Decoration Day was observed at Plain
View Baptist church with an appropri
ate program apG many and beautiful
were the floral offerings that covered
the silent homes of the dead. The
children did their parts in the program
in manner that reflected credit on
both themselves and their instructors,
and the Sophia band dispensed some
fine music throughout the day. MI
Shirley, of LaKemp, gave nice little
talk and last but not least was the
bountiful dinner spread at noon in
helping to make the day pleasant
success and all felt better for having
been participant therein
Mrs. Jackson and family started on
their contemplated trip Tuesday. W.
hope they will meet with all kinds OF
success in their new home no matter
where their lot may be cast.

years
Misses Bertha Adams and Tenne
Fitzpatrick were home for Decoration
Day. They liked their school life in
Beaver quite well, Both girls looked
as il they received good care at the

The ladies OF the Mothers Club had
quite nice little crowd in attendance
at their Oyster Supper Saturday night
who did full justice to the refresh

order of the evening.
Little Leonard Henson while run
ming in play Saturday night with some
other little boys ran accidently into a
barb wire fence and received quite an
ugly cash beneath his right eye. 1t
was lucky that it was not an inch high
er, in which case IL would have torn
the eyebal badly and perhaps ruined
the sight. Nothing is ever so bad that
it might not have been worse, al
though this deplorable accident was
bad enough. Hope he will soon re-
cover.
Little Ruth Messiner while in the
act of removinga spring seat from the
wagon last Wednesday slipped and fell
and the seat fell upon her in such a
manner as to break her arm, which is
doing nicely under the care of DR..

Harvest is crowding along on the

outfits in radius of five miles either
way from LaKemp, We have more

broomeorn pulling this fall work will
be in demand and wages out Of sight.
