The entertainment at Sieepers hall by
Henry Rogers Post No. II, G. A. R., was one
Of the finest Of the season. The vocal and
instrumental music was good. Mrs. I. c..
Thatcher presided at the organ, and was as
sisted by Miss Lima Beaulieu, Mrs. EIDE Bill
ings, DR.. Beaulieu, and Mr.. Noah Palmeter.
DR.. Beaulieu was the first one called on to
speak, and did Justice to the occasion, as he
always does. Mr.. Swift then took the floor,
and, as he remarked that he was not cut out
for lawyer or preacher, and was not edu-
Gated for an orator, he nevertheless succeed
ed in holding the attention of the audience
while he was speaking. Capt. A. ]. Hunt
was the next to speak, and not having his
speech prepared, he read a very interesting
discourse from manuscript. A. D. Brown
read from pamphlet Renaissance OF the
late rebellion, which was rery entertaining.
The floor was then given up to Master Walter
Bacon and Ed. Billings, who were logged up
to represent couple of contrabands, and
sang song and did some fine clog dancing.
Mrs. EIDE Billings concluded the entertain
ment with singing, "Ah! Jimmy farewell,
your brother has fell, away down in Ala
bama," &C., which was well rendered, and
created much laughter. After substantial
supper at Steve Ives new store, which sup
per was presided over by the wives and
daughters of the veteran soldiers, the people
adjourned to Slceper's hall, where the old as
well as young, Judge Muncy being the most
prominent one), danced the Eight fantastic"
till four o'clock in the morning. The net re-
ceipts were the snug sum of $64.75, which
will be used toward purchasing uniforms for
the members of the lodge. the entertain
ment gotten the up by ''brave boys who wore
tho blue and fought for their country in
the late rebellion, will long be remembered
by the citizens of Brownsville.
