JUNIORS MAKING LIFE sE
MISERABLE FOR SENIORS.

Early risers this friday morning
were startled to see black flag float
ing from the pole in the city park, 1t
at first appeared as though the Soviets
had taken the town. Closer observa-
ton however disclosed that the black
cloth was in reality the flag Of the
senior class of the Welsh High School.
This was Senior Day, and the senior
class had thrown a note of defiance
at the erstwhile juniors. Evil thoughts
were born in the breasts of the juniors
and clash of classes promised to be
the early morning happening.
tt being press day and all the force
busy the Journal was not able to keep
tab on events, but sore limbs and black
eyes are being nursed, and the Ameri-
can flag and the flag of the junior class
tops the pole in the park, so we are
forced to the conclusion that the jun.
iors are the victOrs and that the i'm
mortal 1920's have been vanquished,
There is further a rumor in the
atmosphere that the principal and the
teachers are not entirely satisfied with
the goings on in general, and that
there may be a hereafter for the NOR
tai both classes.

Fenton La, Mar. "a, 1920.
A very sad accident occurred Satur
day, March GOTH, at the Mclaughlin
home. Mr. Paul Hebert's two little
boys, aged about three and six years,
were playing in the yard where there
was an old we'll that had caved in
leaving pool of water three or four
feet deep. 1t appears from the older
boys account that the little boy went
to the old well with bottle to catch
some water to play with. While in the
act of filling the bottle with water the
little fellow lost his balance and fell
in the water He was drowned in a
few seconds.
The older boy brought the sad news
to the mother, Mrs. Hebert being in
the house with Miss Opel st. Clair,
day. He reports much sickness and
some deaths in and around Basile.
The wedding bells are ringing
around Fenton, in the tone of two
bells. The writer expects to be able
to call some bridal names in the next
issue.
Sunday, March 21st was organizing
day at Fenton. A base ball nine was
organized on the temporary diamond.
Next Sunday the boys of Fenton will
cross bats with Woodlawn. The last
Sundays game was very exciting, as
the diamond was covered with balls,
shouts, yells and fowls, and the game
ended with a score of five for the
Fentonites and two for the amateurs
The Fenton team will be the P. Fl

the following boys: Nealy Peloquin
manager; Henry Peloquin, Dupra
Humphrey, J. C. Singleton, Edmond

Joe Bushnell, Cap. Granger, Arnold

Mr.. PerrOdin PeloQuin of Lake Ar

They rushed to the scene only to fine
that the baby had sunk for the las

Messrs. Harold Miller and G. Nc
Laughlin being the first to arrive OF

Iwell and found the child lying on tn,
bottom, the water being only wais
deep. All efforts to bring the chilli
back to life were without success

We loved him ah! perhaps too well.

For the one we loved so dearly has
