{ E5s n Is =
The Baptist choir has been reorgan-
lied for the winter, with some very valua-
BILE additions to its corps. Mr.. Nordahl
Solner sang tenor solo at the evening
service last Sunday, which was rendered
in very satisfactory manner to the audi
ence. We heard many compliments for
the singing of the Baptist choir last Sun
day.

The Methodist supper last week
Tuesday night was a very good one.
Twenty dollars of the proceeds were
handed over to Dr. Phillips as a sort of
reminder that the coed people of the M.
E. Church appreciated the very efficient
service rendered by him in his constant
attendance in the choir. The DR.. is a
most excellent helper, and every laborer is
worthy Of his hire. .
The union sociable will be entertain.
ed next week by Mr.. and Mrs. W. W.
Engle in their new and elegant residence
on Mill street. The arrangements for the
sociable could not be completed for last
week as before announced, and so it was
deferred one week Their rooms are de-
| lightfully pleasant and commodious, and
Mr. and Mrs. Engle agreeable entertain
ers, and we expect there will be large
attendance. The date is Dec. 10Th, and
the object the Relief Society.
We think Dr. Phillips should have an
endowment chair. or a pension, or a do
nation, or something, and we don't wish
him to be served in homeopathic doses
either. The music and hard work he puts
in for the public benefit of this town, is
worth regular salary, and we hope and
believe his services are appreciated. Prof.
Leib realized that much of the success Of
the musical institute Of last week was due
to DR.. Phillips indcfatigable labor, and
so expressed himself.
"A. W. Edwards, pastor of the M. E.
church of this city, preached the sermon
at the Union Thanksgiving service, held
at the Baptist church last Thursday.
His subject was God in Government"
The sermon was listened to attentive]y,
and presented good reasoning. The
choirs of the city united and did some
grand singing. Mrs. Frank Sterling as
organist, Charles Wilbour with base viol,
and Nordahl Solner with clarionet, sus-
tanned the voices. The music was rich
treat to all present.
-D1ED-Last Thursday, little four
year old George, youngest son of Mr..
and Mrs. A. A. Reidnour of this city.
George had been an invalid the greater
part of his short life, but his unusually
patient and loving nature had drawn him
very near to this father and mothers
heart, and they feel in this death deep
and sore at1liction. They are not left
childless however, as one little son still
remains TO "bring the sunshine" into
their home The funeral services were
at the residence Saturday morning, and
conducted by Rev. G. E. Wright.
will Richardson and his little black
bury of a pony. celebrated Thanksgiving
day without the previous arrangements
being made. Will, and his partner,
Frank Day, were enjoying themselves,
no doubt feeling very thankful for the
leisure to take short sleigh-ride, and
hating a moment, the pony began to
kick, and seeming.to enjoy the exercise,
kept on kicking, and succeeded in tip
ping over and getting separated from the
sleigh and also in bruising and straining
Mr.. Richardson's left leg so that he has
not been on the street since. We are
Monhtul that the accident of Thanks
giving day was no worse.
The Fishers, viz: Mrs. F. Fisher, Mr..
and Mrs. John Fisher, Will Fisher and
two little Fishers, expect to. leave Austin
with all their worldly goods, in about
two weeks, for the land Of gold, of
oranges and aowers-in other words,
they expect to settle in Red Bluff, Cali
fornia. We are sorry to have these
friends leave us, but if they must, we
wish for them all health and wealth in
the new home to which they arc going.
Mrs Stewart will also accompany her
daughter, Mrs John Fisher. These
ladies', with the children, anticipate
spending the remainder Of the winter in
farewell visit with eastern friends, and
with the early spring will journey on to
the Pacific coast.
Burt" Richardson-his maiden name
was. Austin-departed this pleasant life
about month ago. Poor old fellow
He had two good masters, who gave him
two good homes, and for the last twenty
years he has proved himself worthy of
them. He was ever faithful, always
gentle and kind. always willing to do his
duty. Whether it was to attend church,
a funeral, a wedding, apicnic, or an after
noon tea, Burt was most always there,
and ready to do his part in bringing in
the audience. Old Burt had many
friends in Austin, for he had toted many
passenger who would otherwise had to
go on foot, and the memory of his good
deeds will not soon perish.
CATHOLIC FAIR.-The Catholic Fair
last Thursday, Friday and Saturday was
pleasant affair, and financially big
success. P. Geraghty informs us that the
net receipts will exceed $1,000. He says
the Catholics feel very grateful to the
non Cath olics for their large ATTENDANCE,
and for their hearty and liberal co opera
ton in making the fair success. The
