Sunday School association was
held at the Baptist church in
Stella last Wednesday and Thursday
A
day , and was one of the best ses
sions since its organization. The
delegates numbered sixty which
is a goodly representation , and
these together with the large
number of interested parties in
attendance , kept the church full
nearly all the time.

Falls City ; roll call and a brief
respnose from each school stating
progress and work accomplished
during the year ; assignment of
delegates to places of entertain
ment. There were only about
half as many delegates as there
were places of entertainment ,
which speaks well for the hospi

ing hours afford a pleasing rec
reation for the members.
Those in the club are Misses

At the Lakes.
A large crowd from this place
went to tin * Missouri lakes last
Sunday to witness the exten
sively advertised ball game be
tween the Kills City Colt * and
the Mound City team. It was a
hot dusty drive to the lakes but
a ball game always compensates
one for the temporary discom
forts. Rucgge , Cornell , Foster
and Poleet being absent rather
crippled our strength , but the
Colts went in the ring.
The grand stand was lull of
enthusiasts and two sides ot the
diamond were lined with them.
Mound City has a fair team but
they could not touch our boys
under half-way ordinary cir
cumstances.
The diamond was not of the
regulation size but was in good
condition considering the sur
rounding country. Our boys
hit Mound City's pitcher all
over but didn't have much luck
in the rest of the game.
Sears and Myers had excel
lent luck at the bat , while
Glines was there all the time.
Heacock and Mary Foehlinger
came in with their reliable
plays , while Heck and Gagnon
kept the flag ailoat. Harvey
Foehlinger is gradually becom
ing a full grown "boss , " ' while
Strickler of Craig is well known
in basejball circles.
Although the day was hot
and dusty , and "fishy" water
was tarnished the Colts , al
though the diamond was small
and the barbed wire fence so
close , although the Colts did
not all respond to roll call , still
the trip was worth the dough
and then some. Score stood 14
to 8 , favor of Mound City. A
good place to fish , to swim and
to go boating ( if you don't take
a header overboard ) , what more
could one wish for on a sum
mer's day.
The Colts go to Mound City
the Fourth for a game. Proph
ecy score If ) to 0 in favor of
Falls City.
Decorate Graves.
The members of the local
I. O. 0. F. order met at their
hall Sunday afternoon and from
there went to the Steele ceme
tery where they decorated
thirty-six graves of departed
brethren.
Board of Supervisors.
At their meeting last Satur
day the Board of Supervisors
investigated the case of Dennis
Hobbs of Ilumboldt and con
cluded that the proper method
was to procure him a ticket to
Pierre , S. D. , where his parents
reside. This action was taken
as the fellow is feeble-minded
and the board thought his home
was the proper place for him ,
where he would receive care and
attention , and that they were
the proper authorities to look
after the case.
Meeting Old Friends.
While in Omaha last week at
tending the convention of post
masters I took time to run over
to Council Bluffs , Iowa , for a
short visit with Uncle John
Ilutchins and his family. They
luive a fine home , well located ,
paved streets , electric lights ,
good street car service and
everything convenient. Their
daughter Alice is married to
one ot Iowa's noblemen by the
name of Walker. They also
live in Council Bluffs. All are
prosperous nnd happy and
wished me to remember them to
their many friends in Falls City.
I theretore take this method to
do so. G. J. CUOOK.
An Elaborate Affair.
One of the most extensive
and elaborate social affairs of
the season was given last Fri
day evening by the A. 0. U. W.
and D. of II. orders in the Ma
sonic hall.
An interesting program had
been prepared and the guests
were exceedingly sorry that it
was not more lengthy. A chorus
of girls voices was a feature of
the evening's program , the } '
being forced to respond to sev
eral encores.
Wilina Oline is quite a gifted
speaker and delighted those
present with her brilliant read
ings.
The drill by the little folks
was a splendid affair , showing
much care in the preparation.
Una Snidow sang a solo in
that charming manner which
lends appreciation to the selec
tion. Miss Snidow possesses an
exceptionally sweet and liar-
monious voice and it is a treat
to hear her sing.
Anita Wilson , accompanied
by her mother , Mrs. C. M. Wil
son , rendered a violin solo ,
which was perfection itself.
After the rendition of the pro
gram , refreshments consisting
of ice cream and cake were
served. The remainder of the
evening was devoted to a gen
eral social , time completing
the pleasures of the evening' .
