“ Puaud Ma used to huve pie and cake
but now they take it to the lodge and
we don't get any. And they sell all
the butter and eggs to pay their
dues.” Most any little community
pays the grand < flicers $50. some $500:

The regular monthly good citizen­
ship meeting was held at the M. E.
church Sunday evening and as usual,
It was largely attended. These meet­
ings seem productive of considerable
good, from the fact thnt more care is
being observed in the open violation
o f municipal and stvt- law« - a hieher
local standard of moials is being es­
tablished ; evil-doing Is more quickly
discerned and piaceli under the ban
and a better moral atmosphere pre-
vades throughout our progressive
town. It does not require a great
ileal of investigation to reach the fact
that there Is too much of a growing
disposition manifested toward the dis­
obedience of the law and Irreveren t
in our times, and without some vigor­
ous moral restraint this evil will con­
stantly grow. It is not much of
an exaggeration to say also that this
is “ an age of obedient paroma.” “ Tlie
rights of children” are construed to
mean that children ’ re to do just
about as they please, and contempt

laws of morality a n d

the great idea of human progress to
dwell upon the imperfections of man­
kind and expose lawlessness and so­
cial abominations.

work go on.
