THROUGHPUT THE VALLEY.

The Literary Society at the Hall
school Saturday evening last was one
of the best meetings of the society.
The program was nicely rendered. and
the question, Resolved, That there is
more pleasure in married than single
life," was ably debated. Frank Car
negie, S. M. G. Hughes and }. A.
Carnegie defended married life, while
Arthur Smith, Otto Neubert and
Charles Horton defended the single side
Of the question. and 1t is admitted by
all that they made strong plea for
their respective sides OF the question:
especially the negative side, notwith-
standing that they, or at least two Of
them, by the presence of their wives,
who took seats where they could look
their husbands in the face, which
greatly confused II en-, AL. there Is no
doubt about it Duu tnat the negative
side would have won had their wives
s4"iT at home, rs they should have
zone. And the young man who was
on the negative side was placed at
great disadvantage because be was
afraid that his sweetheart might go
back on him if he said too much so
after telling the judges thai he didnt
think there was any pleasure in walk
ing the floor with crying baby at
night and perhaps might happen to
step on IA tack, but he hadn't tried 1T
and didn't know as he wanted them
to decide in favor Of the negative.
The judges, who were composed OF
Fletcher Kirk, Nick Hoeg and Mrs.
Walberg, decided two for the affirma-
tive and one for the negative.
