Ethan Enterprise: Stephen Judge
Of Mitchell was down from there
Tuesday renewing acquaintance and
looking after his fine farm just north
of town. Mr.. Judge has invested in
Canadian land and expects to locate
there in the future. He is Offering
his farm here FOR sale, feeling that
he can invest his money in the Cana
dian northwest to greater advantage.
There has some snow fallen since
last Fiday night, and a measurement
taken Tuesday showed that on
the level it was twelve inches deep.
Taking into consideration how much
the snow has settled since it first
began an estimate of at least Is
inches is not far out of the way. Up
at Fargo, N. D., it is reported that
the snowfall up to Saturday night
was 16 inches. 1t seems as though
there is sufficient in this vicinity
right now to last until spring with
the winter hardly begun.
The MONDAY prayer meeting of the
Y. NJ. C. A. was addressed Tuesday by
DR.. T. ]. Macmurray, pastor of the
Presbyterian church. There was a
good attendance of men at the meet
ing and the sessions prove very profit
able to those who attend them. DR..
Macmurray's subject was twofold.
He first considered the work of the
State and Provincial committees of
the North American Association, and
then took up the presentation of the
Young Men of North and South
America. These meetings last about
thirty minutes and the every man
to attend them.
The roads in the vicinity of Mitch
ell for the past three days have been
such condition that the rural mail
have not yet been able to
make their full routes since Satur-
day. The first of the week one car
rier went 5 miles and the others less
than that, due to the fact that the
roads r in such condition that trav-
Ell cannot be made. If the farmers
exercise a little precaution in
matter and see that the high
are in as good condition as pos
and kept So. there will be less
complaint and during the winter
about mail not being delivered.
Travelling over the country with
big bunch of chorus girls in a must
cal comedy is not the pleasantest
sort of thing, judging by the informa-
lion which comes up from Yankton.
Four of the chorus girls in Babes
From Toyland" quit the show at that
place, N being fired and three 9TH
ers walked out in sympathy. The
head drummer of the chorus girls
s said to have had a scrap with the
rap drummer in the orchestra, who
struck the young lady and she came
back at him in a vigorous manner.
The trap drummer was a necessity
md the drummer girl was not, SO
she vas the n let out. All is not
'osy on the outside as it appears be-
lind the footlights with the music
md singing going on.
When w. B. Patton comes to
Mitchell Thursday evening in "The
he will be accompanied
~ a young lady who was a former
Mitchell girl, Mrs. e. d. Smith, but
better known as Phyllis Mckay. Mrs.
grew to womanhood in Mitch
III, attended the schools graduated
md often appeared in the drama here
With home talent. She gave evidence
# much histronic ability, and which
alter was developed. That was some
en- years ago. She has been with
he Patton company for the past four
and with her husband has
made a fine success on the stage.
FRS. Smith will be greeted by her
many oldtime friends in Mitchell on
he occasion Of her first appearance

.ndered quite an ovation.
