The report of the committee on get— ting the programs was accepted and Mabel Brown, Currie Unstott, Mrs. J. M. Steurns, appointed the committee to curry it out. The music is to be in the hands of the choir, so while Mrs. Brown is hustling around to get the singers to practice please remember and tell your troubles to a policeman, as she has troubles of her own.

The leaders from Jan. lst to July« 1st 1899 have been selected, their names are in the hands of the proper officer and will receive notification in due time. What’s the matter with the lirstVice- President? He’s all right! The President requested the Cabinet to meet with him after the devotional meeting of the League for a few min- utes. After the janitor had waited an hour, he became disgusted and went home, as the discussion was continuous and animated. Those of the Cabinet who were present were; l’rof. G. W. Carper Pres, A. H.

()nstott and Blackledge. Sup» per was served and the crowd broke away about 12:30. A royal time, though hardly a “hot” time was report- ed by all present. The continued cold weather and snow squalls interfere with corn huskers, many/predicting that much corn will remain ungathered. Such a condition will be favorable to the rabbit crop. Mr. Geo. Carpet and Miss Georgia lioxwell have both been tea-elected for the coming school teachers until fall. Their good work,need not be mentioned. The Garrison and Ormsby buildings are in rapid progress.

To say that. the Springville people are pleased with the new street lights would hardly do them justice. They were turned on for the first'time Satur» day night, and we have yet to hear the first. criticism. The contrast is So great ovor the old oil lamps and the fact. that the present lights cost but little more than the old ones, makes effective crit- icism impossible. There are now but few dark pockets upon our streets. One can see the time on a. watch (ll; almost any point on any street. With water- works, slectric lights, new business blocks and increasing business, Spring- villc people havo no occasion to feel discouraged. Every indication leads us to believe that 1899 will be our ban- ner year both in material improvement and in volume of business—New Era, * * The foxy foot racer known as “ltocksey” and the pride of the sport- ing element at the capital of Cedar county who “was agparentlv well sup- plied with money, ressed well, talked very little, behaved himself and attract- ed little attention” finally weut “up against it” and is causing his friends and backers all kinds of trouble and ex— pense.
