The banner with the not strange de-
vice ice cream" once more greets the
eyes of our villagers. It is sent ahoat
the breeze under the auspices of our very
energetic Ladies Mutual improvement
Club" who cordially invite the liberal
patronage of the public, with the assur-
ance that not only may good dish of
ice cream be had, but also worthy
cause will thus be advanced. The ladies
have a vigorous faith that at no distant
day church will be erected in the vii
lage, and they purpose to have the
means forthcoming whereby it can be
handsomely furnished. In the mean
time they are not idle. They have
rented rooms of Mr.. Witcher, in which
they purpose to organize Sunday school,
to be kept in operation during the sum-
mer months. 1t is hoped that those
having children in and near by the vii
lage will show proper appreciation of
this Effort to see to it that not only their
children attend, but they themselves en-
courage the movement by their own
presence.

The church presented nice appearance
and bespoke credit to those who aided
in its decoration. The concert which
was to follow in the evening had to be
adjourned because of the rain.
