BETHEL,

Tuesday the Hebron girls basket ball
team came to Bethel and played the
Gould girls academy team. The result
at the close of an exciting game resulted
in 10 to in favor Of GOuld's. Before
the game the visiting team rode around
the village and got winter view Of the
mountains, and after the game light re-
freshments were served by the young
ladies of Gould's.
DR.. C. D. Hill is very i'll with typhoid
fever. For two weeks he has been quite
unequal to the professional duties re-
Quired of him, but with the same un-
selfish spirit he has always shown, he
never refused to answer call until
Nature herself called halt! DR.. William
son of Portland was called and later DR..
King came in response to telegram, also
a trained nurse. DR.. G. l.. Sturdivant is
the local physician in charge. A very
large circle of friends are awaiting
anxiOusly the result and hoping favor
able turn in the disease.

closed Thursday. Wednesday and
Thursday were given to written exami-
nations.
Mr.. Silas Peaslee of Upton and Miss
