OBITUARY
Mrs. Ed Rannells
On last Sabbath morning Mrs. Edgar A. Rannells after an illness of many months duration, was called to her final reward. She came to Las Vegas in company with her husband about a year and a half ago, and immediately united with this church. Though ill health prevented her attendance upon the services of the sanctuary during the greater part of her sojourn among us, she was greatly interested in the church, and counted it a sore trial that she could not attend more frequently. Stricken with disease early in life and feeling that both her plans and those of her husband were interfered with by her affliction, it was hard for her to be patient and submissive. At the last however, she became fully reconciled, and with loving trust submitted to the Father’s will. Accompanied by her husband and a sister, Mrs. Garret of Nebraska the remains were taken to Chanute, Kansas for interment. Bro. Rannells will return to Las Vegas in a few days and resume his position as manages of the Harvey Dairy,–Edgar C. Anderson, Pastor, First Metho Espiscopal Church, Las Vegas, New Mexico.

STAG PARTY
Tuesday evening last, the home of George Chamberlin was the scene of great jollity and pleasure. Having discovered that March 26 was the anniversary of George’s birthday, number of his gentlemen friends planned a surprise. The unsuspecting host was called home from lodge on some pretext and found there awaiting him fifteen of his intimate friends who presented him with a beautiful chair as a token of their esteem. After an enjoyable evening at cards, a very appetizing luncheon was served to which all did ample justice.In spite of the lateness of the hour, the guests still lingered enjoying and participating in the music which followed. Finally warned by the clock of anxious and foreboding looks and words which would no doubt await them at their home, should they tarry longer, the guests finally departed, all extending their best wishes to Mr. Chamberlin for many more such happy birthdays.

Dr. Wells Dewell has been asked by a goodly number of his friends to take the nomination for mayor and yesterday he consented to the use of his name in the citizens caucus called for next Tuesday evening, provided he is the choice of the majority of the representative citizenship of the town. In this connection Dr. Dewell authorizes the Twiner to state that he will stand first, last and all the time for a good clean town, the enforcement of law and order, for progressiveness, and for those civic principles that a school town such as ours has a right to expect in the way of right doing. That he is not to be the candidate of any clique or faction merely but that of the representative people of the town.
