The graduating entertainment, be-
ing prepared by Supt, Fate and
others will take place at the church
Saturday evening.
The graduating class will consist
of two members namely: Della
Stoddard and Albert Fetterman.
Besides essays by the class, there
will be declarations, select reading
and essays by others. Mrs. N. A.
Kirk has in preparation a musical
program, and Prof. J. e. Mannix is
expected to be present and deliver
an address. Supt. Fate informs us
that he may conclude to hold the
second annual meeting of the IN
ion County Teachers Association
at the school building on the day
prior to the entertainment.
Rev. G. Derry, a clergyman of the
church of Latter-day Saints, held
meetings in the school house during
the past week, which were attended
by large numbers of our people.
While many of his hearers agreed
with him on certain interpretations
Of Scripture, especially that concern.
ing baptism, yet Joseph Smith as II
prophet and the inspiration of the
"Book Of Mormon did not seem to
receive much appreciation. With
all he is a very pious and sincere
minister of what he believes to he
truth, and we respect him for it.
The following lines were penned
as a portentious storm was forming
in the west:
Now the jealous zephyr sweepeth,
At the close OF day.
Now the watchful dudley keepets.
From its path away.
Lovers courteth in the basement,
Watching to aides blink;
While above in dire DETACHMENT
Nature stoops to drink.
Waited on the western breezes,
Comes the cyclone down, /.
Hear his breath sigh in the "treeses,"
Mark the awful frown;
See the humans staring madly
Thro' the deepening mist,
Murmuring prayers all sad and lowly
For they fear a "twiit.'
