The Christmas exercises at the
town hall last Saturday evening was
quite a pleasant affair. A good com
pany Were out to witness the display
of talent and presents The exercises
were not up to the standard that this
place has set for itself, but that was
owing in part to the fact that the
''little folks" did double duty that
week, having attended to "lhetori.
GALS in school. The program was a
good one lasting about an hour which
was long enough for those who had
to stay on the stage any length OF
time in the cold. CIT is said they

In commencing the new year we
shall strive to make our little paper
just as good as our ability, surround

and shall strive to the end that no

ton. Our religion stands for beauti
full homes and clean and loving hearts
within them. Have these and good

Senate's belligerency resolution now
pending in the House of Representa-
tives. When the demand is opposed by
the wornout technical pretext that the
insurgents are not entitled to such
action until they have first established
complete de facto government, the
answer should be promptly made that
the law of nations demands no such
thing; that the resolution in question
need only recognize the fact that there
is now in Cuba state of war"

The riots which have occurred in Ha-

crowds Of the revolutionary element and
they proceeded to wreck another news

the police and the officer arrested. He
will be tried by a court marital.
The crowd increasing, the local volun-
teers were called out. The mob then
dispersed with cries Of Long live Wey-
ler," Down with Blanco, the United

This public demonstration and the ut
