Mt. Carmel township is planning to
do considerable in the way of making
good roads this summer. There isn't a
section in this county where as good a
showing can be made for the money ex-
pended.
What's the matter with Mt. Carmel
having a good old fashioned Fourth of
July celebration this year? Let's getin
to the game early. It's our turn. Years,
ago Mt. Carmel showed it could make
good when it came to a patriotic cele-
bration of the Fourth.
To-day, tomorrow, Good Friday also
Saturday and Easter Sunday are days
upon the church calendar which will be
given special observance by Mt. Carmel
people. Much preparation has been
made for the musical portion OF the
service here Easter Sunday morn.
Fred Badertscher, the Mt. Carmel
painter, has his summers work cut out
ahead of him, Farm homes, too numer-
Gus to mention are to be prettily de-
corated with new paint. He also has
which will ornament the church pro-
perty in the village.
A real estate transfer of interest in
this vicinity is the sale of the quarter
section at Mt. G. rme}, upon which the
church is located, by I. Dawson, of
Dresden, to Micheal Druar. The con-
sideration is stated as being $4,000 and
the farm is considered to be one of the
best in the township.
Nothing has been heard locally on
the line of politics except that John L.
Schwartz, deputy register Of deeds is
out as a candidate for the office in
which he has seen many years of eff,
Gent and faithful service. There is
one thing certain, no matter no his
opponent may be. John will receive the
solid vote of his old friends and neigh
bors here.
Mt. Carmel is going to be in line as
soon as the season opens with a ball
team that will be in shape to play any
Cavalier county leHgue team OF 1912.
1t is too early yet for us to give the line
up, but Mt. Carmel is really going to
play winning ball this year. The boys
are ordering their outfits and there will
be plenty of players when the rush of
spring work will allow OF practice games
being played.
One Of the attractions of general in.
terest which the 90. of this neighbor
hood are looking forward 10 after the
Lenten period is the box social the band
boys have in preparation and guarantee
a jolly good time. Make it a point to
take IN the box social, Give the. band
boys a boost and you will find that Mt.
Carmel will make good with it's band,
Just the ame'as it does with everything
else it undertakes to do. Remember
that Monday, April 18th, is the date Of
the box social of the band boys.
There are many, especially among the
old time pioneers here, who will hear
with regret of the death at Edmonton
Alta. on Monday this week of Alex
Schwartz. Death is stated as being
due to Bright's disease, following an
illness of several months. Deceasedsi lis
