n. P. company last week while on

'sY'' the train from the west pulled
into Sanborn and pulled out again
before the Coopertown train could
hack up to the depot. The other east
bound train was five hours late and
the officials knew it at the time, yet
they refused to hold the first train a
minute and compelled seventy people
TO wait until one O'Clock next morning
for the other train. This is not the
right kind of treatment and the pas.
sengers have a righteous kick coming.

given in BARLEY school No. /. It was
remarkable for fact that most of the
patrons Of the school and the director
appeared on the stage. The program,
consisting of songs, dialogs, recitations
and readings held the audience until
after midnight. One Of the best num-
bers was a portion of comic opera,
given by the grown-ups. The ladies
produced well filed baskets which
were sold to the highest bidder.
Everybody succeeded in capturing the
other fellows best girl, and all felt
well paid for wading thru the mud.
The proceeds, which amounted tc
about $40, will 60 towards buying an
organ for the school We believe that

would thus try to aid the teacher in
making the school success, that
there Would Lc much less kicking
done. A SPECTATOR.
