MISSIONARY SOCIETY ENTER-
TAINED.
Friday afternoon of last week
was the regular time for the so-
cial meeting of the Missionary
Society of the M. E. Church, and
the committee, Mesdames J* A.
Carter, W. R. Tully, Dumont,
Harris and Burks, royally enter-
tained their guests. The parlor
and reception rooms of Mrs- Car-
ter’s home were' decorated with
pictures to represent the guests,
and on the dining table were
found pictures taken long ago of
the officers of the society, the pas-
tor and stewards of the church.
This indeed proved a guessing
contest; how were we to know
Rev. Lee standing beside a dear
motherly looking lady, when he
was dressed in a tight fitting jacket
and trousers' a little below his
knees, or Dr. Brown a fat cross-
looking fellow who was made to
keep quiet for a second in order
that in after years his mother
would have something to prove
how pretty he was as a two-year-
old. Mr. Carter has changed
very much since he left Arkansas
and Mr. C. H. Beever was a good
looking Kansas youth and we do
not wonder Mrs. Beever waited un-
til she went to Kansas before tak-
ing the fatal step. Messrs- Ernest
and Collin DeVilbiss and E. A.
Lilly were too well known in their
younger years to be much of a
guess, but when it come to Mr.
Wesley Harris, he was entirely
beyond recognition, only a few
being able to tell who the ruddy-
cheeked boy in the tin daguero-
type was. Now I do not know
whether I should remark on the
ladies or not for we could recog-
nize them almost at a glance; any
way the mothers did not seem to
think enough of us to have our
likeness made when we were
babies. I must say that Mrs. Lee
was easily recognized by the like-
ness her youngest daughter bears
to her. Mrs.Cowley and Mrs.Nix-
on were not much of a problem,
but the society as a whole think
they look much better now. Mrs.
E. A. Lilly looked quite coquet-
tish in a group of girls, while
Mrs. G. C. Lilly looks so demure
and with the air “I am having
my picture took,” one scarcely
recognizes the sweet faced lady of
the present. Mrs. H. L. Brooks
claims it was the photographers
fault Mesdames Carter and Tully
show up well in their earlier pic-
tures and while they show that
some time has passed, the mirror
still says pleasant things to them
Mrs. George Curtis as a tot of
four or five years was very bonny,
with, short curls showing Mrs.
DeVilbiss was proud of her
daughter. Mrs. Wesley Harris
in a group with two of her broth-
ers, showed up well, and from ap-
pearance, she liked bangs. Mrs.
M. F. Lowe in her picture of
twenty-five years ago proves to us
she might easily have been a belle
of Tilden- The Press Supt. was
there, “but present company al-
ways excepted.”
Deliciously cool refreshments
were served with cake.
The invited guests were Mrs.
Hester Tully and Mrs. George S-
Hess, Mrs. S. G. Turner and
Mrs. George Beever*

MOTHER’S CLUB MEETING.
A most enthusiastic meeting of
the Mother’s Club took place at
the primary school the 28th of
March. After the business was
disposed of an interesting talk
was given by Mrs. Davis on the
W. C. T. U. It was decided * that
this society should furnish the
program for the meeting of the
Mother’s Club at its next meeting
the 25th of April.
The members present were de-
lightfully entertained by a number
of Pearsall’s very promising child
ren by their recitations, which
were well rendered.

After the meeting an old fash-
ioned candy pull was given the
children of the primary grades,
and of course all of them enjoyed
it to the utmost.
Much credit is due Miss Stall-
ing for the work she put in mak-
ing the candy which never once
showed sign of sugaring.
The next meeting will be opened
to the public and visitors will be
welcomed.
GOOD ADVICE TO WOODMEM
Herman L. Ekern, Coramisso-
ner of insurance of Wisconsin,
says, in speaking of the change in
rates made by the Modern Wood-
men: Even as a matter of dollars
and cents- members of re-rating
socities should continue their in-
surance, because their rates will
be as low as any that can be offer-
ed in this state for the same kind
of insurance by any permanent
society, and because any member
Only changing from one society to
another pays something more in
the first cost of getting into the
society or securing other insur-
ance Members who think of
dropping their insurance will do
well to take enough time to study
the questions before doing any-
thing which may bring regret to
both themselves and their families.
WILL PEARSALL COMPETE?
No town could ask for a better
advertisement than for the word to
go out over the nation that it is
the cleanest town in its state.
Holland’s Magazine of Dallas,
Texas, now offers us the oppor-
tunity and will pay us for clean-
ing up. That enterprising jour-
nal, which circulates throughout
the Southwestern states and has a
large news stand circulation over
the nation, has launched a Clean-
est Town in Texas Contest. The
magazine will give $1000 as fol-
lows: To the cleanest town of
4000 and under 10,000 inhabitants,
$500; to the cleanest town of 2000
and under 4000 inhabitants, $300;
and to the cleanest town of 1000
and under 2000 inhabitants, $200.
All applications for entry should
reach the publishers by June 10,
1912. Inspections of towns will
be made from August 15 and will
continue until all towns have been
visited. No warning of the in-
specting party’s visit will be given.
A QUESTION TO FATHERS AND
MOTHERS.
What is your son or daughter
going to do when school closes?
You* will admit they have no
time to lose, no time to spend in
idleness- Had you thought of
what a great advantage it would
be to them to olace them in a
school 'where they could receive a
practical training to be used in
everyday life, and where they
could^be surrounded by hundreds
of ^bright, energetic grown young
men and women, young men and
women who are working earnestly
and faithfully, in order that they
may qualify themselves in the
shortest possible time to go out
and succeed in the business world?
We have now over 600 enrolled
in daily attendance. New students
are enrolling daily; others are
graduating daily and are being
placed in good poritions thru our
Employment Department.
A thorough course of Book-
keeping Training, Shorthand and
Tpyewriting or Telegraphy in
our institution is one of the best
estates you can give your child;
it is a practical knowledge for
which the business world pays
cash.
If you havent cash to pay for
course in full, write for our credit
plan, which enables you to pay
out of salary earned after course
is completed. Write for our large
illustrated catalog containing in-
dorsements from hundreds of for-
mer students and their employers.

Dodson’s Liver-Tone Persuades It to
Work Naturally and Safely No
Restriction of Habits or Diets.
If you have a sick horse, you
cannot make him work by beating
him, and if you try it you are
liable to ruin him forever. It’s
the same way with your liver.
When it becomes torpid and slug-
gish, you can take calomel and
whip it into action, but the calo-
mel will leave your body weaker
and sicker than ever- Calomel is
a very powerful chemical made
from murcery.
A perfect substitute for calomel
that has all of its medical proper-
ties with none of its dangerous
and uncertain follow-ups, is Dod-
son’s Liver-Tone.
Mercer drug store sells Dodson’s
Liver-Tone with the guarantee
that if you don’t find it a perfect
substitute for calomel, this store
will give you your money back.
