performance this evening.
 Prescott ought to plan to have at least one or two days of festiv- ities during the coming year. at which splendid and attractive entertainment should be provid- ed. Celebrations where good at fractions are provided always draw good crowds and large crowds always leave a lot of money among the merchants. No progressive town thinks of hay ing at least one period of such festivities and often times three and four celebrations of two, three and four days are had.
 At certain boarding house recently one of the guests was ready for his desert which he knew to consist of a piece of pie, so he called as follows to the waiter:
 I'm ready for a piece of that slippery elm"
 Guess that's something of slam on somebody's pie crust.
