The School Entertainment.

The entertainment given at the NJ. E..
church last Friday evening, by the
pupils of the Williston schools, WAS the
grandest and most pleasing performance
ever rendered in Wiliston, and the
dense mass of spectators were more
than satisfied with every number Of the
program. The pupils had been thor
oughly trained and drilled. and when
they came upon the stage each and every
one rendered his or her part with un-
exceptionable accuracy and without a
break or halt from beginning to end. To
make any special mention of any one
particular performer, without sighting
another, would be almost impossible, AS
each one carried out his part in abso.
lutely faultless manner. The costumes
and appointments of the different num-
bers of the program were exceIlently
arranged, and speak in the highest terms
of praise for those who had the manage.
ment in charge, as we'll as in high com
mendation of those who had in hand
the training of the pupils. We have
vet to hear a single complaint, but on
the contrary every person present
alludes to the performance in most fiat
tering terms. and freely admits that he
got double his moneys worth.

A very pleasant social gathering was
had at the residence OF Mrs. Paul
Schierbeck last Monday afternoon. The
party consisted Of about thirty ladies
and ten children. all of whom were well
armed and equipped for grand old
time, and they were by no means dis
appointed. Mrs. Schierbsck entertained
her guests in a manner that would do
honor to royal princess. and served
superb dinner Of refreshments which,
in the language Of one lady who was
present, were almost indescribable
for variety and excellence. In the
evening. number Of gentlemen from
the city made sortie upon the place,
and passed the time in company of
many of the younger ladies in social
amusements until the wee sma hours of
the morn.

In justice to Mr.. Waldron, the Graphic
makes an apology for the uncompli-
mentary mention Of his name among
the Stony Creek items which appeared
in last weeks issue. We make the
apology because we believe it also due
the readers Of the Graphic, and for the
reason that it was in violation of good
taste. and directly opposed to the policy
of this paper. We do not deem it right
to use the columns of public journal
through which to vent ones spite
against fellow-ctizen, neither do we
counsel the maligning of a neighbor be-
cause be has departe" from the path Of
rectitude according to our own code.
If man, charged with crime against
the public peace, is tried by a jury of his
peers and acquitted, he is no longer
guilty of the breach. and no one has a
right to hound him thereafter on that
score to crafty arillwill. .

Special attention is called to the

ment asking bids for grayeling the street

tance to be graveled covers only 100
rods, running from the section line, or
township line, between ranges 100 and

proposes to gravel only that portion of
the road lying within the corporate

No communication which bears evi-

A move is now on foot to have the
business places Of the town closed up on
Sundays. This will undoubtedly be ap-
preciated by the clerical forces of the
different mercantile houses, and will
work no loss of trade to the firms that
will be affected by the move. As near
as we can learn meat markets. bakeries
and barber-shops will be allowed to re.
main open during the forenoons, and
the drug store all day if deemed neces-
sary, but all other places must remain
closed during the entire day and even
ing. OF course, the postoflice will be
allowed to open during the usual hour.
The closing of business houses on Sun
day, may for time meet with the dis.
appreciation Of many residents. but they
would soon become accustomed to it.,
and cause then. to form new habit and
do their trading olrD.lturdays.
There is understood to be-, ,ra of the
greatest deals on hand as aite ing the

by the Great Northern Railway com
pany. This ir supposed to be the real
significance of the present visit to the
sound Of President Hill and other
prominent officials. 1t is the intention
to run service direct from Seattle to
Yokohama and Hong Kong, with other
vessels going to Vladiyostock. For this
it will be necessary to haye at least six
vessels to give monthly service. There
will be SIC ,00O, 900 spent on this enter
prise, most of which will 20 to purchas-
ing and building vessels. 1t is believed
that it will be at least Il year before the
line will be in operation.
