of Nj. Il. Weideman, the superinten.
dent, and Rev. f. II. Bruins, the
pastor. who said that this being the
6rst meeting held in the church was
so much more ioyful.and that they
had reasons to be thankful to the
Heavenly Father and all that helped
to build the structure. The exercises
of singing and speaking was partici-
pated in by the children. each. of

dies and gentlemen and their singing
was excellent under the direction Of
Mrs. L. j. Giblett. The last thing
ON the program was very taking. A
large face of a clock stood in the CEN
ter OF the archway surrounded by the
draperies. At the place of each fig
ure on the clock face a hole had been
cut nearly around it, twelve children,
one after the other, put their faces III
the holes and recited a verse. the one
hand of the clock traversing the dial
as each face appeared. When the
hour Of twelve arrived and the little
fairy had given her selection it was
the signal for the coming OF Old San
ia Claus, and it was a moment of ex-
p%ectancy to the little ones. His ar
rival brought forth the distribution
OF the gifts, and a very happy even
ing came to q close.

of songs and recitations of Christmas
tide as given by the little folks of

The weather for Christmas eve
could not have been more favorable
for the attendance at the exercises at

of an elaborate character, although
everything was highly interesting.

GRANTED THE LICENSES
City Council Held a Special Meeting,
to Grant Saloon Licenses for
six Months.

A special meeting Of the city coun-
Gil was held Monday evening, the
principal business of which was -
pass upon the saloon licenses for the
ensuing six months. There we're sew
en- applications filed with the audit
or, those Of Fred Widmann. Fogarty
& Geiger, Michcls & Tobin. Philip
Tobin. G. R. Norris, Chas. Martin
and Charles Sanford. The applica-
lions were granted.
Alderman Wells presented a matter
to the council concerning the DUR
chase OF a piece of ground, 25x1Oe
feet, that lies east. of the city hall
location. Mr.. Wells thought that
while the opportunity was favorable
and before the property increased to
a greater value that the city ought
to purchase it to prevent the erection
of a building which would spoil the
appearance Of the city hall building
when it is completed. The matter
was pretty thoroughly discussed and
wh'le the members felt that it would
be a splendid idea to have control OF
the property to prevent the erection
OF the building yet they hesitated on
the propriety of expanding the
amount of money necessary to secUe,
it. The property is owned by the 4.
j. Kings, and is valued at s1,5ee.
The city hall committee, consisting
Of Messrs. Hannett, Curtis, Perry.
Foster, and Wells, was instructed t.
confer With Mr.. Kings and see what
could be done toward the purchase OF
the property, and make a report al
the regular meeting Of the council
next Monday evening.
Tuesday morning the committee
met MI. Kings and the matter was
gone over thoroughly. The commit
tee made a proposition to give him
81, $50 for the lot and he decided to
accept the same. The committee
will recommend that tue council
make the purchase. which will doubt
less be ratified at the meeting: Mon
day night.
Through ills attorney, A. E. Hitch
ock, F. A. Bidwell again presented
the matter OF the special assessment
against his property for the amount
due. The assessment was adjusted
by accepting the face of the assess
ment with the interest.

At the Congregational Church.

A pleasing cantata was u of the
features Of the Christmas exercises at
the Congregational church, into
which was injected some other feat
ures that made a very interesting lit
erary and musical program. Pastor
Tomlin had charge Of the exercises
and the choir Of the church assisted
in the musical numbers, under the
direction of Mrs. Tomlin who presid-
ed at the organ. Carl Ruth assisted
in the music with his violin The
children who took part in the program
rendered their numbers in a very sat-
isfactory manner and each was greet
ed with applause. At the proper
time the Jingle of the bells announced
the arrival of Old Santa Claus and
from the pretty tree that stood at
the ear of the platform the presents
were distributed among the children.
The occasion was enjoyed by the old
er ones Of the church as we'll as by
the younger people of the Sunday
school. The decorations of the church
we're charmingly arranged and were
brought out attlactively by the bright
colors in the designs.
One Of the interesting features of
the evening was the presentation
made to Pastor Tomlin. Just. as he
had finished MAKING n few ron,arEc
Judge Grow stepped to the platform
and i'm a few appropriate words ex-
pressing the appreciation of his
friencs in the church presented him
with $50 in gold, to which several adj
ditions have Eeen made since the
presentation. Mr.. Tomlin vas so
overcome by the kindness and good
feeling expressed in the gift that he
could hardly find words to voice bis
thanks.

at 6 O'Clock, when their daughter,
Miss Lila NJ. Ewart and Mr.. III. Roy

of matrimony. Just at the hour Of
6 Miss Grace Conner played the in
spirng strains of Mendelsshon's We'd

in the front parlor. They took their
places in front of the north window
amidst a scene of beautiful floral dec

carnations and draperles made of hol-
ly.
The sacred words which made them
man and wife were pronounced by

Presbyterian church, to which the
bride and groom both belong. The
ceremony, which was very impress
sive, was witnessed only by the rela.
tives Of the bride and her class grad
mates of the musical department. CT

congratulations were showered on
the couple when their VOWS had been
assumed. The bride was costumed
in a gown Of white silk wolfe, and

she presented a charming picture Of
loneliness as she plighted her vows to
the man of her choice. The bride
has resided in Mitchell since the days
of her infancy and has grown through
her happy girlhood to her wedding
day amidst a wealth Of friendship in
her circle. She graduated last June

of the most apt students and fin.
ished with a fine education. MI.

ance agency of A. B. Hager. He is

AT the Methodist Church.

The. Christmas exercises at the
Methodist church were of a novel
character and more thoroughly exem-
pli6ed he.spi1it Of giving than re-
ceiving. When the members of the
church and Sunday school passed in,
to the church there was a barrel
and several other receptacles placed
to receive the gifts. Each brought
an ..apple, a potato or some other
small donation, which in the aggre-
gate amounted to quite at collection.
The first of the program was made
up Of songs, recitations, ETC., and
the young folks did themselves proud.

platform..that assisted IN the singing.

CITY WON THE CASE
Suit Brought Against City by Jas.
Wilson for Use of His Lot
Won by City.

j. l.. Hannett received a telegram
Tuesday from the clerk Of supreme
court stating that the court had Just
rendered a decision in the case Of
Wilson VS.. The City Of Mitchell, in
which the action OF the lower court
was affirmed.
About three years ago Mr.. Wilson,
who resides in Armour, brought suit
against the city for a sum between
$500 and $500, which lie claimed was
due him Tor the rent of the property
occupied by the artesian we'll on Main
street. 1t will be remembered that
when the city put down that we'll
some years ago it was supposed that
it was being done on the city's lot,
and it was several years afterward
before it was learned that the prop
erty belonged to Mr.. Wilson. When
suit was commenced every effort was
mdae to settle the case witch him, by
trading the oity's corner lot for his
property and paying $3.50 besides.
This ofIer..was declined and when the
case was tried in the circuit court
Judge Smith instructed the Jury to
bring a verdict for the city, and now
this has been Affirmed by the supreme
court.
George II. Summers had his usual
Christmas celebration at his home
on the annual holiday. About so
children assembled at his home in
response to an invitation and they
were RECALLED with some choice music
by Mrs. G. c. Halphide and some an
propriate remarks were made by Mr..
Elijah Tillotson and Mrs. g. M.
Goldie. After this came the refresh
ments for the children and the dis
tribution Of the toys that the host
had purchased to complete the hap
! piness Of the day.
