given for her recovery
On Tuesday evening of last week at
the public school building was held
a very successful fair and entertain
ment in the afternoon and evening.
About three o'clock in the afternoon
the pupils in the intermediate and
grammar rooms rendered a very fine
Thanksgiving program in the assemb-
ly ROOM A large crowd of friends
and parents were present who were
we'll entertained. In different rooms
of the building stands and booths
were doing a good business selling
candy, popcorn and many useful ar
ticles, including confetti. The duck
pond was we'll patronzed. The even
ing program was rendered at eight
o'clock by the high school. Professor

welcomed everyone and stated the
gathering Of the friends and pupils
was really to formally open the new
school building, which is second to no
other school building in the county.
1t is modern in every way. The dam
age reported done by the bursting of
the water pipe was only trifling 1t
is all repaired now as good as it was
at first. After the address of Pro-
fessor Fouts duet by Miss A. Cramp-
ton and Miss Grubb was we'll rem
dered. The chorus by Miss Red
Scarf reading by J. Jensen, piano
solo by Miss Pauline Granny, vocal
solo by LaVerne Fouts were much en-
joyed. The farce. borrowing Trou-
BILE" was next rendered by the high
school pupils with credit to each and
every one of the characters. A visit
to the museum was much enjoyed.
Few schools in the county can show
as good. The proceeds were to apply
on the payment of new piano, pur-
chased by the school. The weather
that evening was very cold yet the

room for all to see the show. Every
