safe journey and that the vacation
may be of much benefit to them.
The Easter services at the NJ. E.
church last Sunday evening were well
attended and were very much en-
joyed by the attentive audience. Spec.
la music had been prepared and the
singing by the regular choir, as well
as by the children's chorus choir OF
about twenty voices, is worthy of spec
ial mention. A duet sung by Misses
Genevieve Dow and Helen Swasey
was a special number and was much
given we'll. Taken altogether, it was
a fine program and we'll worth any
ones time and effort to attend.
Mesdames ButterWorth, w. e. Dow,
|Swasey, Wilder and Misses Ellen God
dard and Lulu Howorth went to Arion
last Wednesday afternoon to surprise

the exception of the bayous, which OF
course remain full, the river is con-
fined to it's banks and the proper chan.
mel. The heavy flow of water under.

til they caved off badly, thus widening
the ditch considerably.
John Weber's family, who live five
miles north of town, are just over the
ldiphtheria, the fumigation taking place
last Friday. On this day the family

The little four-year-old daughter,
1nez, fell in a peculiar manner dis
locating her hip. A physician was i'm
mediately summoned and set the

j.. H. Pearsall, having resigned the
Office of marshal and no one has been
found who will accept the appoint

Last Friday afternoon from to 6
Miss Nell Mendonsa entertained her
Sunday school class at the home of
Mrs. Mary McHenry. Eighteen were
present and right merry time was
had Games furnished the afternoons
entertainment. Each one present
was requested to write personal
description, Miss Grace winning the
prize, pretty initial tie, for writing
the best one. Dainty refreshments
were served.
The Dow City Dramatic company
put Ou llcII pay, OAuc1 <AlALOAo
Skies" last Friday night, and it was
witnessed by crowded house, even
standing room being at a premium. All
the parts were we'll taken and each
did exceedingly we'll, but Leo Ahart
in the part of "Machipoulis, the In.
dian,' stands, by universal opinion, at
the head of the line. The storm, com.
posed of hundred, lightning and rain,
was very real and cleverly handled.
Many have pronounced this as the
best of the plays this winter. The
company disbands for the present, but
will undoubtedly reorganize next sea-
son. They certainly deserve the
good will of the people of the COM
munity for furnishing such high
grade entertainment at such slight
cost.

Daniel. visited from Friday until Mon
day at the Isaac Howorth home in
Goodrich township.
