SHELBY  COUNTY  SOLDIERS
----------
Each to Be Supplied With Pair Socks
Knit by Shelby County Women.
----
          Ten dozen pairs of socks for the Red Cross have been neatly finished and sterilized and are now ready at the home of Mrs. Sam Kennedy on east Washington street.  The women who have been knitting at her home for the past few months completed 184 pairs for Indiana soldiers some time ago.  While they were waiting for more yarn from headquarters so they could go on with that work they decided to spend their time working for the Red Cross and they lost no time in beginning work for that organization with this splendid result.
          Now they intend to begin working to supply every soldier boy from this county with a pair of socks made to measure.  They are desirous of obtaining the names of every boy from Shelby county who is serving his country.
          When the ladies met for their last meeting at Mrs. Kennedy's home there were 75 present some of them being from Morristown and Fairland.  Fifteen pounds of yarn was distributed in 115 skeins.  The enthusiasm is at a white heat just as it has been ever since the women conceived the idea of meeting regularly to knit.  Three hundred four pairs of socks for the soldiers is nothing to what they will accomplish, they say.

ENGINEER  STRUCK  ON  THE  FOREHEAD
------------
ACCIDENT  OCCURRED  WHILE  TRAIN,  EAST  BOUND,
WAS  COMING  TO  THIS  CITY ---- CABOOSE  ALSO  ON  FIRE.
------------
          When one of the east-bound freight trains on the Big Four arrived here last night, from Indianapois, all kinds of trouble was reported which had occurred between Fairland and this city.  Engineer Julius Swifel, of Indianapolis, had occasion to put his head out of the window while the train was bound for this city, and when he did so he was struck on the forehead by something which cut an ugly gash.  When the train arrived here he went to the office of Dr. Samuel Kennedy, who is the company's local physician, and had the wound dressed, six stitches being taken to close it.  Mr. Swifel returned to Indianapolis and another man took the train the remainder of the trip.
         While the train was coming to this city Conductor Burke and a brakeman were busily engaged in extinguishing a fire in the caboose, the redhot stove causing the floor to ignite, and it was burning at a lively rate when discovered.  They used the contents of the fire extinguisher and the water that remained in a jug, and then had to secure an axe and cut around the burning part of the floor before they finally got rid of the fire.

CLEVER  VALENTINE  PARTY.
------------
Mrs. William McConnell Entertained the
Aid Society of the Boggstown Presbyterian Church.
------------
          On last Wednesday afternoon Mrs. William McConnell entertained the Aid Society of the Boggstown Presbyterian church and a few invited frieds[sic] at her home in Sugar Creek township.  It being near Valentine's Day, a valentine program had been prepared.  The members answering roll-call with valentine verses, many of them causing considerable mirth.
          Interesting papers bearing on the subject of the origin and customs of Valentin Day were read by  Mrs. Fred Hack  and  Mrs. J. G. Kennedy.  Mrs. Dr. Boone  read a beautiful and pathetic valentine story which was greatly enjoyed.
          A short social time followed when Mrs. McConnell invited the guests to the dining room, which had been made very beautiful for the occasion, the decorations being in read and white.  The center piece being especially attractive consisted of a very prettily decorated red box from which radiated in all directions red paper hearts attached by baby ribbons to a mysterious something in the box.
          Elegant refreshments suggestive of the day were served in two courses after which each lady was given a skein of yarn and asked to wind into a ball and as she wound to tell the story of a true incident of her life.  Mrs. Lynn Burnside proved the most interesting story teller and received as a reward a very beautiful valentine.
          As Mrs. McConnell will soon leave this community to become a resident of Greenwoood[sic], she will knit the yarn wound into balls by her friends into a shwal as a remembrance of them and of the day.  The guests were then invited to step to the table and draw a heart from the center piece and the "mysterious something" to which they were attached proved to be comic valentines which provoked a great deal of merriment.
          The guests left at a late hour feelingfi[sic] they had been royally entertaned and while all regret that it will be the last meeting of the society with Mrs. McConnell in dear old countyr home, all heartily unite in wishing her much joy and happiness in her new home.

COTERIE
----------
Treated to Pleasant Surprise
Friday Evening.
----------
Prof. D. Coate Lectured Upon Wadsworth,
Giving Sketches of the Life
and Some Interesting Readings.
----------
          The members of the Coterie were treated to a very pleasant surprise Friday evening at the home of  Mrs. T. C. Kennedy  by a committee consisting of Mrs. Kennedy and  Misses Anna Caruthers  and  Elizabeth Young.  The club had previously voted for an extra meeting to give to  Mr. D. O. Coate  time for the third of a series of lectures on the Lake Poets, which he has been giving before the club.  The members were asked to meet promptly at 7:30 o'clock and when they arrived they found with them as guests  Mesdames Pugh,  Levinson  and Seiler  and  Misses Eva Wingate,  Richards  and  Harrison,  Miss Alma Conner,  of Greensburg, and  Miss Jennie Richards,  of Richmond, Ind.  Mr. Coate lectures upon Wadsworth, giving sketches of his life, critisms from various authorities and readings from and discussions upon the following poems:  "The World is too much with us,"  "Composed Upon Westminster Bridge. September 3rd,"  "Imitations of Immoratality,"  "Lines on Tintern Abbey,"  "Lucy Poems,"  "We are Seven,"  "She was a Phantom of Delight,"  "The Primrose of the Rock,"  "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud"  and  "A Poet's Epitaph."  Mr. Coate's literary work is of the highest order and his discussions have been exceedingly interesting and profitable to the club.  At the close of the lecture the president,  Mrs. O. W. Cotton,  presented to Mr. Coate, in behalf of the club, a beautiful copy of Raphael's "Sistine Madonna,"  as a mark of appreciation in which it holds Mr. Coate's work with them.  It has certainly benefited each one and given them power to appreciate in higher degree, the works of one of the best of English poets.  The committee served delicious refreshments in two courses, and presented to each one, as a souvenir, a heart and arrow with beautiful sketches hand-painted in water colors.  All of the members and guests feel most grateful to the committee and Mr. Coate for a most enjoyable evening.  It is no more than just, we think, to say that the water colors were the work of the pupils of ....

          Mrs. J. G. Kennedy  conducted a most delightful Young People's Society Christian Endeavor service at 7:30 p.m. last evening, in the parlors of the First Presbyterian Church.  The topic lesson, "Little Kindnesses," was, in a very pretty manner, elegantly discussed by the good lady, showing where christians make many mistakes, during their journey through life, in not speaking a kind word to those whom they chance to come in contact with, followed by a number of testimonials, bearing upon subject, by different members.  Mrs. Dr. Harry M. Toner  presiced at the instrument, and rendered several delightful numbers.  The attendance [the article continues].
