Play and Dance Melted $50.

In spite of treacherous and unpleasant
travelling good sized audience attended
and thoroughly enjoyed the presentation OF
the two-act drama, Among the Breakers,
Friday evening. Although the play is an
old one the plot is exceptionally good and
the drama is always a favorite. The char
acters were all finely enacted, the part Of
David Murray, the lighthouse keeper, taken
by F H. Lawrence, being especially deserv-
ing of praise Refreshments were served
after the entertainment and about 40 cou-
pies joined in dancing until a. m. About
$50 was Melted from the evening.
There is much talk of repeating this play
in about month, as so many from out OF
town were unable to be present on account
of the condition of the roads.

Dear Sir

ing the account Of the sheriff s seizure
IN Tuesday S Reformer, and if l am
not mistaken it will turn out to be one
Of the best seizures he has made, and
that Col. Haskins was the best Judge
there was. We had quite an expert
ence some two years ago with an Ita-
ian. He used the small walls himself
to manufacture the stuff and they said
he made between $4,000 and $4,000
and got away with it. 1t was the
worst stuff ever sold in the valley. 1t
knocked people ont for fair and they
would lie PROSTATE for hours at a
time, and many of Us think it was re-
sponsible for the disappearance of the
Nottingham mill1man for so long. If
