POOL POPULAR.

Cottonwood's swimming pool
has been exceedingly popular
the past week, a large number of
the young boys about the town
making use of the same by TAX
ing daily plunges. A number of
the older folks have also taken
advantage of the same. The
water, while only about four
feet deep in the pool appears to
satisfy the desire for which it
was built.

year, the basketball team was taken
over by Rev. William Campbell, who
was assigned as Moderator of sports

moval of Father Quinn from this
city. He also continued the fine
record for the local five.
Last year things were not so good
and the representative team won but
few games. Tonight will be h start

will be made by Coach Eppinger
and Rev. Campbell to place a team
on the court that will surpass the
records of the two first teams to
represent the local high school.
