The rendition of the program waa, altered somewhat'.- A "vocal solo to have been given by Mrs. J.

The address of Prof. Kitteridge. qf the nor mal school faculty, abounded with im measurable good advice to the student, relating to the benefits of education.

' One of the most entertaining church programs ever rendered in Athena was that given on last Sunday evening at th6 Christian church, the occasion being Children's Day. The trend of the enr tiro program was of course a plea for missions, and each feature was unique. The large class of little folks sang like cherubs; the few recitations were of the best; the 'Rainbow" was brilliant, and the "Plea for Light," a soit of cantata in which appeared representatives of the heathen nations, in' costume, pleading with little white-robed Christian girls for light, was very impressive. The en tertainment concluded with a drill ex ecuted by twelve young ladies, which was one of the most elaborate and intricate- ever witnessed here. ItK wasi given with commendable grace and' ab-; solute accuracy. . This as well a the entire program was under the direction of Mrs. J. D. nawes. ' ' " ' HEMO&IAL OESERVANCE. Grand Army Tout at Cemetery-Progiam at Church. Memorial day was observed with fit ting exercises in Athena. Main street business houses and many homes in the city were appropriately decorated;, At 10 a. tn. the Grand Army veterans and member of the local post fell in line and marched to the cemetery where, with friends, the beautiful tribute to the dead, that of Moral decoration, took place. 1 ; r At 2. p. m. in tbe Christian church a large audience listened to the memorial address by lion. Stephen A. Lowell, of Pendleton- The program included singing of the ' National hymns, paper by Albert Pennick, and a vocal solo by Mum Kulisoo. HalUtonei of Great Sire. Hailstones as large as partridge eggs covered a strip of country a mile wide and three miles long near Diiie, Wash,, Saturday night, to the depth or six inrlic. Sounds of falling hail were heard four miles distant by ranchers. i ' v. - n a y ne p PENDLETON, ' ATHENA, CANTON and DUTCHMAN I '): ". ; a car of Barb and Woven Wire Fencing. our prices before buying '''. f I . : ; - . ..,-'!'.'.':.: ' .

Tuesday night at the Frank Berlin" ranch north of town Dick Bushang ac cidentally shot himself through the left hand with a 38-calibre revolver. Mr. Bushang conceived the idea that bur glars were in the garret, and in at tempting to climb up to investigate, his revolver waa discharged in some man ner unknown The bullet entered the left hand, crushing the bones in a hor rible manner Drs. Sharp and Botkin dressed the wound. It may result in a baddly crippled hand. . Injured at Milton. Henry . Stamper of Weston,, while attempting to board a train at Milton Monday, slipped from the steps and fell between the coach and platform. He did not fall under'1 the car but was dragged along on the ground and one foot wai badly mashed He was taken to his home at Weston. . . ( . . -i Hilton Will Celebrata. Like Athena, Milton people are averse to celebrate in towns that have nothing but. dusty streets for accommodation, and will take advantage of her splendid grove and give a home celebration.
