ELKS CLUB RECEIVES
NEW BILLIARD TABLE
On instructions from the lodge the
tin» bc^.-e mf-H’tee of the Elks Club
has purchased a new >4 00 billiard
table from the Brunswick Balke Col-
lender company, and it arrived, on
Wednesday. It is being placed in the
club rooms today, and will probably
be ready for trial by tomorrow.
Among the members of the Elks
Lodge there are a number of clever
billiard players, and they have been
anxious to get a real good table, as
the one they are now using has been
used quite a little, and is not quite as
live as the boys would wish.
