vi f1tltIlh, WHICH Wub uCiiNcTcu III tht
Presbyterian church last Thursday
evening. proved to bequite a treatto
those who were fortunate enough to
attend. 1t being very interesting and
instructive. The attendance was
not as large as hoped for, which per.
haps could be accounted for by such
short notice of the date OF lecture.
The social ut the parsonage last
Friday night proved a great success,
about So people being In attendance.
Ice cream and other refreshments
were served. Music, singing and a
general good time was INDUCED in
and every n went home pronounc-
Ing it IN evening well spent.
Mike Warren, advance agent OF
Schilling's Best, was with us on Sat
urday last.
The attack made upon the writer
OF this by your Philbrook correspond
ent was quite unlocked for, and i
must confess / am not as well versed
in the p's ard ms as my Philbrook
co-worker, but l have a slight idea OF
c~ussedncss. fully agree with him
regarding the good moral standing
Of Philbrook society and regret the
anvil of Tom Waddcll should make
such n noise, but to me it seems that
the Philbrook correspondent, having
the knowledge that | was at one
time n British subject, could not re-
frain from giving me n shot, as he has
a slight tendency to be n boor.

his contract work on the road lead
Ing out Of Utica to the main road
from Great Falls to Lewistown. 1t
was Il much needed Improvement.
Through some misunderstanding A.
C. ~Stoutenberg, the regular road SUI
pervisor appointed by the county
commissioners, was not aware that
this particular piece Of road had been
let by contract and came here pre-
pared to go to work on 1t the same
morning that Mr.. Abbottcommenced.
He naturally felt hurt that he had
not been acquainted with the fact.
and justly, too, when the condition
of our roads last spring, caused 10y
heavy SHOWS and rains, is taken into
consideration. Mr.. Stoutenberg de.
serves great credit for putting them
in their present shape, as he has la
bored faithfully In doing so, but II
was impossible for him to be all over
at the same time.

nection with same and also accepted
the fair sex into the order.
