Mrs. Clara Mowerson pleasantly entertained the Ladies' Aid Society on Thursday.

A special meeting of the school board will be called to consider new text books.

Mrs. Ed. Coleman will wait on her many friends at Johnson's restaurant.

The farmers living on the direct line of rural delivery object strenuously to free delivery, as it means discontinuing of the postoffice here. By such a change they will be denied the advantage of postoffice orders, etc. unless they chance to meet the mail carrier, who no doubt will be endowed with all the powers of a fourth-class postoffice. Our genial postmaster, Robert Shankland, has filled that capacity ever since it was organized here and by his pleasant and accommodating manner has won the respect of everybody. Mr. Sankland's promptness in attending to all matters of mail places his work above reproach.
