During the short business session
a letter of resignation was read
from Mrs. Fowler, nee Miss Shei

membership, and while with
many regrets we part with our
former member, 'tis with pleas-
ure we welcome the new one.
The regular program of the
day was carried out. Both the
leeson on "Origin and Growth
of English Literature" led by
Mrs. Hale, and the critical study
on "Bettle of Brunanburh" led
by Mrs. Bauer, were very inter-
esting, especially so as all were
well prepared to answer the
questions. We enjoyed a very
pretty vocal selection by Mrs.
Hayden, after which Mrs, Rus-
sell gave a humorous reading
concerning the experieece of a
bride and groom at a summer re-
sort. By special solicitation of
the olub, Mrs. Ross gave a brief
but graphic outline of her Euro-
pean trip, which she made even
more interesting by many kodak
views of the different places she
had visited.
At the invitation of our hostess
we gladly remained for. a social
session and were served cream
and cake in the mean time.
This was a very delightful
meeting, almost all the members
being present. Mrs. Chas. Ed-
wards was a guest of the club.

Boys Corn Exhibit Held
Last Monday.
The exhioit of the Boys Corn
Club at this place was held Mon-
day in the Hayden building on
the west side of the square.
There were quite a number of
boys who entered the contest
and who were well paid for the
labor which they put in during
the year. The exhibit was not
as large us it was hoped it would
be on account of the dry weather
and many of the boys were dis-
couraged and thought there was
no use for them to enter their
oorn. The oommittee composed
of J. L. Mitchell, Jr., Chairman,
Wm. Ganzer of Denton and F. A.
Wright and A. Zimmerer went
over the exhibit in the morning
and selected the winners. At
3 o'clock in the afternon a large
number 11' the Boys Corn Club
and a number of the ladies of
the town listened to an interest-
ing talk by Mr. Wm. Ganzer of
Denton, after which he announc-
ed the prize winners as follows:

Prof. A. B. Weisner, Chair-
man, J. L. Mitchell, Jr., Wm.
Ganzer.
It will be noticed that in the
display of yellow Dent Corn only
one lot was filtered, some boy
who had corn oj this class losing
a prize because he did not enter
his ten ears.
The exhibit Monday caused a
number of new boys to become
interested in corn growing and
entered their names for next
year. Should there be others
who desire to join the olub for
next year can hand their names
to Prof. Weisner or send direct
to Wm. Ganzer, Denton, Texas.
Those who were members this
year do not have to send their
names in as they are already
members.
The prize winning corn here
will be sent to the Fair thi^ week
to compete in the prizes offered
by the Fair Association.
