ZEKIEL VIEWING THE
The Christmas Tree, and entertain
ment which wus given at thu church, on
last Monuay evening, was a decided suc
cess. The program, was under the im
mediate supervision of Mrs. Dr. Phinney,
who also acted as prompter to the little
ones, and they did her credit. At the
right time "Old Santa" could be heard
in the distance, reindeers and bells, and
tbe sight of his famaliar face, made the
little folks smile. He came and distrib
uted presents right and left, forgetting
nor overlooking none. After which he
dissap-ared as quietly as be came, and
in the twinkling of an eye, all that could
be heard of him, was the faint sound of
tbe sledge bells. But in the short time
he was with them, the children asked
him as he passed and repassed thro the
jukI", "Santa are you coming to my
home tonight?. Tub singing by the
ure. Loads of baled hay looked so large
my curiosity led me to inquire how
many bales they hauled to a load nnd I
was informed forty (40 1 liave seen six
set of side boards on a wagon loaded
with cobs.
We came very near having a blizzard
yesterday and last night All it lacked
of bing perfect was the snow. The
wind'eame strong from the north west
and began sprinkling, soon turned to
enow, but the snow only lasted a short
time, supose Sioux Co. monopolized the
rest. We decided it seemed quite like
home and I have not felt so homesick
since.
We"wonner and wonner" as "Aunt
Samanthy's" Tommy does, who tbe wed
ding bells are going to ring for in Har
rison next. Your town out numoers

are many handsome marriageable maid
ens here, but I guess tbe young- men
liave "gone west" or to tiie war.
The college bell rang for fire this
morning and on looking out discovered
a fire at a near neighbors. Fortunate
for all concerned only the wash house
was burned, had the wind been in any
other direction a very destructive fire
would have followed, as the ranch is a
big one with many buildings. C.
