Seldom if ever has more enjoyable
entertainment been brought cut at this
place than that given by the little folks
of our schools on Friday evening last,
under the management of Miss Tressie
Byerly of the intermediate department.
and Miss Allie Bronson of the Primary.
For weeks the tireless energies of these
teachers have been at work preparing
| for the occasion and the result speaks
well for their fitness in the line of work
at which they are employed. At eight
o'clock the church, which had been
nicely decorated, was packed with an
| expectant audience. Soon martial
strains of music were heard approach
ing outside and the column of bright.
happy children entered headed by
standard bearers with banner display
ing the motto: 1.-The Fennlmore Light
Infantry" After marching around the
room the children took seats around
the platform in front and the programme
for the evening began Nearly every
child had some part in dialogue, speech
or song, and where all did we'll it is
| hard to make particular mention.
Among those that won most applause
were a representative of the original
states by thirteen girls suitably cos
tuned; the drill of Capt. Willie
Thompson's squad of Infantry with
their toy guns, and the address by little
Anna Smallberry with DR.. Pickard's
big st. Bernard dog Capt" by her
side. The Fennimore band donated
their services to enlven the occasion.
and altogether it was a happy. Joyous
affair for all concerned-one that will
always be bright spot in the memories
of the little ones who took part.
As mentioned last week Fennimore
proposes to celebrate July 4th, and on
scale that will .'astonish the natives"
Ample funds have been subscribed and
the citizens are going about the prepara-
| tons with an energy which guarantees
that the poster announcements, big as
they seem, are but feeble expressions of
what will actually take place; nothing
short of an ordinary circus poster could
begin to do justice to the subject. Eu-
gene Il. McDermott, Esq, has been
engaged to come and deliver the ora
ton; the Fennimore band and Glee
club will furnish music; broom brigade
drill. Mulligan guards, games and con-
tests of various kinds will enliven the
days programme, which will wind up
with grand display of fireworks.
Hunt up and read the posters and note
what treat is in store for all who
come.
Him, Hildebrand & Parker-taxed
beyond their capacity to take care OF
the immense quantities of cream coming
in-have put another large churn into
their creamery, and still require long
day to get through with their work.
Mike Months new building is nearly
completed and is handsome, substan-
tial addition to the appearance of the
village.
Mr.. Tormey works, when the
weather permits, at the foundation of
bis building; but progress is slow on
account of the constant rain. We long
for the day when that corner which has
so long been an eyesore TO the village,
shall be covered by the handsome solid
brick building he has planned.
Lou. Fisher is putting up a residence
on his lot, corner Lincoln and Loney
| streets.
DR.. Wolff has his sale Saturday, and
starts Immediately with his family for
Milwaukee. Dr. McDermott has bought
and taken possession of the Wolff resi-
dence, and assumes the practice vacated
by the latter.
Schools are out for the long summer
vacation and teachers and scholars are
ready for the rest and recreation of the
hot months. Why doesn't Providence
treat us all thus generously. -.
