Christmas eve was very generally celebrated
here with public entertainments and Christmas
trees at the Porter school house and Union Hall and
trees at several private residences The entertain
ment at the Porter school house consisted Of dia
l0gues, rccitations, songs and deClamations. The
tree, a large one, was loaded with presents, many
of them very valuable. Lots of fun caused by
the quaint sayings of Santa Claus. Mr. John Dol
loft, as he distributed the presents. Everyone pro
nounced this the best entertainment of the kind
ever held in the district. The entertainment at
Union Hall opened with an instrumental concert by
the orchestra, followed by a unique broom drill by
20 young ladies, commanded by Miss Ella Trundy
1t pronounced by all to be the hit of the season.
The young ladies were uniformed in white trimmed
with red with tall red sweeping caps and were
equipped with hrooms, dust-pans and large red
dust cloths. The drill with bro0ms was perfect
and the erolutons in marching and wheeling would
do credit 10 veterans and were received with round
after round OF applause The original chorus II
cannot sing thai song to night by 30 ladies and
gentlemen was a feature of the entertainment and
when the musical director after vigorously waving
his baton and not getting so much one note from
the chorus announced 'that it was very evident
they could not sing that song tonight, it brought
down the house. The reading of 'The Old Ser
geant' by Dick Smith was well received, As was
the song by f. G.. Nichols, entitled 1.-The Baritone
singer, ana Tor an encore piece "Ihat was The cry
of Maria" The Skeleton in Armor, recitation By
Miss Lora Nichols, very beautifully rendered:
and the song by Miss Ella Trundy "When the
leaves begin to fall" was delivered in her usual
happy manner and was received with applause
The gifts were then distributed by the committee
and everybody went to their homes feeling they
had spent pleasnr abe and prontaole Christmas
eve. We say pronraple Tor almost every one re-
ceired present.
