Previous reports as to the excellent
ness of the High School dramatic play,
"All of a Sudden Peggy" were borne
out last night, when the play was pre-
scented to a record size crowd in the
Normal Auditorium. The crowd was
one of the largest that has been in the
auditorium this year. All partici-
pants in the play did themselves grand
in their own respective parts. We are
not going to enumerate any certain
actor or actress and praise the work
did by him or her, because we would
not know which one to take. It was
play we'll worth seeing and when
presented by a crowd of young folks
that handled their parts as they did
last night, it was made especially in
teresting. Congratulations are ex-
tended to those who had charge of
putting the performance on for the
successful manner in which everything
was carried out.

The Congregational church roof
caught fire Sunday along about 1870
a. M just while Rev. Shibli was
preaching his sermon. The fire was
discovered but the alarm was not turn
ed in until the gentleman had closed
his sermon which he had about COM
pleted when the fire was discovered.
The fire department had some trouble
with frozen hydrant but with the
use of the chemicals held the fire in
check until a transfer to another
hydrant could be made. The damage
was not very large and is covered by
insurance. It is thought THAT sparks
from soft coal had lodged on the roof
near the chimney and had ignited the
shingles or something of that kind
that is about the only solution that
can be arrived at.
