We had turkey for our Sunday dinner. We thoroughly thor-oughly enjoyed ourselves, too. We have been having nasty weather i olT and on of late. One day last week We had as hard a wind from the southwest south-west as I have seen since coining into : the vnlley. It wouldn't he so bad if only I bit of moisture would come i with the wind; we need it very badly. Aside from a light snow and a few I snowy squalls, no moisture has fall- l en this winter. We nre in recipt of a letter from ! Mr.- nnd Mrs. Fairley, in which we j lenrn of the dangerous illness of.lit-j of.lit-j tie Bert Davis, son of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Davis. Though we are glad to ! Btate that he is getting better. Mrs. Davis is at her old home in Tennessee I visiting.. On learning of his son's serious condition, Mr. Davis, an employee em-ployee of an electric concern in Fos Angeles, immediately left for Tenne-! Tenne-! ssee, where he now is. Mrs. Annie E. Phillips has been ' I seriously ill for some time. We are,! however, glad to report her convalescing conval-escing at present. An epidemic of , la grippe seems to have struck us, and many of our people are offering from it. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mng-! Mng-! nussen and baby Mairnussen, Miss Valborg Magnussen and Mr. Farl , Markwith are all suffering from a eerere attack of this malady. This ( is the first time our little colony has been nlllicted by a general .sickness. In fact, we have been remarkably tree j from sickness up to the present. Our Saturday night program wai a rousing one. Seemed like old times. , About 40 adults were in attendance, jail but one being members, nnd this j one we hope to capture soon. We I had ice cream, cake nnd cotFee after ! the meeting and then we 'lanced until midnight. An important, and far reaching subject was up for discus sion the test well project. We are glad to report universal approval of this project by all present. We are oing to SEE for ourselves what underlies this part of the valley. And WO are going to DO IT NOW. Watch us. Tuesday evening a pleasant p'lity of nineteen Baharettei enjoyed an OJ tef topper at the home of our ie-tiring ie-tiring post master, Mr. (Juy Johnson. After Indulging In excellent oyeter soup until some of us were in actual misery, no paregoric being obtainable,! we adjourned to the school house and there nought .surcease from phys;cal misery in dancing. This being other than Saturday night, we danced D c!il the wee small hours o' the morning.' This was one of the delightful li'.tle parties our folks so often give in honor of arriving or depnrting friends thus helping to create a warmer clow about the hearts of our little community. com-munity. Mr. Johnson left the following follow-ing Friday for an in.'efin'te stay on the coast, or if Uncle Sam wants him, a possible trip to France. I reckon if things don't begin to shape up preity soon in Europe we will all be singing "We're coming, Father Woodroe, foijr hundred thousand strong," and meaning mean-ing it, too. a |
