The "little" set of nine girls were entertained by Mr. and Mrs. J. D. McMahan last Friday night. The next morning they were surprised when lt was announced that there were a lot of eggs hidden In the yard, and they had a delightful time hunt ing eggs. The last meeting of the Boys* Corn Club was held at Walhalla last Sat urday. Of the 35 boys that have joined Richland furnishes ton. The Woodmen ol the World held a called meeting last Wednesday night to Initiate nine new members. This makes about 70 at this camp. The Richland "walking club" went to Walhalla Saturday on their regu lar walk. Rev. Mr. Wilcox was down to the box party and Accompanied the "walkers" to Walhalla. As lo the moving of the Court House we realize lt ls a big job. If it eau be moved Richland-can move lt, ?is- we have a professional house mover Who has moved all sorts of houses and has never failed yet; also two successful railroad contractors who have moved everything In their paths, and Richland has the best of mules to pull with. Since the Court House has been standing so long in its present position lt must be deeply Imbedded In motlier earth and somewhat "sot In it? ways." We also take it for granted that every inhabi. taut .of Walhalla, and for miles around, would get In to weight it down rather than have it moved. Again, we feel sure the mountain people would tie a heavy cabio rope around the Court House and run the rope over Issaquerta Falls and through the tunnel and around the Stumphouse mountain and tlc it hard and fast thereto. Then If Sheriff Kay and F. A. II. Schroder and Frank Henton, from near Salem, should stand on Hie front slops, with Uncle Jim Seaborn to talk against it, and fret and aggravate the mules to keep them from pulling together, in the language of one of Senator Smith's yarns, "'we would never move her." So If Seneca, Westminster and Boun ty Land will quit we will give the job up and let the Court House stand. But If ,!t ever begins to move we ex pect to land lt at Richland. So say we all. At a recent meeting ol' tho session of the Presbyterian church J. P. Strlbllng was elected delegate to the spring Presbytery. Miss Lalla Ballenger ls at home on a visit to her parents, Capt. and Mrs. J. J. Hallenger. The chief event of tho week was the box party given by the Ladies' Missionary Society al (he home of Capt.
