a pleasant surprise Saturday evening
when a number of tho ladies of tho
town dropped in to surprise us on the
occasion 01 our birthday anniversary
wnich occurred next day. While the
"surprise" feature was not as com-
plete as it might havo been we rather
suspicloned something was going to
happen wo all enjoyed a splendid
evening of fun nevertheless. At n late
hour deliclois refreshments were nerv-
ed after which the guests departed

Mrs. Chas. Gregg of Kokomo is a
patient at the Beaver hospital this
week undergoing treatment prepara-
tory to be n K operated upon fur appen-
dicitis The operation will probably
be performed Sunday The Herald
joins with the many friends of the fam-
ily in trusting that the operation may
be entirely successful and that the
patient may speedily recover
During the past two weeks a number
of our subscribers have responded to
our request for payment of their sub-
scription accounts and have come In
and settled up in full and for a year or
two in advance. We certainly appre-
ciate this action on their part. While
many have paid there yet remains a
large list of those who aru slightly in
arrears and we would bo grateful to all
such If they could arrange to take care
of their; email accounts within the next
few weeks. As we said before it is
only a matter of a few dollars to each
of our subscribers but to us having
hundreds of such small accounts out-
standing it means several hundred
dollars which would come in mighty
handy now In helping to pay for the
new machinery and equipment which
we have found it necessary to install
In order to keep the Herald alone at
the front of the procession. If conven-
ient to do 80 we would appreclato a
few dollars on subscription from those
in arrears add we won't bar those
who are already paid up in advance if
they want to extend their subscrip-
tions a few more notches.

Hand wa on hand to furnish music for
the decision and for a time wild
enthusiam reigned. Among the crowd
wete those.who had waited thirty years
lor this event and if they grr;w a little
hilarious in their demnifstratlotis7 they
are to be excused for it means some-
thing to at last have tho fruits ot long
period ol labors realized. We doubt
if ever another railroad was built
under tho same circumstances and by
the same means which the Beaver
Short Line was built. It is not neces-
sary for us to repeat tho story of its
building for it has been told and re
told nnd the eyes of the outside world
have been attracted this way because
of the stick-to-it-ive-ness and earnest-
ness with which our people worked to
complete the project. They truly
worked like "beavers" and hold on
with the tenacity of a hull dog in the
face of discouragements and opposi-
tions which were enough to take the
vim out of even tho moit enthusiastic.

they go lifter anything they always get

The demonstration Saturday after-
noon was a sort of impromptu nffair for
it was not known for certain that the
track would be ready for the train to
pull in (V real celebration will be
held when the road is all complete and
ready to turn over to the railroad
company.

FORGAN DEPOT LOOTED.
The depot at Forgan was looted
Thursday night of last week and about
twenty gallons of boozo carried off by
1 the pilferers'. It is also stated that an
attempt was made to enter the estab-
lishment of the Elk Olty Sales & Com-
mission Company the same night but
tho would-be robbers wore frightened
off before they accomplished their pur-
pose With twenty gallons of booze in
their possession it ought not to have
been hard to apprehend the miscre-
ants for we have it on good authority
that there are a number of individuals
both In Beaver and Forgan who can
accurately scent a much smaller nuan-
tity of "licker" a great distance.
