All we have to say to those fellows

the night. rObbing hen roosts, gardens

already known are in fair way to be-
eome known, and they had better look
but.

A week ago last Saturday the two
schools taught by Miss Matte Merrill
and Miss Jennie Baker united in giving
closing entertainment About 200
persons assembled in E. G. Rowelps
grove. A large proportion of whom
were grown up people, from the young
man just trying to start moustache, to
the old veteran in white hair and spec
tacles. Mr.. Rowell, in his usual happy
way, introduced the order of exercises,
which consisted of music, recitations,
dialogues and tableaux, all of which
with the exception of some of the music
was furnished by talent from the two
schools. Your correspondent, with an
experience in four different states, feels
free to say it was the best entertainment
of the sort he ever attended. The selec-
tions were varied and in good taste. The
delivery was more than up to the average
of district schools, and to cap the climax
an abundant and good dinner was pro-
uided for all. This was furnished by
the older talent of South and East AL
bany. There seemed to be but one SEN
timent with regard to the affair: That
it was success, and q credit to those
concerned in it. S. W. G.
