WAS WELL RECEIVED

Never town was there more loyal
to its own interests than Yale; never
town more appreciative of what its
people can do than this small city of
ours. Many time have we cited in
stances when local talent has put some
thing upon the boards in the Opera
House which every time has filled the
house to its utmost capacity and also
has, every time, fulfilled the eXpecta-
tions of its audiences. We are glad
that this is so and we have now as furth-
er proof only to point with pride to
the immense audience which greeted
our home actors in the play "She Stoops
to Conquer"
The organization of the Delta Lamb
da Club was effected this fall and for
several weeks, practice has been going
on for the production of this drama
which OH Wednesday evening was pre-
sented in Central Hall. An admiring
critical audience pronounced the work
of these amateurs as good as that Of
professionals and altogether praise
worthy.

Rensley Holden delighted the audi

with Mrs. Staley as accompanist. Geo.
Windsor also gave several piano selec
tions between acts which kept all in
good humOr.
The Club have i'm mind another dra-
ma of later times, which the members
will soon go to work upon and which
they may be sure will receive as warm
greeting as this one.

HIGH FAMILY REUNION.

On Thanksgiving Day High reun-
ion was held at the home of Mr.. Leslie
High, when large number of relatives
gathered.
Nearly century ago the Highs, a
sturdy Dutch family from the Twenty
Mile Creek, settled on the "Street" as
Talbot road is familiarly called i'm this
section, taking up their land from Col.
Talbot; prosperity followed them and
they were soon in comfortable circum-
stances. There were three sons in the
family, Amos, Andrew and John. John
was the rolling stone, who saw much
of the world but Amos and Andrew
settled on the homestead which was
divided between the two, and it was
the descendants of these, that are left
and could be gathered together, that
assembled on Thanksgiving day.
Everybody present apparently en-
jOyed themselves and had jolly time,
everybody ate lots of good things with
which the tables fairly groaned A
large quantity of fresh grapes and pea
ches, furnished by Mr.. &. Wismer ,Jor-
dap from his fruit farm were certainly
enjoyed by all.
After dinner a program was given.
Mr.. &. Wismer was elected chairman
and very ably filed the chair. The
program consisted of songs, speeches,
stories and "reminiscences, both serious
and funny. At the close a vote of
thanks was rendered the host and host
ess, responded to by the host A vote
of thanks was also rendered Mr.. and
Mrs. G. Wismer, responded to by Mr.
Wismer. The program was brought to
a close by singing the national anthem
and "God be with you till we meet
again." Those present from a distance
were:-Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Wismer,
Mr.. and Mrs. Candy Wismer, Jordan,
Ont; Mrs. Darius Dean and Miss Rosie
Dean, st. GATHERINGS; Mr. and Mrs.
Henry High, Yale, Mich; and l.. II.

ENTHUSIASTIC RALLY.

An enthusiastic Christian Endeavor
Rally of st. Clair county was held in
the Presbyterian church, Yale, on
Thursday and Friday, December 10 and
IL. While the attendance was not
large, yet the amount of interest and
enthusiasm shown more than made up
for the deficiency in number.
William Ralph Hall, of Ann Arbor,
the new field secretary for Michigan,
was present and certainly gave inspira-
tion TO the meetings. Mr.. Hall enters
into his new field of labor with all his
heart and inspires all with whom he
comes i'm contact to better and more
earnest work.
The convention opened on Thursday
evening with song service, and deVo-
tional by Rev. w. :. Ostrander. The
addresses of welcome for the city were
given by representatives of the various
societies i'm Yale, aud responded to by
Miss Polly Wilcox. The address of the
evening was by Rev. Il. II. Case of the
Presbyterian church. His subject was
practical Christian Endeavor."
Friday morning after, the main adj
dress was given by Rev. :. II. Todd of
Bay City on swimming the Child for
Christ" followed by two conferences,
one on "What our young people should
mean to u.s.; the other, led by William
r. Hall, on what we need in Endeav-
Or. An address by Rev. Mcdonald, of
Anderson, Ind, on "The Work of the
Endeavor" followed, after which the
business of the convention was trans
acted.
The afternoon session was opened
with devotional and a question box af-
ter which Mr. Hall gave an interesting
talk on "Our Responsibility a con-
ference on "What shall we do with our
Missionary and Temperance Meetings"
came next, followed by a children's
meeting. Rev. Mr.. Case had charge of
this part of the program.
The Friday evening meeting was very
inspiring. Mr.. Hall gave the main ad-
dress of the evening followed by five
minute addresses by the pastors. The
Mizpah service occurred Saturday
morning before train time. A letter of
sympathy was sent to Rev. William
Sidebotham on account of the death of
his son Richard.
The convention was a very good one
considering the time of year and every
one was pleased with the entertainment
furnished.

young man, having been born there
twenty-six years ago. He graduated
from the high school and then attend
ed the University of Michigan, gradu-
ating from the Law Department in
1906 Since then he has been practis-
ing i'm Port Huron and there are none
better liked or with better reputation
for honesty and uprightness than he.
BY such means he has secured an en-
viable practice, and this appointment
will further his good work. With such
prosecutor and assistant the citizens
of St Clair county can look for strict
prosecution of all offenders against the
law, with no political strings attached
to either of the officials.
AS proof that Fred Brown has no
political strings tied to him, we can
cite this instance of the appointment
of Mr.. Stewart as assistant. Mr.. Stew
art was active i'm his support of Thos.
George, who opposed Mr.. Brown for
prosecutor.
Mr.. Stewart called at our Office ON
Wednesday and we had the pleasure of
a short chat with him. He Is a very
young man for this position but we
feel sure he will meet all expectations.
We were very favorably impressed
with his frank, Straightforward man
ner and predict for him brilliant fu-
ture.
This strong pair will certainly do
their duty and the people of our coun-
ty will see that they have made a very
wise choice.

A SERIES OF ACCIDENTS

Verne Bell, the nine year old son of
Robt. Bell, living on east North street,
while climbing around the old village
hall building accidently fell and broke
his right arm between the wrist and
elbow. DIR. Turrell was called and the
break was soon set. The little fellow
is now doing well.
Mrs. Caroline Holden on Monday
slipped on the icy sidewalk on Me
chanic street, and fell receiving serious
injuries. Mrs. Holden is S6 years of
age and because of this the injuries are
the more dangerous.
Mrs. John Muir, of Spring street, also
fell on an icy sidewalk and received a
sprained wrist. She will be laid up for
some time.
