Those who attended the
recital at the Odd Fellows Hall
Wednesday night were entertained.
Miss Wirta Robinson
was at her best, and in fine
voice. She is an artist of very
high order and shows that
her training has been the very
best. She was ably assisted
by Misses Fern Reese, Allene
Smith and Virge Buxton. Mrs.
Lowenberg presided at the
piano and Prof. Busey played
the violin. The house should
have been crowded.

profit hardly in groceries, and

Jesse Cochran son of
Mr. and Mrs. J.M. Cochran of
this city was painfully injured
Thanksgiving afternoon, while
hunting with three friends. A
bullet from a .22 caliber rifle
went entirely through his right
arm twice.
The boys had been hunting
and laid down on the
ground to rest. Young Cochran
had his arm raised up
to his head, when a friend
accidently fired his rifle, the
bullet first striking Cochran in
the forearm, then in the upper
arm, passing through each. He
is reported doing nicely.
