Show HAPPENINGS AT HOLDEN The holidays were celelratel In grand style this year, owing to trie great number of visitors pre tent. Numerous Nu-merous dances and parties wore held, but the crowning event was the great rabbit hunt. In this hunt, ovr forty gunners were present besides an equal If not larger, number of packer. Thl seemed like a detachment of the State militia, but the number of rabbits killed amply repaid every participant for his effort. They killed 2546 of these little animals, or an average of over sixty rabbits to the man. The expense was a little heavy, lie lug over three hundred dollars for ammunition. am-munition. Tills was borne by the gun-uers, gun-uers, but many believe that resident landowners should help pay this because be-cause they receive most benefit from the rlddafice of this pest. An efficient and half as expensive method would be to construct a woven wire corral and then drive the rabbits Into this. More people could take part In the latter lat-ter plan and the danger would not be so great. We were favored by having five visitors vis-itors from Canada during holidays. They were D. F. Stevens and daughter, daugh-ter, Mrs. Olive Heap and son, and William It. Stevens. They expressed themselves" aslitftrtf Vad a good time'-"'""-" at their old home.

Some of the members of tbe Holden ward played "Hazel Kirk" and gave the proceeds toward buying a new church organ. The Primary Association Associa-tion played "The Kingdom cf Mother Goose" to a large and appreciative aud'ence. There are a few people here who are either trying to help us get a new school house, or else they are trying an underhanded scheme of howlng a grudge against somebody, because seven or eight lights were bioken during the holidays. |
