Dramatic entertainment for Benefit
Of the Odd Fellows.
We mentioned last week that the Hills
boro Dramatic and Reading Club had Of
fered to give an entertainment in this place
for the benefit of the Odd Fellows. We
are able to give the date and other partic-
ulars this week. The entertainment will
take place on Friday evening, Nov. 9th,
when will be produced "The Chimney
Corner" and the charming comedetta en-
titled 1.-THE Little Sentinel Our citizens
should give the Club a crowded house, and
while enjoying pleasant evenings enter
Ptainment, assist the Odd Fellows in re-
pairing their heavy losses by the late fire.
The young ladies and gentlemen compos
ing the Club are of the highest socia
standing in their own city, and our citi
zens can rely on a first-class entertainment
It would not be treating them with du'
courtesy to allow their kindness in thu
offering their assistance to our Odd Eel
lows to pass without proper appreciation,
shown by crowded house on the evening
of their entertainment.
