"A Prairie Rose, four-act comedy
drama was presented by local talent
before large audience in the School
Auditorium on Friday evening, the en-
tertainment proving highly successful,
financially and otherwise. The charac-
ters as they We're represented and the
parts as individually presented in the
cast, reflected much credit to the man
agement and the players alike, and
there was not the least doubt as to
whether the drama met the hearty ap-
proval of the audience or not the af-
fair being real treat to all in attend
ance.
A case of sleeping sickness the first
of the kind ever known in this part of
the State, was developed near Fields
boro about four weeks ago, the victim
of the peculiar malady being Mary, the
seven-year old daughter of Alvan At
well. The little girl is still in serious
condition, but she shows some improve
ment since the time she was first
stricken. The odd afflicton while obsti-
nate and battling, is under the observa-
tion and attention of the skilled medi-
cal fraternity and the physician in
charge of the case is hopeful of the
child's ultimate recovery.
A skim of ice formed over shallow
pools on Monday night throughout this
section but the temperature rose sew
eral degrees the following day and the
fruit growers do not believe that any
serious damage has been done to the
trees most of which are stillsdormant.
Buds of plum trees which are advanced
most are showing no signs of frost
damage. Orchard owners say that the
cool weather viii have the desired effect
of holding the trees back so that they
are not likely to be in full bloom before
the middle of April, when it is expected
that all dangers of cold snaps and late
frosts will be past.
