The operetta, Little Bo-Peep," given
at Robinson's hall on Wednesday and
Thursday evenings last, was a very
pleasing entertainment. 1t was gotten
up by Miss Lola Dwinell, Mrs. H. G.
Pierce and others, and about twenty of
our young people and children took part
in it. Every part was perfectly COM
mitted, and the singing and acting was
all good. Miss Matte Bean acted the
part of "Bo-Peep," Carl Jewell that of
"Boy Blue" Miss Mae Randall of GLOW
er "Ladye Lea" Miss Grace Murkland
"Netticote," Miss Ida Young Mistress.
Ethel Bickford Gill;" Alfred Young
"Taffy." They are all good singers and
actors. Miss Dwinell and Mrs. Pierce
played some difficult piano pieces be-
tween scenes. Our people are reminded
that the entertainments prepared by
"home talent" are among the best given
in the place, and that they contribute to
good objects, encourage the young in
wholesome amusements, and afford them
selves pleasure when they patronlze
those things that are gotten up by our
people for benevolent objects.
