0. Elks were held at the Elks home

vocal selections and ritulistic work
by the lodge, after which Exaulted
Ruler Willtam Barrowman intro-
duced Dr. Edwin DeBarr of the
state university, who delivered the
! memorial address—his talk filled
with much good food for thought.
1 encouraging, helpful remarks. Dr.
DeBarr is a much traveled man and
j naturally his words have a distinct
meaning—coming from a man
whose experiences may be related
from practically every quarter of
the globe. The benediction was
pronounced by Rev. J. P. Ward of
the Methodist church,
Eastern Star To Purcell
Friday night will be long remem-
bered by the large number of mem-
very few exceptions were ready to
pay their aacounte, leaving a very
per cent of accounts uncollected and
and they were arranged in a satis-
factory way with both parties.
I want to say that I never lived
among a better class of people than
Lexfngton to pay their just debts,
for which I want to thank them
very kindly. I want te say that
the people have treated me with all
respect and if I have collected an
unjust debt I am ready to adjust
the claim in a satifactory way and
if I have left anything unpaid noti-
fy me at Bellflower, Mo, route one,
and I will settle for same.
It has been talked here that the
sale of my stock to C. T. Stein was
a bogus deal. This charge I deny
I haven't a dollar in them and they
do and have belonged to C. T.
Stein since Febrdary 1915. In
closing, I want to invite any of my
Lexington friends who happen to be
in Missouri at any time to come
and see me. My friends are always
welcome. With best wishes, I am
yours truly—T. B. Peery.

B Y. P. U. Pie Supper
One of the most enjoyable as
Well as profitable events of the sea-
son was the pie supper given Fri-
day night at Kellers Hall by the
members of the Baptist Young
People Union, the object of the
meeting being for the purpose of
raising money with which to defray
the expenses for papering the
church and as a result the neat
sum of $20.00 was netted from the
effors. The pies sold well, the eve-
ning was a lively one and thorough-
ly enjoyed by everyone present. In
a contest to decide the most popu-
lar young lady, Miss Emma Long
was declared winner, while the
prize for the one regarded as the
ugliest young man present went
to Guy Dowdy, which contest shows
upon its face its inconsistency, so
declare all those acquainted with
the young man. Anyway it was
productive of much merriment and
climaxed the evening's fun. The
supper was largely attended and
the Union will now proceed with
the noteworthy improvements on
the interior of the church building.
