Hurrah! We think we have this pretty straight. Division Superintendent Palmer does not hesitate to say it's a go; and surely heshould know. If this paper is mis TO Ml Gave a Splendid Entertainment to a Packed House on Thursday Evening, December 22. If the Miles hall at Darby ever held a larger crowd than was packed into it a week ago last night then the place must have had rubber walls. The entertainment given by the school children of Darby and vicinity proved as great an attraction to the people there as a merry-go-round to a Hamilton crowd.

The splendid audience, the enthusiastic approval and the really excellent T. R. McMurray Though Adjudged Insane Gives Sheriff Pond Ta Ta and Has the Officers Guessing.

J. Patty, as well as the sheriff, and the two of them managed to get him as far as Missoula, but no farther. And what happened to him? Aye, that's the rub.

BANK JEWELER AND OPTICIAN program given by the children must have made glad the hearts of the two teachers, Miss Anna Sedgwick and Miss Marie Richards, who had labored with untiring zeal to make the entertainment a success. W. H. McCoy assisted the teachers and announced the various numbers. But the school children were hardly the whole show.

William Gorham was dragged from a position of retirement in the audience, and electrified the crowd with a song that won the active approval of many a hand. Clayton Siria gave a reading from "The Hoosier Schoolmaster," impersonating the Hardshell Baptist preacher to perfection and carrying his audience back to Hooppole township, Posey county, Indiana. The program given by. the school children follows: Song Christinas Welcome Recitation The Telephone Message Dialogue The Mice at Play Recitation Johnny's History Lesson Song The Gypsy Girls Dialogue Had Habit Cured Song Old Santa Claus Recitation How We Spent Christmus Song Baby Bye Recitation College Oil Cuns Recitation My Sister's Best Fellow Recitation Tho Twelve Months Dialogue Telling Secrets Song Tiny Little Snowflakes Recitation Old Black Jim Recitation Tommy's Wish at Christmas UNION SERVICES NEXT WEEK The Clergymen of Hamilton Will Unite in Observing the Week of Prayer a't the Presbyterian Church.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Cook on Christ mas evening received a ten pound boy, of whom they and tho family are duly proud. Mr. and Mrs.

Sam Lowman rejoiced over the arrival of a daughter Christmas day. Mae and Orland Tabor went to Mis soula last Saturduy to upend the holidays with friends. Gordon Stuart came up Saturday to spend tho holidays with Como friends. Rev. Kneeland filled bis appointment Sunday afternoon, but it seems that the people were so occupied with Christmas festivites that they neglected to attend to spiritual duties, and a very amall audience was present.

Rev. J. A. Meek has been holding services this week with an attendance much less than his earnestness and thoulfulness deserve. Coughing Spell Caused Dentil.

The change will be a welcome one to the neocle of the Bitter Root valley. As i the passenger train from the east is due to reach Missoula at 3:10 o'clock the Bitter Root passenger will very seldom be late, for there will be nothing to hold it; for, mark you, the west bound pas senger can be nearly two hours late and the Bitter Root passenger still make connection with it and leave Missoul on time. The change will be welcomed by every trainman on the branch; by every agent and operator on the branch by every transfer man in the Bitter Root valley by every hotel man; by every one who travels; by every one who gets mail any where in the valley, it will increase travel; it will make business ginger up it will widen and brighten every face in the Bitter Root valley with the smile that won't come off.
