CANTATA WINS FAVOR
FROM ALL AUDITORS
Anybody who doubted that a town of
Seward’s size could assemble sufficient
I musical talent to produce so difficult a
i musical attraction as “The Nativity”
had his doubts dispelled if he attended
the program given Sunday night in
Moore’s hall under tlie auspices of the
Methodist church. It is the rare for
tune of Seward that it has several
singers of the highest training and
possessing voices of unusual quality,
who have figured in musical circles in
! large citiesof the states. Unthinkable
as it may appear to the highly polished
I eastern mind these persons have
brought their musical culture with
them and can sing as well here as in
the cultivated and refrigerated at
mosphere >>f Back Bay or the Great
Lakes.
Besides special numbers given by
soloists an excellent chorus of care
fully trained voices was a marked fea
ture of the program. The hall was
| crowded and only fluttering comments
were made upon the entertainment.
Beginning March 1, 1907, messages
may be written on both sides of postal
cards, according to a recent ruling of!
the postmaster-general. Messages on
the face of the cards, however, may be j
only on the left half, leaving the right i
half of the card for the address and I
post mark.
K. K. Oldham came in from Gird
wood, via Sunrise, Sunday night to help

does not mind a little thing like that.
Mr. Oldham is one of the owners of
the famous Crow Creek mine.
