MORELAND

| Work is soon to commence on the
road which is to be opened up from
the corner by Mr.. Parks place to the
Riverside road. Last Monday the
protest against opening this road was
heard by the commissioners and the
petition was denied. Now that all
obstacles have been brushed aside
work will soon begin and Moreland
will at last have a hard surfaced road
leading to the center of the town and
making facilities for shipping by rail
good. Let us now insist upon an
agent that we can have credit for
the produce shipped from here. An
elevator and mill to handle and util-
ize the grain crop would put us on
the map.
The usual l.. D. S. meetings were
not held Sunday because of quarterly
conference at Blackfoot. A large
number of people from here attended
and all pronounced it the best they
ever attended. At the M. 1. A. meet
ing at night Mesdames ordan Wray,
Fyans and Bartlett rendered a
quartet, Vivian Hage gave an excel
lent ten minute talk on scoutcraft
and the Bee Hive girls gave an ex-
hibitiOn of bandaging.
Last Saturday Ed Benson pun
chased an up-to-date Ford car.
Friday afternoon the Aberdeen
base ball team will play our boys
here. Our team was victorious when
they went to Aberdeen and the boys
from the southern metropolis are
coming here for revenge. This will
make the game good one. Further
more our boys need financial support.
We have good team which helps to
advertise our town. Let's be there
en- masse.
The dance last Friday night was
we'll attended and the floor manager
is to be congratulated on the stand
he took against improper dancing.
We hope he will continue this at
titude. The best element of the COM
munity will support him in making |
those who insist upon unbecoming |
movements realize that they must go |
elsewhere to carry out their desires.
