Rev. Hoffman will attend the mis-
sion fest held in the GermanC ongrega-
tional church at Quincy next Sunday.
Services will he held in his church
here as usual, one of the lay brethren
supplying his place.
H. A. Tritt, formerly Of Ritzville but
now of Hicksville, Wash, was in town
last Saturday on brief business trip.
He has recently put down well and
built house and barn on his big ranch
near Hicksville, and will go into the
stock and wheat raising business in
earnest. He says he has 400 acres of
wheat that looks fine.
The new Presbyterian church at
Post Falls was dedicated last Sunday,
entirely free from dept, and $50 was
subscribed toward the parse. age fund.
Rev. R. A. Finlayson, formerly of
this place, is pastor of this church and
the people of Odessa will be pleased
to learn that he is receiving such
splendid financial support in his new
field.
H. w. Golf, of Colfax, is new SUBJ
scriber to the Journal. Mr.. Golf owns
a large tract of land adjacent to Lake
Colville (Sprague Lake, part of which
he thinks it feasible to irrigate from
the lake and from Cow Creek, and he
has filed water right on the lake
frontage that covers all his holdings
that are likely to be brought under ir-
rigation and in the spring his firm will
make the experiment. We are in
formed that Mr., Golf is one of the
largest taxpayers on land alone in
Adams county.
A press dispatch to the Spokane
papers from Post Falls contains an
announcement that will interest
Odessa people, as it mentions the
marriage Of w. S. Holmes to Mrs.
Bessie Hutchinson at that place on
Thanksgiving day. This is supposed
to be the Mr.. Holmes that was en-
ployed as bookkeeper at the Odessa
State bank for a number of years
and the ceremony was perform ID by
his old friend, Rev. r. A. Finlay-
son, now pastor of the Presbyterian
church at Post Falls. which is also
given as Mr.. Holmes residence.
1t is reported that an old man named
Page-H. A. Page, of Lantz-received
quite severe shock to his nervous sys-
TEN last Thanksgiving evening from the
effects of which he did not fully recover
until the next day. Itseems that cupid
had, with his usual coyness, lead the
old man to the home of a friend about
mile north of town where, so far as
we are advised, he spent a pleasant
evening. On his return to town he was
suddenly attacked and seriously fright
ened by what he supposed to be three
ghosts dressed in all their CHASTITY garb.
The scare was complete success; SO
much SO, in fact, that it became neces-
sary for the GHOSTS, which turned out
to be three of the neighbors, to make
themselves known to him and exert
themselves to their utmost to pacify the
old man and prevent his going into hys-
terra. While it was all meant in fun it
came near resulting seriously for the
victim of the joke.
On last Thursday evening from to
o'clock the ladies of the Christian
church gave one of their choice feasts
to about $50 of Ritzville's hungry citi-
zens. They called it Harvest Home
Dinner" and charged so cents for it
and it was well worth it, fully sustain
ing the well known reputation of these
ladies' in giving value received at all
their dinners. 1t was table d'hote
affair and fellow was permitted to
eat all he wanted at the one sitting.
Several newspaper men took advantage
of the opportunity to get square meal,
among the number being Pape of the
Cunningham Gazette (who, by the way
had to be helped to the train. The
dinner was given in the Reeder build
ing, which had been most tastefully
