Chas. Linden, near the butte. Rev. A.
l.. Young of Sanger, Calf, uncle of
the groom, read the sacred service
which united the lives of Henry Nor
wood and Miss Florence Martin of
Emmett. The young couple took the
vows in the presence of the immedi-
ate relatives. The groom is pros
porous young farmer of our commun-
ity and as he expects soon to be
called into his country's service, they
will make their home for the present
with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. L..
Norwood.
On Monday evening about forty

wood home to tender their best wishes
to Mr. and Mrs. Henry Norwood. The
occasion was greatly enjoyed by all
present.

LETHA
BY Mrs. A. e. Pomeroy

Another good attendance was the
record last Sunday morning at the
Baptist church. There were four good
classes in the Sunday school.
Monday was the annual election of
trustees for the district. This year
movement was put on foot by those
living near Letha to have new
schoolhouse in the town. A number of
people living in adjacent districts, but
located far from their schools, are
anxious to be admitted into our dis
trict. These phases were discussed at
the election, some favoring the Great
ing of three districts out of ours and
part of others. No voting could be
done on the question, as it will have
to be done in the form of petition.
In case of three districts new school
house in Letha would provide fine
solution for those located at this end
of the present district. The election
of the board of trustees resulted in
the choice of Mrs. Henry Riggs, r. l..
Battan and c. A. Robinson, the first
named being chosen as clerk.
Rev. j. F. Lanman drove up on Mon
day prepared for farming.
On Monday night a good crowd was
out for the patriotic meeting. The
singing of America by the
audience opened the exercises. E. X.
Hayes and V. T. Craig of Emmett
spoke on the various business phases
Of the war question and especially on
the Third Liberty loan. Both gentle
men earned the appreciation and graf
tude of the audience for coming down
rom Emmett and helping in our meet
ng. The Pomeroy sisters sang two
luets and Rev. j. f. Lanman rounded
tut with a stirring patriotic appeal
md address. The patrons of the
school and our visitors were disap-
pointed that the school children were
ienied both having the pleasure and
irving the pleasure of their singing
he patriotic songs learned at school.

Much false, unfounded and petty
criticism of the action of the Local
Board of Gem county, has reached us
of late in the form of echoes. The
records of the board are open to in
spection at all reasonable office hours
and all persons are respectfully re-
quested to examine the same and to
learn what has been done in any parti-
cular case and also WHO did it, be-
fore any complaint is made or howl
begun.
We are but human and doubtless
some mistakes have been made, posi-
bly, some mistakes have been made for
which we are in no way responsible;
possibly certain alleged mistakes were
never made.
