Mr.. Editor Thinking that perhaps
you might like to hear from this part of
the ''moral vineyard, send herewith q
few items
Crops are fine. One young man in this
section has piece of corn that he has
to hire it worked. 1t grows 50 fast that
he can't keep up with it himself.
Politics are at low ebb in this section,
but that 'bait-digging" young man says
he would like to form an alliance with a
plrty or two that he knows of. If any
of your young lady correspondents wish.
es to know of the whereabouts you can
tell them that he is out surveying his
land in Colley Swamp, otherwise known
as the land of Pixies. | am afraid he
will hurt his back again. BETA

Plucky Citizens Rebuilding Their School
House and Church.
BIG TIMBER. Jan. 3d. Special. Not
much is being done in the way of improve
ment now except the finishing of those be-
lated buildings and some additions to bus
mess houses. The city meat market is be-
ing heightened by an addition to its rear,
also the postofice.
The school has been broken into by the
blowing away of the shoot house roof and
lately by sickness. The scarlet fever has
made some inroads into the ranks, several
scholars being sick with it, and others
driven into seclusion through fear of it. So
far, however, the disease has been of a very
mild type. Miss Baker and Miss Stanley
are doing excellent work in the school, and
those who are unable to attend are great
losers.
Jan. 18, at q school meeting, the citizens
voted $4,000 to rebuild that portion OF the
nchool building blown down in the early
winter. The people of Big Timber are an
enter prising and plucky set, and do not
give up easily.
The congregational church, twice blown
down while IN process of building, has
been go far completed as to be used for
service for two Sundays past, and Rev.
Branch, the pastor, Is now gathering funds
for its furnishing, 1t ID to be seated with
opera chairs of very pretty design. 1t ia
warmed by IL furnace put in by Mr.. Charlep
Ollnstead. the timer and general all
around man in Miles' hardware store, and
is Il very fine heater. The church nnd
~citizenE generally are much pleased with
the appearance of the chapel, and look for
ward to it's completion and use with mucl
anticipation.
Mrs. Oscar Anderson, one of Big Tim
ber's pioneer settlers, died very suddenl,
Sunday morning of paralysis. The funera
was largely attended. Services were con
Quoted by Rev. Branch at 4 p. m. on Mon
day. The husband has the sympathy 0
the entire community, He is left sntirel.
alone in his home OF sorrow.
