representative 'women of the citv,
camc-.tb the ': assistance of the old
Commercial Club early in 11118. The
fiindsi of the ortrunizution were in
adequate to. justify its ninintenanoe
and the ..'directors decided to close
the doors of its oflice uerinniientlr
about February 1.
, The Greater Mcdford club interest
ed jtself in the- premises and agreed
with Ule directors to rejuvenate the
Comraer'eial Club. Thev agreed to

out. Vfay for her services. At that
time there were only 29 members who
Wcre-'jSiiyihir 'their .'dues. Dunne the

Hecorid,:wcck tho struggling organiza

, A meeting of the. Greater Mcdford
ClubV. committee and the Commer
cial club's directors was held and
tho. organization wus turned back to
the regular directors with Mrs. Satch

tho' holder of a niortgago on the
property 'ordered the sheriff to foro.
oloaeTho Jattcr did so and the club
for two davs was closed. liusincss

on a;. note thev signed, paid off the
first. mortgage on the property, and
tho eUib was reopened ami resumed
operations. '
During tho year the club paid of
nh 'indebtedness of $((I0, painted its

y CENTRAL POINT
J-'VBftvrUelkniip. former Central Point
resident, 'and for several years pas
tor, of the. . Methodist and Union
churches here; now of Yainax, Ore
cbn; at which place he still continues
his co6d work, was a welcome visitor
here during the past week.
'" The many friends of Miss Mollic
Thornbriic. populur young business
and school girl of Central J'oint, who
have been greatly concerned over the
recent serious illness of the young
Uldy.' will be glad to know that .she.
i convalescing now ami will soon he
among them again. Miss Thornbrue
for some time past has been the ef
ficient and ' well liked clerk in the
liexall store here and she has been
greatly missed there, and also in the
school, where she is one of the most
unmiisin? members of this year's
senior class.
Ralph Arnold arrived here recent
ly from Iowa, in which state he has
been lookine after business interests
for the pust several months, and now
expects to remain permanently a
resident of the Rogue Uivcr Valley.
Dr. Kdwurd Ulair of Gold Heach.
Oregon, representative of Albany Col
lege, was one of the visiting pastors
of note in attendance at the meet
ings at the Union church here Wed
nesday of last week.
The entire Central Point high
school faculty was in attendance at
the school master's meeting held in
Jacksonville. Saturday. March 13.
One of the most recent marriages
which have occurred in Central Point
is that of Mr. Jim Cummings and
Miss Waiva Cash, which took place
the latter part of the week. Mr. and
Mrs. Cummings will make Central
Point their home' and arc now "at
home'' to their friends.
A tiro of voung boys, sonic fourtcn
or fifteen years old, have been rank
inn it a practice lately of shooting all
the birds in the neighborhood, thev
are unite skilled in the art of "sling
shot" shooting and hardly ever tail
to miss their target, some harmless.
i heerv bird, often times a song bird
Private places have even been enter
ed and birds killed there. Many people
like the twittering n'nd songs of the
birds and love to have them about.
It is cruel and inhuman to destroy
them and if the people in whose yard
the little creatures find a home do
not object to their living there, why
should anv one else object ? It is a
practice that should not be indulged
in. and one that should bo dis
couraged.
Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Xorcross have
returned to their home here alter a
several month's sojourn in California
The series of meetings being con
doled here by the Reverends Kdgnr
and Koehlcr in the Union church hnv
been greatly enjoyed bv all who have
been in attendance. Some very good
sermons have been preached bv Rev
Koehlcr. one of especial interest
being the one on the "Dance" that
mucli-attneked and talked of amuse
ment. Some startling truths were set
forth and the house should have bee
jammed so that everyone could have
heard this powcrtul, convincing ser
moil. A regrettable fact concerning
these meetings is that so few people
attend. The house should have .been
full each evening instilid ot only
about half full. Kvcrv one is given
an urgent invitation to attend. The
meetings last but a little while longer.
Some -very good topics arc to be
talked upon during the remaining
evenings nnd it is well worth ones
time to attend ami hear. Those who
coma, once, always :coino again, so
come tho one time for a start and
keep it up.'' Special music also is n
pleasing feature of each evenm:
service. ...
