FRIDAY, January 5.
The supper and entertainment at the
o. P. church on New Years Eve, was
a success beyond our most sanguine ex.
pectations. The weather was fine, the
sleighing splendid, and the reputation
of the suppers, of this church brought
out full house, In fact an outpouring
of the people. The consequence is that
the entertainment for the benefit OF
the s. g., has filled its treasury. The
exercises opened with music by the
choir. A short prayer was then offered
by Rev. Chafee, of the n. E. church,
followed by music by the brass band.
A general social time was then had for
an hour In which all seemed to enjoy
themselves. The band then played
"Sogards march" Ito Allen creek,) in
splendid style; in fact the band received
and deserved great credit for their good
playing throughout. Supper was next
in order, the children belonging TO the
s. s. being free admitted first, and then
any and all that wished had supper by
paying Is cents. The supper was really
splendid and after running through sew
eral tables, the last was as good as the
first. Everything good was there, from
q cup Of good hot coffee down to roast
turkey. There was also an oyster table
which was ably presided over by Mrs.
J. D. Gibson, and oysters served in sew
eral different languages. Mrs. Gibson
is entitled to great credit for the able
manner in which she conducted her
lister" stand.
We noticed the different style Of hav-
ing oysters served, while Miss Helen
wished hers Stew(arD, Miss Bell was
not particular just 50 they were Cooked,
and Maroon put his Bond, while Sogard
Bolted his down. We think Willard
has eaten oysters before as he seemed
to have the Wood on them. Music was
frequent during the supper. A duet by
Messrs. Tressler and Stewart brought
forth rounds Of applause. The enter
tainment throughout was certainly one
of the best Of the kind that il has ever
been q pleasure to attend in the State.
1t was not until some time after the
ringing of the bell, giving notice of the
new year, that the crowd commenced TO
disperse. KENO.
