w. C. T. Y. ENTERTAINMENT.

The entertainment on last Friday night
given for the w. c. T. U. under the man.
agement of Mrs. V. c. Harris was a de-
cided success, aud, like its predecessor OF
a year age, won laurels for the noble band
of women organized for "GOd and
Home aud Native Land" Heuck's Hall
was tastefully and deliberately decorated,
presenting a festive appearance with the
elegant white satin banner of the Union
gracefully poised on one side of the stage;
while on the other stood the Splendid up
right piano of our accomplished musician,
Mrs. +. II. Crutcher. The music of the
evening, furnished by Misses Corrie and
Katie johnson, was choice and finely exc
cuted. The Welcome" represented by
seven young ladies each with an attrac-
tive banner bearing one letter of the
familiar salute and each attired in snowy
white, made.a pleasing scene. As they
stood in perfect silence Miss Addie V.
Marshall, handsomely attifed in black
silk and jet, presented an address, "a
Sketch of the W. C. 4. U. of Brookhavcn
for the year, 1885," A special pride was
taken in this address as it was written in
honor of the Unions birthday which the
entertainment celebrated. Miss Addie
scored decided success and the Union
lost none of her pride in the privilege of
calling her SISTER" The curtain falling,
Miss Wessie Martin next appeared in
recitation, might Wooings," written by
Mrs. Harris Miss Wessie acquitted her
self as creditably as she always does.
The psntomime, "The Death of Hope"
composed by Mrs. Harris, followed in
tableau appropriate to the following
notices which fairy (little Minnie Fri
lick) presented on snowy banners at the
close of each scene She Trusts-The
Genial Cup-The Fatal Step-It Biteth
like Serpent-Begging for Bread-He
tarries long at the Wine Cup-Woe unto
him that giveth his Neighbor drink-No
drunkard shall enter the Kingdom of
God. Misses Lizzie Britton, Susie Powell,
Josie Daughtry and Mr.. Frank Martin
with Joe Magee and little Joe Frilick
were the actors in this dra ma. Mr.. Mar
tin was inimitabe in his role as both
bridegroom and drunkard, while Miss Liz
zie Britton well sustained her part as the
principal actress. The tableau, "Before
and After Marriage" was well received
with Mr.. Tom Perkins and Miss l.. Brit
ton as bride and groom and Mr.. +. Mar
tin and Miss Gertrude Smurr, as imam
and WIFE" Miss Dixie Patrick's recita-
ton was listened to with marked atten-
ton and Miss Lutte Gadberry's in charac-
ter, "In the Bitter Cold" was very fine.
The closing tableau, as the angels appear
cd to bear her away was raptnrously ap-
plauded. The celestial spirits" were
Misses Susie Powell and Josie Daughtry.
Misses Ada Sessions and Josie Daughtry
as psyche and Venus" made lovely
tableau. Old King Cole by the little
folks was much enjoyed. and 1t beng
original by Mrs. Harris was new and TAX
ing. Mrs. Harris deserves unstinted
praise for the success her efforts achieved.
A gratifying sum was realized from the
large audience present and the Union re-
turns thanks to all for their cordial sup
port and especially to those who 50 pa
tiently bore their parts in the program.
MIR. A. Lewenthal Jr., gracefully made
adieux for the evening and was loudly
