There are not many in sight this
week.
The weather ha* moderated, and a
fail of snow made sleighing pretty
good in the valley’this week.
Mrs. Tom Patterson of Swan Lake
Valley has been appointed po3tmi»-
tress of a n«-w postoffice about to be
established there.
After preaching here last Sabbath
morning. Rev. Nortridge hitched up
his teaiu and drove down to Olen*
and preached there In the evening.
S. D. Tooker has been hauling his
winter's wood in from the timber on
a pair of bobs—a whole tree at a
time—thus saving much work in the
timber.
A young man named McIntyre has
lately been visiting the farmers of the
valley securing statistics relating to
crop production during the pa3t year,
for use ot the Chamber of Commerce
of the Falls.
A surprise was given last Friday
evening at the residence of G. C. An
derson to Miss Kittle Wells by many
of her friends In the vicinity. Social
games predominated and all went
home bappy.
Prof. B. M. Hall say* too much
honor was paid him in crediting him
with the management of the Christ
mas program in last week’s letter.
The entire credit should be given to
the teacher. Miss Wells, who did all
the training and perfecting the pro
gram.
Robert Laughlin, the eccentric gen
ius who cut off a hand a year or so
ago while in an insane condition,
died very suddenly .Monday morning
last at the residence of Jacob Rueck,
supposedly from heart failure, and
was buried Tuesday at Bonanza. A
large number of his old neighbors
anti friends attended. Bob Laughlin,
as he was familiarly call«?d, had lived
in this valley most of the time for
the past ten years and was admired
for his wit and uniform good humor.
He took up a homestead and made
some improvements on it.* Being a
bachelor, he lived alone in his cabin.
Not possessing a team to work his
place, he went to work in town some
years ago, and while there he became
insane for a time and was sent to
the asylum at Salem. While in that
condition his homestead and effects
were sold to pay accumulated debts.
Lately he has been visiting among
frien«is in the valley most of the
time. What relatives he was known
to have live somewhere in the East.
Th» Clever Scheme Evolved by th»
Clock Winder.
The contract f««r k«*«ping the church
and town hall clocks in order was giv
en to a new man. Unfortunately from
the start be exi«erien«»d a difficulty in
getting the clock» t<> strike at the same
time. At last the district council re
quested an Interview with the watch
maker.
"You are not so sur»^»*sful with the
clocks a* your predece*s««r." he was
told. “It is very misleading to hare
one clock striking three or four min
ute* after tbe other. Before you to«»k
them in band we could hardly tell tbe
two were striking. Surely you are as
competent?;’
"Every workman has his own meth
ods. gentlemen." repli«*d the watch
maker. "and mine aiD’t the same as
H.'s were."
"I'm d«’id«»dly of the opinion that it
would be for tbe general good If they
