CHILDREN'S DAY EXERCISES.
Children's Day exercises were
held at the Baptist church last Sun
day evening-, and were of an exceed
ingly interesting- and appropriate
character, thus evincing- much
laborious care and pains-taking
preparation on the part of all who
aided in getting- up the entertain
ment. The church was appropriately
and handsomely dressed in flowers
and evergreens, while a running
fountain gave a refreshing- appear
ance to the scene. Several canary
birds in cag-es chirped sweetly during-
the exercises.
The first item on the programme
was a march by the children of the
Sunday school in which they kept
time to the music of the beautiful
song-, "Merrily Marching- on."
The Fountain of Life," an
emblematic piece, in which Miss
Kirby and several other young- lad
ies acquitted themselves well, is
deserving- of special mention.
But perhaps the most unique and
the cutest part rendered during- the
evening- was the "Song- of two little
Wrens," sung by Miss Virg-inia
Bateman and Lannie Graves who
were dressed to represent the two
little birdies.
The entire programme was rend
ered without a break, to the evident
delight of the large audience that
crowded the house to the doors,and
reflected much credit upon all who
took part. The ladies of the Bap
tist church deserve much praise for
the success of the entertainment
which we are informed is due, in
part, to the valuable assistance
rendered by Mrs. W. Grafton Bate
man, of Washington. D. C. who is
on a visit to the family of Kev. A.
W. Graves.
An anthem at the close of the
exercises sung- by a special quartet
composed of Dr. Warner and Geo.
Dowlin, and Mrs. V. L. Park and
Mrs. Bateman was highly appre
ciated by the audience as evidenced
by the hearty applause which fol
Dr. Salisbury, the Ogalalla
dentist, is in town this week.
A very "-destructive hail storm
passed over the southern portion of
Dawson county last week. .
A boy baby was born to Mr.
and Mrs. II. Polmier, of the Third
ward, the latter part of the week.
Lexington has organized a ball
team and will probably make ar
rangements to play a series of
games with the club of this city.
L. O. T. M. The members of the
L. O. T. M. lodge are earnestly le
quested to meet at their hall next
Saturda- afternoon. July 20th, at
the usual hour, for the purpose ol
practice drill, and such other busi
ness as may properly come before
the meeting. By order of
Lady Commander.
The man who stuck up his
nose at mention of irrigation a few
weeks ago is now pulling- down his
proboscis as he contemplates his
parching garden patch. A good
windmill and reservoir alongside
five acres of level ground is a more
valuable piece of property than a
hundred acres of weedy corn, and it
is something' within the eas" reach
of every farmer in this valley.
Callaway Courier.
The invitation extended by
Secy Iloilingsworth elsewhere in
these columns should be universally
accepted b- our citizen. There is
evidence that the people of the city
do not fully appreciate the good
work the V. M. C. A. has performed
in this city during-. the past. Your
presence next Friday evening will
serve to encourajre Mr. Hollinirs-
worth and his co-workers.
"An Anxious Inquirer' wishes
to know what has became of the
High School Cadets?" This tor
rid weather appears to have had an
enervating effect upon the organi
zation, and it seems to have fallen
into a state ot "innocuous desue
tude." Or perhaps the members
have been too busy utilizing their
new uniforms for bathing costumes
to care anything about the anxiety
of the public as to their welfare.

GUN CLUB SHOOT.
The initial shoot of the North
Platte Gun Club was held at what
is to be sportsmen's park Satur-daj-
afternoon. TJlne rock shooting
was, to nearly all the members,
something new and the score, which
is appended below does not show
up very well for a majority of the
boys. Contests will he held on
Saturday afternoon of each week,
and all members of the club are re
quested to be present and take part.
A gold medal will be provided, and
to the one making the best score at
each weekly meeting will it be
awarded. This means that the
medal will not likely be held very
long by airy particular member.
