CLERK AL
LOWED AT POSTOFFlCE

With the increase in salary of the
Payette postoffice due to the in
crease in business, Postmaster Vena-
BILE has received the notice that he
will be allowed an additional clerk to
assist in the business. Miss Ethel
Venable will assume the duties Of
the new clerk on July 4th. The
growth of the business at the post
office is one of the best indications
of the advancement of a community
and the fact that the Payette office
received a better advancement in
salary and help than many other COM
munities in Southern Idaho says plain
ly that Payette is growing more rap
idly than many other places.

ering. A great mass dinner was ar
ranged and spread on one long table
in the beautiful grove belonging to
Mr.. A. E. Wood, and there between
three hundred and four hundred peo-
pie ate together and formed new ac-
quaintances.
Owing to the vast crowd it was
impossible to find room for them
in the church. so the afternoon ad-
dresses were given in the grove, and
fitting place it proved to be.
Sunday morning, state ministers in
attendance upon the convention We're
invited to occupy the pulpits of the
Methodist church, Baptist church and
the Church of God, and this express
sion of fraternal feeling on the part
of the Payette churches was fully and
warmly appreciated by the conven-

final sermon was delivered Mon

Payette, president; J. H. McSparran,
Meridian, vice president; T. ]. Co
lightly, Caldwell, recording secreta-
ry; Frank e. Jones, Caldwell, cor

year than at any previous convention.

LOSES FINGER WHILE
WORKING WITH HAY DERRICK

On Wednesday of this week Phil
lipp Shamberger, the twelve year
old son of Mrs. w. B. Shamberger,
while working with a hay derrick
got the second finger of his right
hand caught in such a manner as
to completely sever the member from
his hand. He pluckily picked up
the severed end and with his moth
er came to Payette to consult a
physician. On reaching the doctors
office the lad produced the severed
finger end from his coat pocket and
insisted that the physician sew
the same back on the finger. This
was done and while the result of the
finger again uniting is doubtful there
is still a chance that it will.
