WITH THE CLUB LADIES
A departure from the regular study
course was made by the Etaerio Club
in the observance of the Pilgrim Ter-
centenary on the 18th inst Up6n ar-
riving at the club house the members
donned caps and Wercheifs in Pilgrim
style, and were surprised to find them
so becoming.
The program embraced a general
talk on the Pilgrims, their determina-
tion, industry, perseverance and thrift;
arts and crafts of the Pilgrims, lead-
ers of the movement, the children of
the Mayflower, the history of Ply-
mouth Rock, and the singing of
America.
At the close of the proJFStn the
members were delighted to receive
what was called portions of Plymouth
Rock and proved te be cleverly cons-
tructed chickens of the well known Ply-
mouth Rock variety mounted on cards;
these souvenirs gave further sugges-
tion of the coat of arms of Miles Stan-
dish “A cock argent, combed and wat-
tled gules.”
« In contrast with the sterness of
manners of the Pilgrims and their sim-
plicity of living, the club house glis-
tened with evidence of the coming
Yuletide festival, the reflection of red
and green giving an inspiration to
merriment.
Adding to the interest of the pro-
gram were several articles of by-gone
days, a table by Mrs. Bradshaw, which
came over in the “Anne and little Ja-
mes,” the ship arriving next after the
Mayflower, and other articles loaned
by Mr. Heinze from His collection.
Those taking part in the prog»Lm
were as follows:, Mesd. Watson, Va-
nek, Garrard, Willrich, and W. Tho-
mas, and Misses Esie and Gertrude
Alexander. Mrs. Alley of Forest City,
Arkansas, was a gpest.

If you have no appetite for your
meals, something is wrong in your di-
gestive organs. Take a dose or two of
Prickly Ash Bitters, the medicine for
men. It cleanses the stomach, liver
and bowels create appetite, vigor and
cheerfulness. Price $1.60 per bottle.—

CLOSING OUT OUR ENTIRE STPCK OF
ARMY AND OTHER
NAVY GOODS
AT SACRIFICE PRICES
u.s.
The hunt for the dog Tuesday by
City Marshal Will1 Loessin, Deputy
Sheriff Mat Rauch and Lee Smith, was
successful. In fact very much so.
Lee Smith was disturbed about five
o’clock Tuesday morning by the dog
visiting his front yard and strewing
the carcases of several chickens about.
He spotted the animal after daylight
and notified the officers, but engaged
in following up the trail until he got
the dog on the hillj A Mexican loan-
ed Lee a gun—leastwise he called it a
gun—and Lee fired-blinked his eyes,
"and then got down nom the horse and
picked up the pieces—of the gun. The
dog turned a somersault .and. looked
bewildered. After putting the blun-
derbuss together a secopd shot was
fired and the dog dispached.
How, many dogs, horses or other
animals this dog has bitten, is not
known to the Journal. Several, sup-
posed to have been bitten, have been
killed. The danger is greater than the
most of us beleive, and this calls for
the usual plea to have the street dogs
killed, and a numbed of others that
seem to be half fed. When it is too
late the plea is repeated, but the harm
ia done.
