The DeLamar nugget. [volume] (DeLamar, Idaho) 1891-1900, 1899-12-29

Rev. j. d. Bird and wife this week.
Saeur Kraut at Crossons.
Mr.. and Mrs. Glover who came up on
Monday, to attend Mr.. Shea's funeral
remained over until the ne,S day and
were accompanied home by their
daughter, Miss Keenan,, who will return
in time to open school, after the vaca-
tion.
Harry j. Snyder, who was at one
time an undesirable resident of Della
mar, died at Caldwell Christmas night.
His wife, an estimable woman who has
been stopping in DeLamar for several
weeks, went over Wednesday morning
to attend the funeral.
Mr.. Sid Knight, of Sheaville, who
supplies nearly all the hay used by the
DeLamar company, and this year sup
piled the town with 150 turkeys for
Christmas dinners, followed his usual
custom of calling on the Nugget to wish
us good luck and emphasizing his good
wishes with his subscription paid in
advance. May prosperity abide with
him and his.
The carol singers were out for several
nights this week and made the sides of
our mountain gulch echo with melodies.
1t is one Of the features of Christ
mastide in our camp that Cornish
miners are musical lot of lads and
that nearly score of their best singers
enjoy nothing better than to make the
rounds of the residences of their
friends and treat them all to delightful
melodies. While this year we missed
some of the older fine voices, number
of younger ones have taken their
places and the melody still exists.
If child in the town missed getting
a nice toy or doll, together with box
of sweets, out of Santa Claus ample
store the ladies who looked after his
little friends cannot lay it to their want
of diligence in counting and p1ning
the children. The census of the town
showed that there were two hundred
and sixty-seven of them within the
limits of ages when such things can be
best appreciated. The gathering of the
children and their parents also demon
strated tbs a.salargest roor 1eLa-
mar was fsfu,6o small all.
There wss scarcely room for the ladies
aRdfchlldren, with the men left on the
outside. 1t was big, happy time.
The leader of the DeLamar Cornet
Band has asked that the Nugget ex-
press the thanks of the members to the
public for the generous patronage
given them at their benefit ball Christ
mas night. We have Il mind to do
nothing of the kind for them. In ad-
dition to the persons who purchased
tickets having had value received in a
fine dance with good music, there was
not mothers son Tor daughter) either
at the ball or at home at DeLamar who
does not owe our splendid band many
times the price of ticket for the
delightful music it has given us on
many occasions. Take back your
thanks boys, we don't deserve them.
Married--At DeLamar, Idaho, Dec.
"a, 1899, Mr.. George H. Kent and Mrs.
Margaret Franks, both of DeLamar,
Idaho, Rev. j. D. Bird, officiating. The
groom is a well known DeLamar miner
and the bride the proprietress of the
Alta boarding house. The wedding was
a quiet affair, the invited guests being
confined to only few of their more
intimate friends and the guests of the
house who, however, contrived to make
it quite a notable affair and to have a
most happy time. The bride received
a large number of elegant presents.
Both have the good wishes of a large |
circle of friends, the NUGGET joining |
the others in wishing them happiness
and prosperity.
A Christmas service was held at the
school-house last Sunday e, ming. The
pastor preached Christmas sermon
to large congregation. One remark
able feature of the service was carol
singing. The choir had been well
drilled by the leader w. j. Harvey, but
when the congregation joined in so
heartily and enthusiastically, an on
locker would have supposed the whole
were the choir. The SER
vice was treat to those not acquainted |
or accustomed to carols. 1t twas great
treat to the pastor and others. He
would have enjoyed the after service
could he have remained, but duty's |
call directed him to the Alta House
where Mrs. Matte Franks and George
Kent were united in marriage. Come
again boys, and help us sing.
