EiBariance Social. 'I he memliers of
t lie Christian Endeavor held quite an
interesting social at the Christian
church in this city on Thanksgiving
eve. A short but interesting program
was rendered which consisted of reci
tatinns and inline. Each member was
pledged to ear twenty-five cents by
manual lalmr for their contribution,
and the "experiences'' were the comi
cal feature of the entertainment. One
young lady earned her contribution
by sacking potatoes hy lamplight
while her partner, a young geutletnau,
did the digging; another young lady
polished a young gentleman's boota
and earned her contribution; oae lady
sheaied a sheep skin and earued her
mile; and another pared apples at the
cannery and sold a g illou of vinej; ir
to earn her mite; two ether young
ladle polished a young gentleman's
heating stove for their contribution,
but while tloiuK so the stovepijie fell
and broke a lamp chimney, which
cost 1 hem 10 cents to replace, besides
the lloor was covered with sut from

Joy the occasion and a very pleasant
evening was whiled away. The gross
receipts weie fl.i.lid.of which amount

The City Election
The municipal election held In this
city on last Monday was quite a spirit
ed contest, and the result cannot be
claimed as a political victory for either

political fences were knwkcd down

directions. It i- ouly justice to say
that A. S. Lorki , 1 he democratic can
didate for city tl. . surer, did not have
a fair chance in the race. He was
placed in the field as a substitute can
didate, much against his own judg

Cortmlt introduced the subject of
teaching numbers. He thinks that
fracti'Uis and decimal numbers
should be begun in the primary
grades and that decimals and per
centage should be begun as soon
as one hundred is taught, and that
interest should bo a method of
teaching percentage.
Remarks on this subject were
made by Miss Smith. and Prol.
Hayes, who did not arce wholly
with Mr. Cornutt.
Percy Butler then gave a recita
tion which very much interested
the teachers.

ideas on "Literature in Public

wrought ideas. Profs. Long and
and Fulkerson and Miss Clara Hall
were appointed committee on pro
grain and the association adjourned
lor dinner.
At 1 :30 the association sang some
patriotic soncs, and then Miss
Hall read a very interesting paper
on "Language i ork.
A double trio was then sung by
the Monmouth pupils.
M". Long then read a valuable
pa tier on "How to Strengthen the
Memory." There was considerable
warm discussion on the subject,
but all seemed to think that
memory. like a muscle, was
strengthened by constant use
The idea of getting one of the
county papers to act as the olhcial
organ of the county teachers was
discussed and Profs. Long, Hayes
and Hong were appointed a com
mittee to interview the county
papers regarding the matter. Re
lying on the supposition 'that "such
arrangements would be made, Prof.
