GHOST VISITS OLD HAUNTS
IN CARSON CITY

Seventeen years ago VIM. Owsley
was the proprietor of a saloon in the
building now occupied by the Kitz-
meyer Drug Store. Years ago he
was gathered to that silent land from
which no traveller ere returns and
the sign on the window was erased.
Many changes have taken place in
the building in those seventeen years
and numbers of persons have con-
Quoted tsores in the building and on
The windows have been painted many
names.
Yesterday morning was the cold.
cst of the season and for some rea-
son VIM. Owsley saw fit to return
and visit the old business house and
with the aid of Jack Frost painted
again his sign upon the window.
Yesterday morning the old timers
we're surprised when passing the
iStzmeyer store to read the sign
traced with phantom hand upon
the window pane in big block letters
WIN. Owsley". Soon many gather
cd to talk over the matter and more
than one believes today that William
came back to visit the city once
again on Sunday night.
Others claim that the severe frost
Lad covered the pane with a coating
tf white except the spot where the
rame was printed long ago and that
tnis spot was protected from the
ftost by something which was either
IN the paint or used to remove the
raint.
At any rate VIM. Owsley was re.
membered again yesterday and many
tories we're told of him and his do.
ings in the days of long ago.

JARBIDGE PLUMBERS

The recount of votes in the Booher-

Winter received vote. II each To-

Detention house. jails and courts
no longer have any place among

The people are more modest and

were closed, Russia had awaken
ed as from a bad dream. 1t had
q greater effect that the emanci-

Card Playing
at Pool Halls,

There is a movement in our
settlement to have the Village
Board repeal the ordinance pro-
hibiting Card Playing in Pool
Halls or public places and petit
ions are out which will be pres
ented to the Board. Another
petition is also being circulated
to ask the Board not to repeal
this ordinance and TO have the
Pool Halls close at 10 O'Clock at
night, instead of u AS heretofore.
We trust that the Village Board
will not repeal this ordinance,
and willno allow this card play
ing in the Pool Halls in Oakley.
The sentiment of the Oakley
people is against this repeal and
it is up to every parent to sign
the petition against playing cards
and other games Otchance, Gam
bling is but one result. of card
playing. There is no such thing
as innocent card playing, as we
believe nine cases out of ten result
in gambling.
Our community has been free
from this vice for some time past
and we do not want to go back
to the old time conditions, but
want to grow and progress and
clean out OF our city such things
that are detrimental to our
children and the community.
Parents Wake Up! and enter
your protest against the repeal
OF the present ordinance.

Miss Clara Tuttle is planning
a Christmas tree for her grade
and as a preliminary work is this
week telling the little tones the
story of Christ child and show.
ing them picturesto help them
understand His Life onearth and
the country where he was born.
The children will trim the tree
themselves, getting IA lot OF man
ual training in an easy way,
while the children who come in
the forenoon will make gifts for
those coming in the afternoon
and vice versa, teaching them the
JOY OF giving.
Miss Ramsey is also expecting
to have tree but plans are not
completed. The Forest Service
furnished the trees. it being the
custom to supply churches and
schools free of charge.
In addition toreeular work the
children of Miss Langlois' room
are making some very pretty
booklets, which will be sent to
city hospitals at Christmas time.
