The Christian Sunday School elect- ed the following officers last Sunday: Superintendent, Mr. Darr; assistant, Mr. Whister; secretary, Miss Bonnie Wolfe; assistant, Miss Myrtle Mc- Cann;librarians, Lawrence Darr and Ellas Hoagland; organist, Miss Thula Darr; assistant, Mra. Ison. Teachers: Class No. 1, Myrtle McCann; No. 2, Grace Dari; No. 8, Mise Cuzick; No. 5, Mra. Giloert; No, 6, Mre, McFad- den R. F. Harper’s brother, G. H. Har- per, is visiting him, He ts from Athens, Ohio, where R. F. Haperand Charley Wolfe were raised. Mr. Hur- per says this is his first visit to Mis- sourt, Dr. Mitchell came from Kansas City Wednesday to spend the 4%h and look after his hogs that he fs having fed on his farm. T. McGuire and wile attended the Fourth at Virginia. Mr. McGutre sald he wanted to see how Virginia looked now. He lived near here number of years ago. He says there has been quite a change since then and now. Allie Yeomans and family, of But- ler, spent the Fourth in Virginia, and stayed all night with his cousin, Mrs. J.H. Park. He had a phonograph with him, and he furnished Parktown with lots of good music. Dr. Lamb and family, of Hedrick, Towa, and Ernest Judy, wife and two daughters, of Kansas City, came the morning of the 4th to spend the day at their old home. I¢ was 4 sur- prise to the folks, when a carriage stopped at McFadden’s with Dr. Lamb and family in. The doctor is looking well. They lets Monday for theirhome. R. T. Judy went with them to stay a few weeks. About fifteen years ago John Dur- rett sald we would have a Prohibt- tion. About seventy-five met and had a good time and a grand dinner. Most of the people left the commu nity and could not stand Prohibition that was the beginning of the 4th at Virginia. It is true the 4th has had {ts ups and downs at Virginia. The seed sowed then has grown, untilllast 4th one hundred and five dollars passed over the counters. Theagent of the Fourth worked hard to have a good time by agent, we mean the spirit of the people. The 4th for 1907 has gone, a good time with It. Shooting fire crackers by young of the day. Each Sunday School and the band boys got $15.00 in their treasuries. This shows how Hberal the people were on the 4th willing to help the two churches in Sunday School and the band boys. How much better it was for the par- ents to have their children away from the influence of the saloon and gam- bling dens. The 4th passed off quiet- ly with the exception of shooting fire- crackers during speaking, which made {¢ difficult to hear the speakers etall times. Rev. Mayfield was the firstspeaker. He spoke of the princi- pal laid down in the Declaration of Independence of the evils of the day of the things which were destroying the people of the United States. Hon. W. 0. Atkeson followed with an able talk, and {f we understood him right; the principals of the declaration have not all been devel- oped yet that they are struggling hard for the ‘fulfilment of the princi- palofindependence. After thespeak- ing Thomas Heckett got ten boys under echool age for & race. After three trials each boy recelved his sack of candy. The boys were in earnest in their running. They used all their muscles, A: couple of the boys fell at the outcome of their ef- fort, but happened to fall among the little misses. The next eight and ten years old they were in dead earn- est in thelr running. Perhaps some of the boys, filty years from now, will look back to this 4, and the race they ran under the management of Thomas Hocket the 4th of July, 1907. The Virginia band gavesome fine music. The elngers in the com- a Visit, will go back to Ohio and tell America was one of the main features | the people that the 4th of July stop- ped with the people of Missouri. The members of the Christian Charch are making an eff rt to raise money tohire Rev. Sheldon to preach twice a month, fires and third Sun- day ofeach month, then the people will have preaching every Sunday in the month. Surely the people ought to get good vote against the saloon People are very busy with their crops. Some have stacked their wheat; making hay, ploughing corn, cutting oats. Most all the corn ts looking well and growing. Mre. Robbins {s on the sick list. Epworth entertainment fs changed from Saturday night the 13th to Saturday night the 20th.

The boys happened to be in front of binder, when the team started, be- fore they could escape were caughtin machine, they are suffering consider- able, but don’t think the wounds are serious. Mrs. W. M. Campbell fovited the Sunday School Teachers Union to spend Friday afternoon at her pretty suburban home to do honor to the departing president of the union, Mrs. W. B. Cather. Although the weather was inclement, quite a num- ber responded and have since ex- pressed themselves as having an ex- ceptionally good time. After the regular work of the union was con- cluded, the guests were conducted to the dining room and seated at 6 beautifully decorated table. The refreshments consisted of sandwiches, pickles, cake, fruit and lemonade, to all of which the company did ample justice. Speeches were indulged in by Mre. Cather aud several others, and Miss Frances Campbell delighted the guests with several well rendered plano selections. A hearty vote of thanks was tendered the hostess, and many expressions of love and good wishes were showered on the Passaic Saturday and played the|mooity united in singing.
