En. WORLD: Christmas, 1890, in
Long valley, will long be remembered
by those WHO took part in the festiv-
ities on that occasion. 10 commence
at the Center school house the good
people were untirIng in their efforts
to make everybody happy. They had
a lovely Xmas Tree at the school
house for the children on Christmas
Eve, and on Christmas night the
Farmers Union gave a bounteous
supper for the older ones. At Van
Wyck, it being the close of the
school, the day was celebrated by a
dinner at the school house for the
children, in which the parents took
lively interest, and all present enjoy
ed themselves. At Beaver Meadows
school house a dance was given on
Xmas night. About twenty couples
were in attendance. Another dance
was given by Mr.. Rogers about two
miles distant and was also we'll at
tended. The road was we'll travelled
between the places by parties who
wanted to go to both dances, and
much merriment resulted.
During Mr.. Charles NewIand's alb
sence on Christmas day some mali
cious person entered his house, upset
the cupboard, breaking great many
dishes, turned the stove around, tore
an album to pieces, broke lamp and
scattered coal oil all over the house.
Even clock that was on high shelf
had been tampered with, and to COM
plete the ruin the pigs had been driv-
en- into the house to make it appear
that they were responsible for the
damage done.
The school house in Round valley
was burned, with all its contents,
few days ago. Another house was
built Immediately, and school will go
en- with but little delay. The fire
was accidental.
Mr.. Editor, in my last communica-
ton you raised the price of hay from
! s. to SI5 per ton, aud l want you to
take it back, for hay is down now and
you can buy all you want for 50 per
ton and the hauling thrown in.
There is not enough snow on the
east side OF the valley for sleighing,
and when we want to give our best
girl sleigh ride we have to go on the
west side where the snow is about six
inches deep.
About month ago Mr.. Wilburn
( Whitley and Miss Belle Kimball took
a notion to elope and get married,
the girls parents objecting on ao-
count of her youth, she being but
fourteen years old. She went to the
Lyceum in company with her broth
er Nate. During the entertainment
she quietly made her disappearance.
I On discovering her flight her brother
promptly followed on the supposition
that she had eloped with Mr.. White
/ ly. He was so prompt that he got
there frst-I mean to the Justices
and when the couple appeared to be
married they were confronted by the
brother, who calmly escorted the re
luctant girl home. Now for the Sc
quel. Last Saturday evening Miss
Belle again disappeared, this time
from home. Her father got war
rant for their arrest aud sent Consta-
Ole Smith after them, Not knowing
the direction taken, he started for
Squaw creek. In the meantime Belle
and Wiiburn went to SaIaon Mead
ows and were married, then returned
home. On the return of the Corsta-
BILE Mr.. Whitley was arrested on a
; charge of abduction and tried before
: Justice Dukes, who bound him over
, in the sum of $3.50 to await the ac-
ton Of the grand jury.
