The Lewis school gave an entertain
ment last Thursday night. This en-
tertainment was gotten up on short
mott e. We would suggest that in the
future they take IL little Longer notice
so scholars could memoriZe their
pan is. However; the pieces were very
appropriate. The order of some of
the visitors was extremely disgusting,
to say the least. Miss Johnson's re-
quest was we'll taken when she sng-
gested that those who were shocking
peanuts should stop. This request was
met with c. les of uerisiOn by some of
our young tOughs and some who are
old enough to be decent. AS the pro-
gram progress d the parties tried to
run thing, TO suit themselves against
Miss Johnson's protest. Director Is
Pael being present arose and stated
that those who were creating dis
turbance must stop. But he had to
arise a second time with threats. 1t
showed a brave (?) spirit in these
tOughS, one, much to ones surprise,
member of one of our eading fami-
lies. to try to break up an entertain
ment run by school children and two
school marms. Seeing the board was
not going to efmit it they then com
menced to eXpectOrate great pools OF
tobacco juice on the floor We are
not writing this with the expectation
that it will work any good with these
parties. but to state that the good
people OF this community are aroused,
and, If they undertake any more of it
they will have to pay their respects to
the law.
