Bill Johnson, John Massey, Earl
Thomas and Ed. Rivi Drove down
from Parco Saturday night in John
sons car. On the hill near the light
ed landing field the car struck a rut,
skidded and one of the wheels came
off and the ear turned over in the
ditch. None Of the occupants were
seriously injured, tho they were all
pinned under the car and were OBJ
Iiged to e the back out of the CIV
in order to get out. One of the boys
came in to Hanna with a passing
motorist, obtained the necessary
parts and vent back where they fixed
the car and drove 1t on into town.
This is the fourth time that John
Massey has experienced the thrill of
turning over, and on no occasion has
he been seriously injured.
The assembly room at the high
school was filled to Overlooking Fri
day evening when the senior class
put on their class entertainment.
The High School orchestra opened
the program with a splendid overa-
ture Among the pleasing numbers
or the program were readings by
Mrs. Schneider and John Rodda, cor
net solo by Charles Steiner, vocal
numbers by both girls and boys glee
clubs and a clever dialogue by the
members of the class. This was the
first time thai Mrs. Schneider has
given n reading in Hanna, and her
well chosen number was especially
well given and her audience was de-
lighted.
The Union Pacific Store has put
on it's holiday attire already. Gay
streamers of green and red are fes-
sooned over the tables ON the dry
goods side and all kinds of toys.
dolls and appropriate Christmas
gifts are most attractively display
ed. 1t seems rather a shock to have
Christmas thrust at you before you
have your Thanksgiving dinner fully
planned, but we will have to take
it as a gentle hint thai it is wise to
do our Christmas shopping early.
Why can't we have better mail
service in Hanna? Unless we get
mail into the Post Office before
six O'Clock in the evening they lay
i've unit the next evening to go out.
No. 4 CARRIES mail, but no mail clerk,
and all mail goes as far as Cheyenne
as baggage, and is distributed from
Cheyenne, so any mail to Medicine
Bow, Rock River. Laramie. ETC., must

No. s Is the only east bound train
that carries local mail. All the west
bound mail goes out within an hour
OF the same time. Nos. 3 and 10
being the trains to carry dt. No. 26
has a mail car but will not take mail
from Hanna. Why not? II stops
here for coal and water. 1t is bad
enough to have to worry about pass
enger trains. but to have the mail
trains pass US up too is most in
convenient.
