not received as many responses
to his registration blanks which
he had sent out to the people of
this county asking them to at
tend the short course here in
February as he had expected.

rangements more definitely. He
wants the great religious Bent to

good hearted old man who tried
to treat everyone right and had
many friends.

The theremometer has regist
ered below zero three times since
our last issue, being the coldest
weather yet for the winter. This
is not considered cold as it does !
not effect man or beast as it does
in lower altitude more humid.
Last Saturday night was most j
disagreeable as a high wind made
it more pronounced and cutting. '
Although Sunday night regist
ered colder it was not noticed M
much as the night before.
People of this section were
quick to take advantage of the
parcel post and the other even
ing the writer witnessed a rath
er unusual sight at the post office
when he saw a man take out al
most enough stuff to start a hard
ware store. It was extras for
automobiles that have heretofore
had to be brought in by express
and cost in some instances about
Ave times as much as by parcel
post. The mail contractor these
days must reckon with this now
departure from the old time bus
iness and our "Uncle Sam" will
find he has to pay more for the
transportation of the mail. How
ever, the parcel post is here to
stay and is going to become more
popular. This same source of
transportation must be taken in
to consideration by the merchant
and as soon as its provisions
have become more familar to the
people the local merchant is go
ing to profit by it as he has
quite an advantage over the big
department stores that have
heretofore cut in on the local
man quite materially.

Tonawama Pictures Tonight
A delayed shipment of lilms
has been received by Tonawama
and tonight will witness one of
the best programs yet given by
the house. "Colleen Bawn" a
three reel special, is the articu-
lar feature tonight with "The
Katzenjammer Kids" thrown in
for good measure. The latter is
the lirst of a series of these com
ics that appear from time to time
at Tonawama. The management
is perfecting plans to make each
Saturday night a "feature night"
with some of the best films ob
tainable. The charge tonight
will be 25 and 15 cents, as these
features cost considerable more
than the ordinary priced films.
On tomorrow night the usual
Sunday night program this
time four reels, owing to the
holdup in mails, causing the non
arrival of the right order. The
pictures tomorrow night arc of a
high order and particularly popu
lar, as some of the well known
performers are featured. The
two entitled "Hronco Hilly and
the Handits," and "The Cowboy
Girls," are both line and full of
life, the latter a good comedy.
Two other fine lilms will also be
seen.
Tonawama management is ar
ranging to put on an additional
night of pictures each week.
Beginning with Wednesday, Jan.
22nd, there will be pictures each
week on that night with the us
ual mid-week admission of 10
and 15 cents. These will be
good pictures, all passed by the
board of censorship, making the
show moral and refined.
Drewsey has a Fire.
Telephone advice from Drew
sey announces that there was a
fire at that place Thursday morn
ing which completilv destroyed
the Drewsey News printing plant
and also a racket store that had
recently been started there. We
understand both are a total loss.
The paper had been running
Bince last May and belonged to
Geo. Baker, a former high school
boy. The store had just been
established but we do not know
how large a stock of goods was
carried.
The Times-Herald has just
learned from a stage driver that
the tire started in the printing
office, It seems a cuspidor tilled
with sawdust was found on fire
the evening before but it was
thought to have been put out.
The fire started early in the
morning and is thought to have
caught from this source. The
loss is estimated to have been
$7000.

County Court
County Court adjoured Wed
nesday. There was considera
ble to attend to at this term and
a delay in getting word from the
state officials at Salem respect
ing the tax levy held the court
longer.
Commissioner elect Bain took
his office Monday and Treasurer
Miller also assumed his duties
ftnd has moved the safe and books
j t0 the court nouge where he wi
hve his office. Clerk Waters
qualified for another term, hav-
nK &" re-elected, but immedi-
ately resigned and R. T. Hughet
was appointed to nil his place.
Mr. Hughet is a competent man
with experience and his appoint
ment meets with general approv
al. The deputies remain the
same, Walter Struck and J. L
Caldwell.
The matter of refunding taxes
as provided in the recent vote
that had been collected in the
building fund of last yesr was
taken under advisement as there
seems to be some question as to
the legality and manner, there
fore nothing was done the matter
going over to the March term.
Some have put in claims while
other large tax payers have sig
nified their willingness to let the
amount remain in the fund as it
will be needed in future.
W. E. Huston was employed

Road masters for the coming
year were appointed as follews:
Geo. DunBmore, Dist No. 1;
Grant Kesterson, No. 2; Charles
Wilson. No. 3; Emory Hill, No. 4;
and Roland Harkins, No. 5.
The tax levy totals 124 mills,
within half mill of the total of
last year which included 3 mills
special for building. The tax is
distributed as follews: State,
.0812; scoool, .002; high school.
.001; general, .0025; county. .0057
This is rather a stiff tax as com
pared to former years but there
has been a heavy drain on the
treasury in recent years and the
indebtedness was greater than
many suppose.
The court also made special
levy in school districts that had
failed to do so to bring the total
up to requirements of the state
law.
