. C. Tourtellotin his usual able manner. A magnificent solo by Mr. M. Wor lock, recently here from England, with Miss Florence Depew as accom panist. closed the program, and ben ediction was given by Rev. Mr. Barrett of Grand Island. HYMENEAL Grow-Conger Wednesday morning of this week, May 21, 1913, at the early hour of six o'clock, occurred the marriage of two of Loup City's most popular knd well known young people, Clifton James Grow and Miss Henrietta E. Conger, the ceremony taking place at the home of the bride’s parents, County Judge Smith officiating, after which the young couple left on the motor for their future home at Leaven worth, Washington, where the groom has a good position with a big mill company. The groom is the youngest son of Postmaster and Mrs. D. C. Grow while the bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Conger, all of this city.' The marriage of these young people comes in the nature of a hap py surprise to our people and regret that they go to make their home in a distant country, but will follow t them with best wishes for their fu ture.
