The large audience was seated In the
center of the hall, with tho banquet
tables on either side, exquisitely ar
ranged in twos and Inden with delica
cies which had an Inviting appearance.
When the chairman, W. C. Cowles,
called the meeting to order, tho seating
capacity was taxed and many were
compelled to stand. After n brief
speech, in which he outlined tho pro
gramme for the evening's enjoyment,
Sir. Cowles Introduced tho principal
speaker of the evening, Attorney (!eo.
I). Taylor, who delivered an eloquent
and thoughtful address. Mr. Taylor's
remarks were greeted with tumultous
npplnuse. The chairman then called
upon the talented elocutionist, Miss
Cora Grlflln, who completely captivated
her audience by her cleverness. To an
encore she responded with a timely
recitation.
Thomas Mlddleton then favored the
nudlcnce with a song which was appre
ciated, and this was followed by a mer
itorious recitation by G. K. Reynolds.
Bel. Itowley and his daughter, Mrs.
Walter Evans, favorites with North

number of toasts, which were most
happily responded to. County Super
intendent J. C. Taylor responded to
the toast "Our Lodge," and dealt brief
ly with the history of the organiza
tion. "Our Grand Lodge" was allotted
to Grand Master W. Gaylord Thomas.
O. P. Miller took "Our Fast Grands"
as his theme and proved very Inter
esting. "Widows and Orphans" was
responded to by William Morgan and
he produced from the subject much
food for conjecture among the frater
nal order.
W. J. Appleman was selected to
speak on "Our Invited Guests," nnd he

Our
Underwear Stock
Was not light when we bought these goods. To tell the truth, we
did not need them, and don't need them todav, our regular stock
being fully up to our utmost requirements. That being the case
you can depend on it that there was a very special reason for our
making an extra or special purchase. There was, and the reason
lav in the extraordinary values offered, and so we were led into
buying.
500 Dozen
Ladies' Night Gowns
How or why they came to us at the great reductions from regular
prices does not directly concern you, but we may say that the
goods are identical with those usually sold by us. They are the
same in make, quality and finish, and as they arc at least -jo per
cent under regular values, the opportunity is such that it should not
be slighted by ladies who believe in the tiue economy which
means an actual cash saving with a sacrifice in quality or style.

monthH of hlf llfo testify to Ills unfaltor
Inu; courage and unabated cheerfulness;
and Ills letters to Ins friends breathed no
word of complaint and nave no limit of
tlio suffering and discouragement which
were his dally portion. This heroic spirit
was not the exhibition ot a cynical stoic
Ism, but was tin fruit of a Christian trust
which grew stronger and brighter In pri

of the soldier who fates mortal danger
