The entertainment given under the

permit us to enter into details for there
were some that deserve special mention.

duced to stay until now. We very

ter some other branch of the G. r. L. 6 p.
company. Sue cess to you Dan in your
NEW roll. We bid Mr.. Leonard welcome
to Bucklin hoping that he will find his
duties and associations here pleasant
At the election held last Thursday on
the vuestion of issuing bonds to build a
new school house in Bucklin, the propo-
sition carried by a large majority, there
being one hundred and fifty votes cast for
| it and none against it. OF course those
that stayed away and did not vote are
counted as voting against it but there
| are not enough of them to cut any ice.
The committee will now proceed to
build as soon as the plans and specified
tons can be completed. They have de-
cided to build two story house, 3Sx54
feet. containing four rooms. They
think that will make room enough to ac-
comodate all of the pupils for few
years at any rate, and perhaps it will.
/ The expression on DR.. Bredehoft's face
when we met him Monday morning in
dicated great pleasure but with trace
of anxiety perceptable and aIook of new
| " awakened responsibility. These var
| led expressions were not caused by the
hot wave for the DIR. don't worry about
| the weather, but all was caused by the
arrival of that new boy at his house on
Sunday morning. We don't blame the
DIR. bit for feeling as If he were walk
| ing on the atmosphere instead of this hot
dusty old earth. The mother and boy
are getting along fine and barring un-
foreseen contingencies viii in a-shori
| time be able to lead the father around by
the nose, just as thousands of fond papas
have been led before. Congratulations fol
the parents. health and long life for the
hoy and hoping that he will haYe num-
erous playmates as he grows up.
