The party goers called on Miss Agnes Carey last Friday evening and found her a genial and pleasant hostess. The p-irty was well attended and all present had the usual good time.

They will make their headquarters at Biloxi, Miss. The following article was contributed by Mrs. H. W. Allen: "The Universalist people have been folding a series of evening services in Woodman hall during the past week.' State Snperintendent J. S. Cook, D. D., of Galesbuag, was present and preached nvery evening except Wednesday. Dr. Cook is a pleasant and forceful speaker and pleads with telling effect that the Christ spirit shall animate our lives and mould and shape our characters. At the closing service on Sunday evening twelve new members were received in­ to the church. It may be said of this lust that the services served as the oc­ casion rather than the cause; as, for the most, part the candinates were persons to whom the Universalist interpretation of Jesus' teachings and mission are not lew, and to whom church membership has for some time past appealed strong ly both as a duty and a privilege. The services and the example of these friends cannot bnt react helpfully to tne whole community. Last Wednesday eveuing a small gathering of Woodmen met at the M W. A. baU and listened to Mr. Mc Allen of Sterling, Mo,, who is one of the lect urers the Woodmen are sending c the country to speak npon re-organiza tion and re-adjustment. He spoke for fully three hours and presented many plans and several different tabulated tables whereby the order might be placed upon a firm financial basis for ill time, while its stability might be recognized throughout the world Most all of the rates and plans as shown and explained tend to create a reserve fund which wonld positively meet all obligations, thereby insuring each and every policy-holder the face value of his holdings. This certainly would be commendable and a praise-worthy un­ let taking if it were not for the extreme­ ly high rate which re-organization will eventually bring. Thus the mass of members Will be sacrificed for the few, because the largest majority must nec­ essarily let their family protection lapse as it would be almost impossible to carry the amounts they now carry without denying themselves some of the necessities of life From now until February 1 I will sell all STORM, SQUARE and STABLE BLANKETS, FUR and-PLUSH ROBES FOR 75 CENTS ON THE This is a snap and one that you should take advantage of.
