The deserted hotel building opposite the
store front at Fools creek bad a part of tbe
roof go In under tbea weight of snow on
Sunday last. We did not bear if a bird
lit on It or not, but It is possible the in
creased weight or a bird may bave
caused the calamity. Several lives were
lost I. e , bed parasites tbst have made
ibis their abode for many moons. Tbey
were wbat you might call hardshell bap
tists. Some of them, we bave been told,
bad shells nearly as bard aa turtle's. As
only a part of tbe roof went In there is
enough left to preserve tbe strain.
Singing service at tbe church Sunday
nigbt was a very interesting one and
several new hymns were learned by those
present. We bope the attendance will
not fall off as tbis is helpful to a lot of tbe
young people. Even though we bave uo
great talent here, there Is enough to sur
prise tbe natives if given a chance to
demonstrate. Every one wbo attends
should feel at home and come to tbe front
and take part in tbe singing, even if you
were never In tbe building before.
Several of our men wbo bave lately got
out of work are going to tackle the woods
down towards Mayburg. We are glad to

Wben parents keep their children from
school to rock tbe baby, wash dishes, or
"slop" tbe hog, tbe thought never occurs
to them tbat tbe time so lost Is never
found again and can never be made up,

Tressa Hendrickson bas charge of the
smallei ones.
