The public school gave very
creditable entertainment at the NJ.
L. Church last Saturday evening.
The church was crowded. The pro
gram consisted of recitations, drills
and farce in three acts, with music
by the Clover Leaf club.
There will be memorial services at
the NJ L. Church Sunday at IL
O'Clock, conducted by Rev. Clinton
Riddle assisted by Rev. C. r. Wright.
Music will be furnished by the
church choir. All comrades and old
soldiers are requested to meet at the
G. A. R. hall at 1920 p. m.
Yesterday was the ninth anniver-
sary Of tho birth Of Lamar. Since
the effects of the premature boom of
the first two years wore of, each year
has been marked by steady and
substantial growth. The past year
has shown the most rapid progress
and development, but the present
promises to outstrip it.
The corner Main street lot and the
adjoining one opposite the First Ma
tional Bank building have been pur-
chased by Messrs. Goodale and
Cooper. They intend shortly to put
up building on the corner lot, and
A. Everett will probably build on the
adjoining one. The indications are
that the east side of Main street will
soon be as solidly built up as the
west side.
One of the largest crowds that ever
assembled in Lamar was the one that
turned out Monday night to bid good
bye TO Rev. Brandyberry. The choir
furnished some excellent music for
the occasion. Hon. G. G. Goodale
on behalf of the people returned
thanks to Rev. Brandyberry for the
good work done here and gave some
forcible reasons for his return. Rev.
Brandyberry responded and thanked
the people for the kindness shown
him. The members of the church
served refreshments free to all. Near
ly five hundred were present.

Final Examinations.

Final examinations will be given
in all of the departments of the pub
lie schools next week. All pupils,
who are DESTROYS of doing the work
of a higher grade, should not fail to
be present, as no promotions will be
made unless this examination Is taken
and those who do not take it should
remember that such an examination
will be given next fall upon their en-
trance, and that they must pass it
and meet our requirements, or take
the same grade in which they were
this year. There is no excellence
without labor, and only those who
are punctual, regular and studious,
can reasonably expect good grades in
scholarship. we hope to see many,
who have discontinued school work,
present next Monday morning ready
for the work which you should do
this year. Our schools should be
second to none in the state, and we
propose to raise the standard to the
highest plane. Hoping that you will
advance your interests by taking ad-
vantage of these suggestions, Iremain
Yours Respectfully,
A. l.. HAMILTON, Principal.

tied mania for public Office from his
late lamented father. Wickersham,
the elder, with the exception of three
or four days employed wheeling tailings
at Leonard's mill at Silver City, was
never known to be otherwise occupied
in Idaho except in either holding or
looking for an Office. The writer of
this, four years ago, wrote a paragraph
saying that he was raising his boys to
pursue the same course, and that it was
very poor way to raise boys. When
young man learns that there are 9th.

much more certain of promising q sue
cessful career than striving for public
position, be has acquired valuable
lessen. There are older men than Yves
in Idaho who ought to
learn this lesson.

men at work in the tunnel, laying a

1t is thought it will take about thirty
days to drive the face of the tunnel to
cut the ledge, after which drifts will be
run in both directions upon it. If this
property does not prove up a valuable

Scales failing mill at Wag ontown, last
Wednesday morning, and the mill is now
grinding merrily away upon the tailings
from the DeLamar mill. The mill has
been increased in capacity, but is still
far from large enough to keep up with
.hho supply daily carried down by the
flume. The process of saving what es-
capes from the big mill, in the tailings
is cheap, simply re-smalgamating, after
the values in them have been oxydized
by lying in the yards where they are
stored, water power, requiring scarcely
any attention, being employed, and
only enough fuel being nsed to heat the
pans. Unless hard freezing weather
should yet come, long run may be an
iicipated.

Several days since, some correspond
ent of the Statesman wired that paper
that Mr.. Charles E. Knapp had sold bis
grocery" to DR.. J. ]. Plumer. AT that
time an option had been given by Mr..
Knapp to DR.. Plumer and Frank Plum
mer for the purchase of his drugstore,
stock and good will, until March 10th,
and the probability is that these gem
tlemen will make the purchase. At
that time the NUeGEr was requested not
to make mention OF the proposed
deal Although the gentlemen who
will probably succeed Mr.. Knapp are
held in high esteem here, the regret
will be universal for the loss of Mr..
Knapp as business man and of him
self and family who rank among the
very best people of our town. They
have resided here almost since the first
house was built in the camp, Mr.. Knapp
having been general superintendent of
the mines under Captain DeLamar's
regime, and having engaged in BUSH
ness for himself about the time the
present company took charge. Mr..
Knapp is as yet not decided as to where
he will engage in business after leaving
here, but contemplates taking Mrs. K.
and Mamie te Iowa City, Iowa, where
Arthur is now attending school where
they will remain, Mamie attending
school, while he is looking around for
a business location. He is contemplate |
ing visit to Honolulu and may decide
to become citizen of that young re-
public. IF he should, we should be de-
cidedly in favor of annexing the United |
States to the Sandwich Islands, thereby |
President Dole for Presi-
dent Cleveland and again being able to
claim Mr.. Knapp as our fellow citizen.
