last Friday evening proved one of the
best comedy attractions seen here for
several seasons. 1t was a clean, clear
cut comedy and furnished fun enough

The high school decla matory con-
test, held at Culton Memorial hall Wed.
nesday evening, proved one of the

some additional prizes were awarded the
successful contestants. The High School
orchestra furnished very acceptable
music for the occasion.
