The L. C. A. entertainment last
Friday night drew a full house and
the play, "Mr. Bob" was one of the
best ever given by the school. The
parts were taken by Misses Anna
Grimes, Reba Moves, Halle Gates
Ethel Strong, and Messrs. Niram
Darling, Ernest Mills and Geo. Grimes.
The farce, "To Meet Mr.. Thompson"
was decidedly funny and created
much amusement. In this Misses
Helen Mcfarland, Paulina Darling,
Ida Collins, Halle Gates, Leila Col
Inns, Eva Manning, Ethel Strong and
Reba Noyes had parts. Mrs. E. G.

the Senior class treasury.
la recent item published in this
paper we stated that Col. Sawyer was |
probably the only man now living in
town VINO had seen Arabian Lincoln |
alive. We have learned of several |
men hereabouts that have seen Lin
coin. Among them are: Jehiel |
Bailey, who saw Lincoln and young
Tad" and had shaken hands with |
the former several times; Lewis Whit,
temOre also saw him, as has Bert |
Bachum, E. A. Gallup and Porter
Butts. Jonas Stevens had him
pointed out to him once from a dis
lance. In this connection we might |
add that Mr.. Butts while in the army
was located for time at Washington
and saw Mrs. Lincoln thrown from
her carriage by an accident. He ran
to her assistance and helped her into
a wagon. She was hurt about the
head, but very kindly thanked the
soldier boys for the aid they had rem.
dered her.
