RIFLE SHOTS

i Another pig mass meeting was neiu
at the Rex theater Sunday night and
again the seating capacity was taxed.
And all enjoyed the music the sermon
by Rev. Martin of the Christian church
and the get-togetherness Of all the
churches. Short talks were made By
Rev. Hutchins of the Methodist church
and Rev Fowler of the Presbyterian
church. Each church was well repre-
scntcd.
Miss Pearl Flint has been unable to
attend school on account Of trouble
4 with her ear.
Despite the downpour of rain last
Friday large crowd was out to the
community dinner at the Rex theater.
Two long tables on which was every
eatable one could think Of, were placed
for the crowd to serve themselves caf-
etria style and sort Of comrade-like
feeling prevailed, each ore present as
sisting the other to have a good dinner
aud a good time. Chief Justice White
was present and gave an excellent talk
4 and the big audience listened intently
from about two until 'clock to him
as well as other speakers.
The rain storm the first of the week
brought up Rifle creek and Tuesday
night some of the abutment to the
bridge across Main street washed out
and the overflow of water extended to
the west end of the depot.
| w. NJ. Warmbrodt has been one of the
victims of measles lately.
Mrs. H. II. Childs spent Tuesday in
Glenwood on business.
The grand military ball given last
Friday night by the Home Guards was
certainly big affaif in more ways
than one. The blizzard never bothered
anyone-everyone came. The Rex was
artistically decorated with flags and
bunting galore and in front or the
stage "Co. G." in an electrical effect
greeted the dancers as they arrived.
Guards were on duty at the main ell,
trance and in the balcony and the uni
forms worn by the guards made this
brilliant affair look even more i'm
pressive. Musicians from Grand juno
ton and Glenwood assisted the local
musicians and never has there been
time when all seemed to enjoy them.
