The mayor appointed Proctor Proc-tor Roblson, but tho council would not cnii II tin. Members of the council then began a campaign In favor of Charles Lover. Other citizens joined In, and for a few days petitions flew around so fast as to dazzle anyone hut an experienced politician.

The holidays In Fillmore have passed pass-ed quietly and enjoyably on the whole. The chief amusement, for a change, was dancing. The other towns of the county might follow with pleasure pleas-ure this new project of Fillmore. What Is more graceful and enjoyable than a dance to the niusle of orchestra orches-tra or accordion? But why argue? If the other towns would only try the experiment they would never quit. In Fillmore I he jolly crowd didn't stop for swlal or show. They had old folks' parties and children's dances. They danced with nnsks and without. Two or three tried dancing with whisky, whis-ky, but Marshal lxwley convinced them that It wouldn't work. Rufus Day, who hasn't danced for 2i years, bought two numbers every night during the holidays, and there were a good many more of his kind.

While away his wife passed away; his son wandered off and lost; and his two daughters have married, so that now Jim Is alone. He thinks, however, that his son, !n, may ret return. Many think that he was lost In the snow and perished, but a year or so ago a Mormon missionary reported re-ported to him that he saw Ixn In a theater In Michlgm, but was unable to catch him after the show. As the missionary was an old friend of the lost boy, some credence may be attached at-tached to the story. |
