Century Club

The Twentieth Century Club met with the secretary, Mrs. Wm. Ramage last Friday afternoon, for the discussion of "Ghosts," carrying out the following program:

Story of play, with readings from drama, Mrs. A.A. Putman.

Characterization, Mrs. C.H. Sibley.

Compare plot and purpose of ghosts with a "Doll's House," Mrs. Sibley.

Ibsen as an Ethical Teacher, Mrs. Wm. Ramage.

CAPT. S.S. SMITH
Is the New Commander of Company F, Second Regiment, M.N.G.
Election Held Tuesday Evening. C.B. Ward is First Lieutenant

At the close of the regular drill of Company F on Tuesday evening occurred the election of a captain to succeed Capt. A. Schaefer, who has been appointed on field staff with the rank of major. First Lieut. S.S. Smith was chosen unanimously to fill the vacancy, and second Lieut. C.B. Ward was advanced to first lieutenant, and First Sargent O.F. Blood was elected second lieutenant.  This causes a vacancy in the ranks of the non-commissioned officers, which will be filled by appointment, and will probably cause an advancement all along the line.

Maj. W.T. Mollison, of Faribault , was present at the drill and made an unofficial inspection of the company and found the organization in such excellent condition that he stated he would recommend that his report be accepted as the official inspection which was scheduled for some time later.

After the election at the armory the company repaired to the Western house, where a banquet was held, which proved a very enjoyable affair. About fifty covers were laid. Maj. B.F. Thurber of this city and Maj. W.T. Mollison, of Faribault , were guests of honor. Speeches were made by several of those present. Major Mollison complimented the company very highly on high standard of efficiency attained, and spoke an encouraging word for the future.

Company F is a little more than two years old, and during its short career has made a record that has been the envy of many an older organization. the credit for brining it to its present high standard belongs mainly to Capt. Smith, who as first lieutenant has practically had full charge of the company since its organization, and his elevation to the captaincy is a fitting recognition of faithful and efficient service. First Lieut. Ward and Second Lieut. Blood are both veterans of the Spanish war, and have both done good service in the company. Company F is an organization in which every one in Worthington takes pride, and we hope it will have a long and honorable career.
