not been

It would appear
that
the
steeple
clock
is changed
so frequently
or is running
so
incorrectly that it is impossible
to adjust
any clock
to agree with it for
more
than
a few
hours.
Recently
all
our
clocks
were
slow,
then
all of
a
sudden
they
gained
ten
minutes
in one day, and
now
last night they have lost
seven
minutes.
This is regrettable
for
one
of the
most
valuable
aids
to
business
and
working
people here
is correct
time,
The picture shown
at St. Mary’s Sehool
House
last night
was
a
verv
charming
production
and everybody
who was
pre-
sent
at
the
exhibition
agrzes
that
it
deserved
a
better
aftendance
which
is possible
to be
excused
owing
to there
having
been
two
successive
shows
pre-
ceding
this.
At any
rate
this
much
is
scored
that
the
class
of film to be
han-
dled is
shown
to
be
the right one,
and
that
which
should
appeai
to those
who
appreciate
the
clean,
wholesome
drama.
