Mr. William Griggs died this, Mon
day, afternoon.
Easter services were held at all the
churches.
Mrs. P. Scott has gone to Kentucky
to visit her parents, who are both
very feeble.
The school concert, given last Fri
day night was largely attended.
Miss Jx'HHle St. Clair, one of last
years graduates, Is learning to be a
dressmaker. Wo are glad to know
that some of the class Intend to do
something. Two of them taught
school and one is attending school,
four of tho other seven may bo seen
on tho streets at anytime, tho other
three are at home.
St. Anns court elected officers last
week, or I might say elected a ma
tron, as she was tho only officer elect
ed by ballot, others wore elected bv
standing votes and acclamation. As
usual St. Anns has a question. I sup
pose the Grand court must decide.
If the court fails to pay a sick sister
her sick benefits and she dies, has the
court the right to pay the money to
relatives. It is the courts fault that
the money was not paid, the Bister
was a worthy member and she should
have had her dues weekly, and then
there would not have been no need
of the .court fussing and wrangling
over the dead woman's rights. One
sister said we buried her, and that
was enough. She should remember
a few weeks back there was money
paid in her family, without even a
report from the sick committee. The
court has also udopted the certificate
plan, no money is to be paid without
a doctor's certificate. We find that
a sister always gets more money be
cause the doctor writes the certifi
cate from the time he makes his first
visit and perhaps three weeks elapses
before he is called again. One sister
asked the sick committee for three
weeks dues, but the certificate called
for seven weeks, another asked for
two weeks, her certificate called for
four weeks, so you Bee It don't pay to
work spite work.
Mrs. Sallie Rogers' class Is doing
fine. Three Easter hats were com
pleted and worn Sunday. We wish
them success.
We hope the treasurer of St. Ann's
court elected will keep her own books
and then the secretary will have less
to do and then only one person will
be responsible for shortage In money.
Mrs. B. Bryant and Master Rhodney
of Pleasant Hill, Mo., spent Sunday
