Truxton is still more beautiful. Its beauty grows with the years. The beautiful lawns, luxuriant shrubbery, and rose clad porches give Truxton the touch of some Fairyland, a wonderland for some Alice. Truxton has no equal now; then what may we expect when she begins building new homes? Just now plans are being drawn for a hospital and two new church structures. Several beautiful dwellings are also being considered as a part of the building program.

The writer has an occasion to visit the Mother's club last Tuesday night and was very much impressed with the spirit and work of that organization. The mothers seemed possessed with spirit of service to the community. Besides providing numerous social functions for community, they have provided it with a number of pieces of play ground apparatus, and are now operating the public library which contains more than five hundred volumes. The proceeds of the evening were over ten dollars. We expect great things of the mothers and they deserve every encouragement.
