The school at Taber closed last
Friday night for the Christmas holi-
days with splendid program for
the school entertainment, combined
with Christmas tree. Despite the
sleet and snow that fell, a large
crowd attended the exercises. We
were glad to have them with us, but
sorry that we were not able to ac-
commodate them as we would have
liked to on account of not having
room enough in the academy. The
exercises began at o'clock by the
singing of a Christmas carol. Then
followed recitations, dialogues, songs
and other interesting features. I'm
fortunately the bad, weather pre-
vented some Of the children being
present on this occasion.
Immediately after the exercises
closed at the academy the people
were directed to go to the church,
where the Christmas tree was reared.
The limbs Of the tree were so heav-
lily laden with beautiful presents for
one another that they were bent in
a semi-circle, touching the floor. The
tree was holly, as pretty as the
half the presents could be placed on
the tree. Thomas Morehead and Da-
Vid Dickson, dressed in Santa suits,
