Friends and neighbors are quite anxious about her condition. Mr. Lowman left the fore part of last week with Harve Lowman for points in the southwest, and does not know his daughter is sick. The Christmas entertainment at McCoy sburg Saturday night, given by the school children, was largely attended and was enjoyed by all. The tree was small, but was beautifully decorated. Lots of the presents were laid on tables as tree room was soon exhausted. The teacher, 8. W.

Mr. Noland saved his school treat to be given out at the tree and it was an excellent treat for children, composed of fruit and nuts.
