SOCIAL, About Three Hundred Persons Present to Enjoy the Occasion. The ice cream social given by Protection Lodge No. 172, A. 0. U.

W. was held last Monday evening on Brother Dan French's lawn. The Degree of Honor, having accepted the invitation, were present and added 80 much to the enjoyment of the occasion that you can't find a member of the A. O. U.

W. Lodge who would now advocate going out in the woods to enjoy a smoker. It is said by those who have been residents for many years that this social was the grandest affair of the kind ever held in Dodge City. The program was certainly a good one and was carried out with all the promptness that could be desired. Master Workman F.

J. Oyler in a brief speech introduced Brother E. H. Madison who delivered the address of welcome. Mr.

Madison has the happy faculty of knowing precisely what to say upon such an occasion that would be to the point and please his hearers, and he said it. Miss Grace Hale responded on the part of the Degree of Honor in a brief speech which was extraordinarily well worded, timely, appropriate, and with a feeling that permeated the throng and more firmly fastened the ties which bind the two Orders together in a common brother and sisterhood. It was clearly noticeable by all, and expressed, that Miss Hale possesses qualifications as a speaker which are considerably above the average. Beeson's Orchestra rendered many choice selections of music, but everybody in western Kansas knows this Orchestra can't be beaten when it comes to real, soul-stirring, up-todate music. so there is no use for us to further comment upon it.

F. Milton and Miss Kate Kinkead added much to the enjoyment of the evening. The duet by Mrs. Swinehart and Miss Kate Kinkead was an enjoyable and entertaining feature. Ice cream, cake, lemonade, watermelons and cigars supplied the refreshments.

It would take writer with far greater descriptive powere than we possess to give this entertainment the notice that it so richly deserves, 80 we content ourself with briefly outlining the enjoyments and leave it to the reader's imagination to realize the occasion as it actually 00- curred. The next social, and the last for this season, will be held on Monday evening, September 3rd. on Master Workman F. J. Oyler's lawn by his kind ininvitation, the Degree of honor having been invited to join in the ceremonies upon this occasion.

A vote of thanks was tendered by those who attended the A. O. U. W. social to Mr.

and Mrs. T.E. French for their generous hospitality in permitting the crowd to assemble and enjoy themselves on their lawn. Subscribe for the DODGE CITY REPORTer. Good job work done at the DODGE CiTy REPORTER office.

He was seen to very hurriedly enter a big cornfield south of town one day this week. Oh, the villain! He'll probably be very sorry and suffer tor it, for a mob of infuriated corn raisers have surrounded the field armed with war clubs in the shape of ears of corn as long as your body ready and enger to pound the vitality out of his miserable frame A8 soon as old Sol sufficiently dries the blades that the light may be let green in and they can see to go in search of him. The only way we can 800 for his escape is for him to remove an ear of corn from the busk and crawl into the husk, there to remain until the excitement in the vicinity simmers down and the mob of coru raisers retire to their homes.
