The custom of publishing a 'card of thanks" for the kindness shown to a family upon ihc death of a member is no longer considered in good taste. and for excellent reasons.

The program consists mainly of plantation songs and melo dies, interspersed oecasiouly with laughable farces.

Little Roy Kennedy, aged seven, while playing near Mr. Rarkley's resi dence on Saturday fell through the ice in Crooked creek, and almost drewned before help arrived. During the freshet last spring, the water washed out a deep hole at that point in the creek, and the ice being comparatively thin the little fellow fell through. He was playing with some other little children at the time, who quickly gave the alarm but not until the little chap had gone down twice. As he was going down the last time one of Mr. Rarkley's boys had an ice hook and finally pulled him out. By that time aid had ar rived and the boy was resuscitated by hard work. It was an awful close call for little Roy. On last Sunday, two of our prom inent young men, accompanied by their best girls, went out buegy rid ing, and when just across the river one of them threw out a lighted cigar thinking it harmless, but after a ride further on of two miles one of them glanced around and saw the prairie oa fire. Hurrying back they found it in bad shape and for two hours they worked like slaves fighting the flames to keep them from burning down houses on the farm. It was lots of fun for the girls but the boys thought it was the hardest luck going buggy riding that they had ever indulged in We would advise the smaller of the two to be careful of his stubs when buggy riding or pay less attention to his Vest girl next itme. The "Peal Sisters" a home talent company, held the boards at the opera house on Tuesday evening to a large crowd of our citizens. The entertain ment was fin:, and highly appreciated by the talented audience. There was much merit displayed by the noble band of Alaskans and we thing by proper training they will become notfd. The entertainment was one that will be long remembered in Red Cloud as both pleasing and decidedly comical in every particular. The songs were calculated to keep the au dience in an uproar alt the time, and the numerous encores went to show that tho entertainment was acceptable. The following ladies took part in the entertainment: The Misses Mary Miner. Loua Bellows, Rose Emigh. Nellie Adleshicm.Mollic Ferris, Lavil la Marsh, Wills Cathcr.Bess Seymour, and Mcsdames Aason Higby, M. A. Metzccrand Mrs. J. F. Curran. This town was trcateu to a great show Saturday and Monday nights, January 19th and 21st. The Nichols family, consisting of Prof. Noehols, wife, daughter and Mis Nellie Walker, gave a fine entertainment roasistiag of songs, dances, negro specialities, and such plavh as befits the slave of long ago. Prof. Nichals is a whole exreas and it is well worth a nersoii time to hear him. The hall wae crowded standing room was at a pre mium and uhe whole company were is a roar irom Decinmug to cno.

George Wash ington and lady, in the persons of Harry Falkenburg and Mitts Carrie Brown was up to the standard, and in fact the entire entertainment was first-class and reflects credit on the ladies in charge. Among the curi osities on exihibition was a copy of the Peking (China) Gaiette, the old est paper in the world, the property of Mrs. Dr. Deaney, also a piece of the Chinese wall, over 2000 years old, several heir-looms handed down for centuries among which was a mor tar belonging to Mrs. Brakefield that scored over 200 years, etc. Tni Cnur was well pleased with the en tertainment althrougfa, and especially with the music, which was fine.

In justice to Miss Minnie McAvoy and Willie Letson, I feel it my duty to state that their papers were the neatest and most systematic They were indeed fault lees in these feature. Considering the age of the pupil, I be lieve I am justified in stating that Mis Nellie West's papers show best scholar ship of all I examined. The good work performed by Miss Clara Kellogg and Miss Clara White, in the grammar room, eatitled them to spec ial promotion to high room a creditable feature to the yoo&g ladies, and certain ly an incentiTe to others to work for a similar honor.
