dining room where a bountious repast
was awaiting them. After supper
the bride and groom accompanied by

and valuable presents.

SCHOOL NOTES
The nice weather the last week has
brought into evidence the base ball
and basket ball. The boys have moved
their base ball ground onto Mr. Mc
Alister's lot North of the school house.
They have reorganized the athletic club
and elected the following officers;
Robt. Leach Pres., Frank Christenson
Sec, and Alonzo Tyler Tres. The
boys are hoping to get the best results
possible cut of their club and expect
their members to leave tobacco and
whiskey alone. Now if their friends
around town would do the right thing
with the boys, instead of trying to
make their good resolves hard for
them to carry out, they would try and
help them. It is easy enough for the
most of us to make mistakes and
hinder others in trying to do what is
right it is little enough of good that
apy of us do.
The girls are playing basket ball and
are thinking of using the warehouse to
play in. At present the weather is
very favorable for out 'door play.
This week is examination once more
and the end of the fifth month of
school. The enrollment has reached
the largest mark ever recorded in the
school.
