Whereupon, court adjourned, , l 0, E, Brunron, Olerk.x B. M. meeting of the Epworth League met at the the Methodist parson age. On aooount of the president and vice president being absent, Bro. Simmons, on motion, took the chair. The 2nd vice president made a splendid report of her work in the charity and help department last month. ^ Bro. Fred M. Houser moved that ^ committee be appointed to invite all the children over 12 years of age to join the League. The motion was carried and the committee is to be appointed at the next religious meeting of the League. There being rrc> other business the League on motion adjourned for 10 minutes. After intermission, the meeting was called to order by Miss Leo nora Edwards,, the 3rd vice presi dent, and the following program rendered was certainly a rare and entertaining treat: Misses Lou ise and Bessie Dasher capably ex ecuted a vooal Duet, “What are the Wild Waves saying?” follow ed by Prof. W. W. Driskell who recited “The Boys!.” Prof. Dris- kell’s talents in this direction in have hitherto been unknown to us, but so well did he reoite, that by this one effort he has made for him self an established reputa tion. Miss Martha Killen then sang in her accomplished manner, ‘ ‘ Little April Fool, ’ ’ after which was an instumental Duet,“Kaliph DeBagdad,” by Miss Maybelle Dasher and Mrs. Simmons. It cerCkinly was a master piece mas terfully performed. , Misses Mary and Leonora Ed wards then beautifully delivered a vocal duet, “Gently Row Gon dolier.” After which Mrs. Sim mons concluded the programme with a vocal solo. On account of being so kind and obliging as well as being so capable,she makes a valuable addition to our church. Thus ended one of the most pleasant and intertaining meet ings our Leauge ever held. Secretary. Ben Hill Academy. By Reporter. . There was to have been an oys ter supper at the Ben Hill school building on Jan. 81, but on ac count of the rain the crowd was small and the expenses were bare- ly covered. We are not to be de feated, however, and respectfully beg the attention oi the public to another announcement. On Friday night, Feb. 14th, 1902, an oyster supper will be giv en at the Ben'Hill Academy for the benefit of a library. Other refreshments will be served. There will be no admissioff charge at the door. Everything will be on the European plan. Come and get your money’s worth. Plenty of music will be furnished by the pupils. We are better prepared by the former experience to entertain the crowd and we guarantee good time to all. School is progressing nicely. There are sixty-five pupils enroll ed and there is a likelihood of sev eral more soon.. The pupils have organized two societies, which are interesting and instructive. The musie class is in good training and the largest we know of in the county. —s>0 Been Hunting 1 Twenty Years. Windfield Iowa, Nevemeber 24, 1900.
