WE THANK you.

The revival meetings are now a mat
ter of history. We are proud of the
record that has been made. 1t is due
to the hearty and brotherly co-opera
tion of the churches that launched this
campaign. Here we have a visible
demonstration of the fact that Chris
tian people of different denominations
can work together in Christian fellow
ship if they desire to do so. In union
there is strength. That phrase applies
to churches as we'll as to states. But
such a condition is possible only where
there is common disposition to recog-
nize the rights of others. This, we
are happy to say, has been the under
lying motive in all our united activi-
ties, and this shall be our policy for
the future.
We wish to express our most hearty
appreciation to all outside the con-
fines of our own churches who helped
to make our meetings success. Par
ticularly do we have in mind the pas
tor and the members of the Christian
church, who closed their Sunday even
ing services in order to help out. We
also thank the PARENT Teachers Asso-
citation for their courtesy in postpon-
ing their monthly meeting one week
on our account. The courtesy of these
has contributed very
largely toward the creation of better
spirit among the people of this COM
munity. For all of which the public
will be duly grateful.

MRS. MEDvED SINGS FOR PAR
ENT-TEAcHERs.

| Those who attended the meeting
last night of the Nezperce Parent
Teachers Association proclaim it one
of the most entertaining and profit
able yet held. The attendance was not
as large as it should have been, but
all took good interest in the proceed
ings.
The meeting opened with the read
ing of the minutes of the preceding
session. Mrs. Norbert Medved then
sang "Carmena," and then "a
Dream" in answer to the continued
applause which her first fine effort
called forth and which carried with
it that subtle meaning of appreciation
that we cannot express in words
Those present who had not before had
the pleasure of hearing this lady sing
Joined those who had in high praise
of her unusual talent.
An article on higher education was
read by Mrs.. o. A. Roupe and her
comments on the same were compre-
hensive and practical. Her delivery
and reasoning made this number ex-
ceedingly pleasant to take. Supt.
Rantz talked briefly on school conduct
and the disposition of some pupils to
loiter about in the evenings after dis
missal; disposing of a question that
had been raised in this connection to
the satisfaction of his audience. Rev.
Sutton's deductions from am article
on the relation of the eighth grade to
the high school were put forth in a
way that "got home" and from this
and the points touched upon by Mrs.
Roupe a round table discussion arose
that brought the parents and schools
together in one of the most agreeable
and "now we understand" attitudes
we have had.
The next meeting will be held at
1880 p. m. on Wednesday, April 4.
Don't miss it.

Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Ledbetter left
Tuesday afternoon for their new home
at Ridgfield, Wn. On last Saturday
evening reception was given in their
honor at the Christian church in this
city, and many friends were present
to help make their farewell to their
old Nezperce home a pleasant one.
A program which included the read
ing of stories by Rev. w. It. Sutton
of the Christian church; singing by
Miss Florence Derr and Mrs. U. N.
Terry, was given. A luncheon of wa
fers and punch was served to the
large group present.
Mr.. Ledbetter is a pioneer citizen
of this place and his wife has been
with us since their marriage couple

DAN LAvERTY SHOOTS CALVERT
TwEgToN.

On last Sunday Dan Laverty, a vel
known resident of Pardee, shot ant
severely wounded Calvert Tweeton il
the leg. The shooting took place il
the yard of the Leverty home, and wa.
the result of alleged attention Twee
ton was trying to pay the others wife
Laverty gave himself up on Tues
day and was taken before Justice of
the Peace Mat. Shaw at Kooskia for
a preliminary hearing, which resulted
in Laverty's being bound over to the
district court at Grangeville in the
sum of $1,000. Arrangements were
being made today in the Kamiah sec.
tion to give the bond.
The evidence brought out at the
preliminary hearing was to the effect
that while Laverty was recently alb
sent from home, at work in the mines
in the Occur d'Alense, Tweeton, a
-ponderous man of 42 years, who was
working in the timber and lived in a
shack on the railroad right of-way at
the Tramway near Pardee, went to
the Laverty home and made immoral
proposals to Mrs. Laverty. She re-
monstrated and warned him off the
premises. When her husband returned,
Mrs. Laverty informed him of her ex-
perience and he told Tweeton to keep
away. On Sunday Tweeton approach
ed the Laverty home and Mrs Law
erty, who saw him coming went out
and told him to keep away and avoid
trouble. He did not heed, and Laver-
ty stepped from the house with gun,
and when the other man was some fif
teen PAGES distant fired in his direc
ton but missed him. The man com
tinued his approach and Laverty shot
him in the leg.
The wounded man testified that he
did go to the Laverty home in the
absence of Laverty, but was not driv-
en- away; and further that Laverty,
after his return, had told him to come
and get some clothing he had left
there, and that he was going after the
said clothes when the shooting took
place.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH AID.

Owing to other duties, the Ladies
Aid of the Christian church has been
a little dilatory in its report for the
last few weeks, but not because we
have not been doing things, for we
have. At special meeting at Mrs l..
J. Rowe s, held Feb. Is, a large crowd
was in attendance and an excellent
luncheon was served by Mrs Rowe
land daughters.
The next regular meeting at the
home of Mrs. Roy Thompson was a
busy one. Everyone had something to
do, and an excellent two-course lunch
con was served by the hostess. At this
meeting the Aid was divided into two
sides--'sThe Never Let Ups - and
the "Go Get Ems with Miss
Blanche Sweet and Mrs. N. B. Miller
leaders, and they are going some judg-
ing by the size of the crowd at tho
meeting at the home of Mrs. Myrtle
Moser, held yesterday afternoon.
Some new members were added and
much interest is being taken. Piecing
a quilt was the work for that day.
The Aid decided to do plain sewing by
the piece at very reasonable prices.
Call either leader if you wish sewing
done.
1t was decided not to have an Easter
bazaar this year on account of one
being prepared by the Methodist Ia
dies, but watch for dates of some en-
tertainment to be held in the near
future.
Anyone who wishes to attend the
Mothers and Daughters Banquet,
