There was a large attendance, and much • interest a.-d enthusiasm. Mrs. Mrs. Granger being absent, Mrs. H. E. Cary, the first vice-president presided, dispatching the business with promptness and ability. The treasury of the club is in good condition, the debts paid up and a balance on hand. Mrs. Green reported for the li brary committee, the library in good shape: some new books have been added lately, and others will be bought from time to time. The rag carpet for the library is not yet made. The committee want about ten more pounds .of rags —Please, some one, help out. ►The carpet will have red as the prevailing color and will add not only to the comfort, but the beau ty of the room.

After the business meeting, a delightful program on the current events of the month was given. The next meeting will be held at the clvb rooms on the afternoon of the 2ind, at three o clock, and (will be in charge of the village im provement committee. The following resolutions draft ed by the village improvement committe and unanimously en dorsed by the club, were sent be fore the mayor and council on last Thursday night. They speak for themselves, and we all feel the needs they recite. PLEA FOR ORDER AND CLEANLINESS BY VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE. The following has been present ed to the mayor and council of the city by the village improvement committee of the Women s club: do the Honorable Mayor and Council: Gentlemen: The undersigned represent the village improvement committee of the Woman s club. We are not all Methodists, but all of us endorse that notable saying of John Wesley, that “cleanliness is akin to Godliness. A dirty town indicates a dirty people, and a dirty people are not fit for heav en. The condition of your streets and sidewalks and the bad odors from some of the dens along them are mortifying to all the ladies and some of the men. Some of the fences aldng the sidewalks that are the most frequented are in a shameful condition. Look at those pailings near the Methodist church on Ervin street and those on Market, and there are many others like them in different parts ( of the city. Your sidewalks are a stumbling block to delicate wo men and decrepid men. If the town plumber digs across them to lay a pipe he leaves a hill and two hollows after every excavation. The men do not care very much, but the ladies do. We cannot vote and do not wish to, but we ask for a respectful hearing on the propriety of havmg_axlvanjv_tovvn^ MOZLHJY’S LhiMON BILIXIR A Pleasant Lemon Tonic. prepared from the fresh juice of lem ons, combi nnd with other vegetable <*iver tonics, cathartics, aromatic stim ulants.

If we could have our way, the sidewalks would be relaid in all the bad places and be kept clean from filth and diit and the negro dens would be abolished or kept in sanitary condition. Your mar shall should be instructed to scat ter the id’e loungers who gather there and will not give the way to respectable ladies. He should stop negroes from smoking in the postoffice to the disgust and an noyance of the ladies who have to go there. One bad odor is enough. We cannot serenely breathe tobac co and the odor d’afrique at the same time. Let the town awake to the dawn of anew century and put on a clean shirt, and do please compel owners and tenants to hang their gates on the inside. Some of our good citizens are greatly annoyed by the open gates that obstruct the sidewalks Mrs. H. E. Cary. Mrs. W. P. Laramore, Mrs, P. S. Shellman, Miss Jessie Cobb, Mrs. S. O. Brumby, Mrs. L. S. Munford. Endorsed by the club. Two new members were at the meeting, Mrs. Ambler and Miss Jessie Cobb. New names are con stantly being added and the club is growing. There is one rule of the library which, unfortunately people aie disposed to ignore. This is in each book on the slip where the number is recorded, and it is to the effect that for books kept out over two weeks a fine of two cents per day will be imposed. It is un pleasant to the lady having the li brary in charge to have to insist on the paywent of these fines, but it is a matter of business entirely. It is hoped that delinquents will pay up. These little sums help to pay the running expense of the li brary. And when you get a book which is beginning to wear out, do please paste on the back, sew in the loose leaves and help on the good work. A SMALL MAHER SOMETIMES INVOLVES LARGE RESULTS. There is as much difference in seed Irish potatoes as there is in day and night. Some potatoes make vines, while others makes potatoes. We have seed for which we pay in lots of ten and twenty barrels, $1 <SO per bushel 40 cents per peck. We have other pota toes we offer at $1,20 per bushel or 30 cents per peck. Which would be more preferable? A peck of potatoes that will make you, when properly cultivated, 5 to 10 bush els of potatoes, the seed costing you 50 cents, or a peck that will make j oil ten bushels of vines and a few knotty things not worth the gathering, that cost you 30 or 35 cents. Would it not be wiser to pay $2 per bushel for seed that will insure good results, than to have inferior seed donated you.

Apprehension prevails here as to the possibility of an attempt to desecrate the mausoleum at Frogmore in which Queen Victoria is entombed. Not content with a strong guard of police that has until now kept watch over it, by order of the king the authorities have established a strong military post there and soldiers are to assist the police in future in keeping guard over the body of the late queeu. That the arrangement is to be a per manent one is apparent from the fact that a guardhouse of considerable di mensions is being built in the immedi ate vicinity of the mausoleum.

Peking, March 11. — Companies A and Bof the Ninth United States infantry have been notified that they are to re- i main in China. Many Americans here urge the legation to use its influence to have at least two field guns and enough artillerymen to work them left.

Germans report that in the recent en gagement near Pao Ting-Fu 250 Chinese were killed and four magazine guns were captured. There were no German losses. The American field telegraph line which was constructed here ceased op erations and the wire has beeu coiled iu preparation for shipment to Manila.

WORD, The Druggist, ARRINGTON'S TESTED GARDEN SEED. HARRISON SERIOUSLY ILL. Ills Physician Ssays the Crisis Is Near at Hand. Indianapolis, March 11.— The illness of General Harrison, although not criti cal at this time, is so serious that his physician, Dr. Henry Jamison, yester day six.mt most of lus time at his bed side and called into consultation Dr. Evan Hadley. Dr. Frank Dorsey has for several days beeu iu constant at tendance upon the ex-presideut Dr. Jamison left the general last night at 10 o'clock, and a little later said: “General Harrison was taken ill Thursday with a chill. At that time his ailment had all the symptoms of the grip. There developed after that a pretty sharp congestion in the left side, involving the intercostal nerves and also the pleura of the upper part of the left lung. With that came lever, his temperature rising 2 or3 degrees. There was also increased respiration. He has since been in the same same wav. He has not been very uncomfortable. With the exception of the pain suffered yosterday, he has been suffering but little i>aiu. His temperature is and has beeu lor some hours about 102 3-5, his respiration 30 to 36. and his pul-e keeps at about 90. His puise is good, but the upper part of his left lung is more or less iuflamed. His danger lies in the exteusion of this inflammation. His mind is clear, although he is some what iuclined to go into a sort of dreamy sleep. When awake his mind is per fectly clear. Ido not consider him iu a critical condition at this time, but there is some danger in the exteusion of this inflammation. ” Dr. Jamison said his patient’s condi tion was such that a crisis would proba bly be reached within 24 or 36 hours, at which time he would either grow grad ually worse or better. He thought there was no danger of sudden collapse. The greatest danger is due to his age, which is somewhat against resistance of uu at tack of pneumonia. Ex*President Is Hopeful.

BOERS FIGHT FOR BRITISH Former Burghers Now Hearing Arms Against Their Brethren.

Over 13,000 refugees tire now within the British lines, and many of them demand arms and permission to take the field.
