Something Dreadful Happened At Monticello Saturday Night.

Following the field meet at Monticello last Saturday a meeting was held at the school house at night for the purpose of holding a social 'gathering and listening to a program of songs etc. Something dreadful happened but just what it was the newspapers did not say, but the following resolutions which were passed by the students of the high school Tuesday evening indicate that it was a disgraceful affair. The resolutions dead: Resolved, That we deplore the occurrence of last Saturday night which so seriously disturbed the comfort and well-being of all who were present for the evening program given in the high school room, and which has tended to bring discredit upon the otherwise good name of Monticello and the community. Resolved, That we condemn the conduct of the perpetrators of the egg outrage and that we characterize their ret as worthy only or Irresponslbles or savages.
