One of the very ilest dances yet
piven by the Eleven O clocktlub was
thtu of last Monday night. Barring
three coupler the club was out in

special vim into the music and the
t-lub members seenwJ to be in partic
ularly good trim for tripping the
tight fantastic.

bors who played Five Hundred until
near the midnight hour. Creamed
oysters and coffee and cake were the
refreshments. the guests were
Messrs. and Mesdames Stuart Saun
ders, Albert Kinney and C. B. Wolf.
Saturday evening the Elks held an
open session at the close of their reg
ular lodge meeting to which the la
dies were invited. A splendid pro
gram was rendered and an hour giv
en over to dancing. The. program
was opened with a piano solo by Mrs.
C. L. Cunningham, played in her
usual good spirited style and enthus
iastically encored. The Elks Quartet
gave three splendid numbers which
fact alone speaks well for the success
of the urogram. Prof. MucMnrrav
sang a beautiful solo, well accom
panied by Mrs. Parson. Prof. Vining
ttas called upon to tell of the experi
ences of two 944 Elks in New York
last winter when he undertook to
show them the city and found them
equal to any situation. He gave his
guests the titles of Mr. R. L. B. and
Mr." B. B., making it a matter of lit
tle difficulty to supply the remainder
of their names. Miss Beatrice Miller
gave a very enjoyable reading and
Miss Natalie Swigart a piano solo
which were both well received. Mr.
and Mrs. L. A. Pedersen furnished
music for the dancing. There were
about 175 people present, most of
whom stayed for the dancing. The
quecition is, if there are so many
dancing people among the Elks, why
they don't turn out for the regular
dances. There were easily twice as
many people on the floor as general
ly attend the regular dances.
Mr. and Mrs. T. (t. Simpson passed
he nineteenth milestone on their
matrimonial voyage last Friday. The,
event was commemorated by an im
promptu gathering of several neigh-
Ileception to Retiring Pastor.
The lecture room of the Presby
terian church was thronged last night
at an informal social reunion gotten
up as a farewell to Rev. H. T. Chis
holm and wife on the eve of their
departure from Ashland. In the way
of church affiliations the gathering
knew no bounds. Presbyterians fra
ternized with Baptists, while Episco
palians elbowed not only with Free
Methodists but also with the real
genuine Methodist Episcopal follow
ing. Even a number of Christians
were present. All of this speaks well
for the spirit of fellowship and good
will which exists among Ashland
churches, a circumstance which was
dwelt upon by Mr. Chisholm in ref
erence to cordial relations that have
existed during his pastorate .among
the different denominations repre-

sented by the Ministerial Union, ,The
pastor is one of the most tolerant
and liberal of men and to this pro
gressive spirit is due the universal
esteem in which he is held by people
in general without' regard to creed.
The city clergy were invited in a
body: and among their number Rev.
Messrs. Douglass, Childs and Doran
made brief remarks not only merely
apropos, as the saying is, but also
fervent and felicitous fervent as ex
pressing regret at the pastoral rela
tion about to be severed in this com
munity, and felicitous in extending
to Mr. Chisholm the best of wishes
and utmost measure of success in his
new field of labor. To all of which
kind ' sentiment the retiring pastor
replied in fitting terms. He further
more gave a brief epitome of the
work accomplished by the Ashland
church during the past two years,
highly complimenting the laity for
the energy and zeal which had
brought about so many fruitful re
sults, religiously, financially and so
cially. In behalf of the laity Mr. H.
G. Gilmore made a few appropriate
remarks in his usually happy vein.
By way of diversion during the so
cial hour there were vocal and in
strumental selections, the kind of
fices of the Elks' Club in this respect
being freely extended in response to
several encores.
""To relieve a. tense situation," as
one brother termed it, a little non
sense was Introduced by way of va
riety. A bevy of young ladies, rang
ing in years from the cradle roll
epoch to the indeterminate period,
joined in a farewell song, one stanza
of which and the refrain were about
as follows:
We are sorry you're going to leave
us
Leave us for California;
But we're glad to pass our blessings
on
On to fair Alhambra!
Boo-hoo! The Chisholms are going
away '
Down to old dusty California to stay,
Away from the pines of the moun
tains to cheer
Away from the call of the bear and
the deer.
The "calof the bear and the deer"
is supposed to reflect upon Mr. Chis
holm's prowess as a mighty Nimrod
in these parts. The refrain to this
farewell effort was rendered by the
"sob squad" with full tearful effects.
Light refreshments" were served by
the women's auxiliaries connected
with the church organization, and
an ideal social gathering dispersed
with the benediction, preceded by
singing "God be With You Till We
Meet Again."
Mr. and Mrs. Chisholm ' plan to
leave Ashland early next week for
southern California, where Mr. Chis
holm has received a call to become
the pastor of the First Presbyterian
church of Alhambra, a city which is
a suburb of Los Angeles.

Sacred Conceit.
The praise service at the Presby
terian church last Sunday evening
drew the usual overflow congrega
tion. Both the auditorium and the
main Sunday school room were filled,
while many sat on the steps and the
stone walls outside. The building of
another wing to the church is the
only solution for such services, as
well as for other work which cannot
be carried on without greater facili
ties. The program consisted of selec
tions by a male quartet, a ladies'
quartet, solos and chorus. The violin
obligatos were played by Mr. Peder
sen in a faultless manner. Professor
McMurray's rendition of "O Salu
taris" in Latin was one of the best
numbers ever given at these sacred
concerts. The organ work by Mrs.
Parsons was perfect and added much
to the devotional spirit of all the music.

The Trust Still After Us
It has been a fixed policy of the grocery trust to attempt to get
wholesalers to not sell us supplies because we will not go into a
combination with them to hold up prices. This they have just at
tempted to do with thfi Klamath Exchange, wholesalers of flour, feed
and grain. And the Klamath Exchange now refuses to sell us their
line except at retail prices.
But We Are Here to Stay to the Finish
We propo e to pay retail prices until we find some place where
we can get a square deal, and will go right on selling to our custom
ers at the same old prices, although we do not make a cent on the
deal, i ' .
