L FOR A DImE.
Pleasant Evening at the U. G. L. A.
and Promise of More at the
Same Place.

Agreeably to the announcement in
tho daily papers, the dino aeries Of
entertainments Of the U. G. l.. A, for
season Of 1928, was inaugurated in
the library rooms Friday. The
occasion was signalized by perhaps the
largest and most intelligent audience
that has yet gathered 10 the rooms.
In it were a number Of ladies from
abroad, now sojourning here, among
whom may be mentioned Miss Bueter
of Nebraska City, Miss Gavin of
Aurora, Miss Furay of Cleveland and
Miss George Hagy of Sioux City.
The last mentioned lady took part in
the piano duet with Miss Katie Muir
ply, the selection being o piece Of
Donizetti's. The programme consisted
of eleven pieces and in merit was equal
TO many for which on previous coca
sion the admission to the entertain
ment has been 30 cents. 1t gave un.
equivocal satisfaction.
The Library association is splendidly
qualified to continue these entertain
ments. Its rooms are central, cheer
full, cozy, pleasant to viOit, especially
when illuminated. Many of its mem
bers are talented readers, speakers
and musicians, and all them are Btudi-
ously engaged in aiding the manage.
mems in building up a social and
literary organization that, in a abort
time, shall come to be recognized
throughout the city. The rooms, how
ever, spacious as they are, lack the
ability to accommodate the people who
avail themselves of the entertainments.
Next month there will be no tickets
sold beyond the seating capacity of
the rooms, and this rule will be adj.
hered to until something Oh a grHnder
scale can be perfected. 1t is stated
that last evening applications were
mado for tickets for the next sociable,

COUNTY FAIR,

FRANKLIS, Neb., Sept, 81, 1882,
To the Editor of The BEE:
Your correspondent was requested
this morning to stake in the county
fair of Franklin county, now being
held at this place, so with Faber In
hand we repaired to the beautiful
grounds adjoining town on tho east,
where we found a large number Of
people already assembled.
The display in the various depart.
ments reflect great credit upon this
section of the country, and especially
ia this true in the department of the
agricultural productions. We were
very highly pleased with the manner
in which the people of this section vie
with each other in exhibiting the
fruits of their labors, among the nov
elites we noticed were a half dozen
watermelons averaging about 60 lbs.
each, a bushel of OK ,ellent potatoes
averaging about one and one half lbs.
each, onions weighing two lbs, corn
IN almost endless varieties some stalks
ten to fifteen feet in height, with large
well filled ears, aud in fact every
thing in this display war
rants us in saying that there
are very few counties in the state that
can compare with Franklinin her apri-
cultural productions. We remember
that Franklin county has claimed to
be the banner county in the state for
farm products, and we now think she
is entitled to a prominent place in the
state productions.
In the afternoon Miss Susan b. An.
thony delivered a lecture at the fair
grounds on the subject of woman's
suffrage, which was listened TO bv a
large number Of people. The "suf-
frage' movement is not very enthusi.
astieally supported in this county, and
numbers only q scattering few adhe.
