The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1914-03-19

Invitations are sent out for birth
day party to be given Friday night by
Master Carleton Fletcher, at his home
here in Richfeld
Some of the enthusiastic Irishmen
who were born in Missouri, or Hoboken,
or in Posey County Indeanny, enlivened
the town with lot Of green paint,
Sunday night, commemorative of st.
Patrick's day.
The Recorder has nice flock of fine
but all too frisky Plymouth Rock chick
ems, that are little too high-lived to
make good town citizens. Would trade
them for eggs or butter, to be deliy-
cred through the summer.
C. S. Spence, of Salt Lake, who
bought the Henderson farm northwest
of town, and moved his family on to the
place about month ago, was visitor
to the Recorder office this week. He is
highly pleased with the farm and the
country, and is an energetic progressive
citizen who is real benefit to any com
munity
School has been late in opening of
mornings this week, because the bad
roads made it impossible for the wagons
from the country to get in in time for
opening at the regular hour. Immedi
ately around town, the highways are
dry and all but dusty; but within a mile
or two north, there is still some snow,
and on the north side of the tract there
is between one and two feet of snow. \
Mrs. Susie Sandusky, of Lexington,
Kentucky, is visiting this week with
the Recorder family. She is an extern
sive traveller, having visited all through
Europe and all over the United States.
She has magnificent bluegrass stock
farm near Lexington, which is such
wonderful contrast to the average Idaho
landscape to be worthy of mention.
Mrs. Sandusky nay remain some time
in the West-even make her home
somewhere this side Of the mountains
Marshal Poteet has team and
road drag, out on the street this week,
and has put Main street into apple-pie
condition for spring The highway com
missioners expect to have teams out on
the country roads within the next few
days, as soon as the roads are dry
enough so that the work will be most I
effective. 1t is the plan to drag and re-
surface the roads so that the spring
travel will work them down smooth and
hard, and leave them so that they will
not cut up under the summer service.
The young ladies' class of the Sunday
School---Mrs. Wright's class---gave a
most enjoyable 'taffy-pull' at the church
basement, Tuesday night. A lot of
very interesting games were introduced
and coffee and pie was served as re-
freshments besides all the taffy any
one cared to pull and eat for the whole
evening. The girls displayed a most
industry and ability in
carrying out the program and furnish
ing good time for everybody
There is practically not a particle of
snow left in or Immediately around
Richfeld, though there is still close to
two feet up at the far north end of the
tract, on the north slope of the hills.
There has been very little run-off so
far, and there will be even less later,
as the ground is taking in all the water
as fast as it melts. The ground has
hardly frozen at all this winter; in
many places there was not an inch of
'rost
