TWENTY SECOND YEAR
Ever Charming Childrens Day Exercises
Childrens day is one of tho insf
tions most Americans take pleasure and
satisfaction in observing for ar all
there is nothing more helpful than tho
children They afford us our brightest
outlook in life it is always a delight to
hear them oven when tho taste palls
The Congregational church was filled
Sunday evening to witness and hear the
services by tho children of that Sunday
school The program embraced musical
literary numbers by tho children and
afforded keen nnd appreciated pleasure
to all The church was decorated flo
rally for tho occasion palms ferns pot
ted flowering plants and cut flowers
galore making an attractive background
of emerald and color for the services and
youthful participants A collection was
taken for the advancement of Sunday
school work in the state of Nebraska
A Grand Lecture Lantern Entertainment
Prank R Robersons lecture on Im
perial India Tuesday evening in the
opera hall under Junior Normal auspi
ces fairly took the audience by storm
McCook has never seen and heard the
equal Roberson has traveled far and
wide for many years is a close observer
and has superior powers of description
His ability as a word painter comports
well with tho high excellence of his
views and their artistic projection on
canvas The views were exquisite
charming and the lecture was superb
but a little too rapid in delivery for the
greatest comfort to the hearer this fail
ing being perhaps unavoidable The
opera house ought to have been crowded
A O U W Memorial Services
The members of the Workman lodge
and of the Degree of Honor observed
their annual Memorial day last Sunday
afternoon in usual form The order
marched to the Congregational church
in tho afternoon at two oclock where
they listened to a sermon by Rev F W
Dean appropriate to the occasion Af
ter services in the church a detachment
of Workmen marched and a large body
of ladies of the Degree rode to the cem
eteries of tho city where garlands were
placed on tho graves of departed mem
bers of the twin orders and over tho last
resting places of members of families of
Workmen
Pythian Memorial Sunday
Memorial services Knights of Pythias
will be held in the Episcopal church
next Sunday afternoon at 3 oclock Rev
E R Earle of St Albans delivering the
sermon The Knights will assemble at
their castle hall at two oclock to march
in organization to the church After
services in the chapel the members will
proceed to the city cemeteries and deco
rate the graves of deceased Knights and
of deceased members of families of
Knights
We Have
Your
Hammock
The rest comfort and enjoyment you
get out of a hammock is always worth
many times its cost

proved in tho last few years and we
think the lines we are showing this year
will provide more comfort than the
styles of previous years
