The Northwestern Orchestra of
Kimball expect to play for a series
of club dances in Chamberlain, Kim
ball, White Lake, Plankinton and
Mitchell. The first of the series in
Kimball will probably be held some
time next week. After which a reg,l-
lar club will be organized. The
Northwestern is without doubt the
finest orchestra in South Dakota and
the nelglboring towns will do well to
engage them.
Later-since the above was in type
we have learned that the Catholic So
clety of Kimball will give a dance at
the opera house on Friday evening
ofnext week. AS the above orchestra
furnish the music for the occasion it
will necessarily defer the first of the
series of club dances until a week
later.
