The comedy Deacon Dubbs"
which was presented here before
Christmas by the teachers and pupils
of the graded school was by request
reproduced last Saturday night and
| almost everyone who attended the
| first exhibition were present eager to
see it again. We have attended some
fine plays but never in our life one
more entertaining, keeping up a live

the entire performance. Tom HAYS

was perfect as it required much skill.

Few would have recognized either
looks or voice. Miss Ellen Moore, as
school ma'am and as bride could
not have done better and both she
and Montez Fish had most difficult
tragic scenes to produce which they

Miss Philipena Popover was admira-

who displayed her devotion to the
deacon in the most laughable WAYS.
Miss Philipena herself could not have

simply was perfect. We feel that too
much cannot be said in regard to
these school plays which have been
given from time to time by the tea
cheers and pupils of our school here
and the proceeds have been used to
add comfort and necessary articles
to the school building. Neither the
teachers nor the pupils use any of the
money earned. A piano which was
greatly needed and chairs and other
expenses have been paid for in this
way and instead of complaining the
town should patronize and COOP crate

to help the school to higher stand
