Ladies Aid Meeting.
The Ladies Aid Society of the
Methodist Episcopal Church in
Independence met with Mrs. H.
L May on Thursday, Nov. 12th.
Quite a large number of the so
ciety availed themselves of the
opportunity to ride out to the H.
L. May. farm. In fact persons
passing the place looked wonder
ingly at the number of teams and
rigs in the yard, doubtless think
ing that there must be either a
funeral or a wedding, but it was
simply one of the many pleasant
meetings of this wide awake so
ciety. The society was never so
harmonious and active as at the
present time. New members are
constantly uniting. The latest
additions being Mrs. Dr. Hewitt
and Mrs. C. Irvine.
The meeting at Mrs. May's
was especially interesting, in fact
the jolliest crowd of church work
ers that ever met in this "neck of
the woods." At noon work was
laid aside for awhile to attend to
the sumptuous dinner provided.
As the ladies partook of the many
good things with which the table
was loaded; the unanimous ver
dict was "It is good to be here."
A motion was enthusiastically
received. "That we have these
gatherings often."
After dinner the business ses
sion was called. After an appeal
was presented by the Pastor
from a needy church in Nevada,
the ladies voted to send some of
their work to assist this needy
church.
The Society expects to hold its
annual Chrysanthemum fair on
November, 28th.
We Are Going to Stay.
For the benefit of those who
are still of the opinion that we
may not stay in Monmouth, we
want you to come to this office
and lift some of the mach;nery
that we have put in. There are
a number of pieces here that can
not be carried oil in ones vest
pocket. Further there has not
been a month since we came here
that we' have not added to our
plant Before we started the
Herald we had a much better
plant than has been in Monmouth
for many years a"d since that
time we have more than doubled
the size and value. During
the past week we have added
$G3 to our type and printing ma
terial and $30 to our stock. We
have had a large job business
tttely and are in position to turn
out as good work for less money
than any printing office in this
county. We meet all our bills
promptly and are laying away
a little money. We are going to
stay in Monmouth. It's good
enough for us it's good enough
for anybody.
Horiemen Attention.
We are prepared o print horse
cards for less money than you
can get the same quality of work
done anywhere in the state. We
print cards 14x21 for less than
others print 12x18 and we print
on (rood quality brislol board and
not on cheap poster paper. If
you want a cut made from photo
of your horse we will have it
done for less than you can get
the work done. Get cur prices.
Tartnyaon'a Humility.
Tlio poet Tennyion wu gifted
with the grace of humility. Ilia let
ters disclose hit dissatisfaction with
himself end hit achievements, lie
1 pitched hi ideal high, and he
I i -I I.. .l L.
auew, whig mure tirHrir, uru no
failed to grasp what he bad reached
after. An anecdote contributed by
the Duke of Argyll and quoted by
Miss Cary in her volume, "Tenny
ion," exhibit the poet' humility.
"The first word I heard him ut
ter' says the duke, "remain indeli
bly impressed upon my memory. On
being introduced to him at an even
ing party in the house of Lord John
Russell I said, perhaps with some
emotion:
" 'I am so glad to know youl'
"Not in the tone or voice of a
mere conventional reply, but in the
accents of sincere humility, he an
swered: '"You won't find much in me,
after all.'"
