Big Class to Be Taken in Mt. Ayr M. W. A.

A class of 25 new candidates for initiation in the Modern Woodmen of America order will be taken in at Mt. Ayr next Thursday evening. The Wheatfield team will assist in the floor work. While neighboring camps of M. W« A., are prospering, the Rensselaer Camp is dead; killed completely by the action of a number of its members early last winter in leasing and turning its lodge room over to another order, as The Democrat said it would. There has not been more than two or three meetings with a quorum since that time and the membership is steadily decreasing, without a solitary new addition in the past year. The prosstitution of this splendid order here to selfish interests is greatly to be regretted. Dr. Hemphill Again Back in His Office.
