The Apollo Club has received an invita-
tion to give an entertainment at Lyndonville |
Saturday evening, July Sd, and r. II. Puffer
has been instructed to visit the place this !
week and see If satisfactory arrangements
can he made. If the club goes the Military
Band will go, too, and the two organizations
would form strong attraction among those
which will be offered for the entertainment
of the large crowd of people which 1t is ex-
pected will assemble to witness the Fourth
of July celebration to be held on the above
named day.
The Young Ladies' Missionary Society of
Bethany church are to have an apron sale
and sociable at the chapel Friday afternoon
and evening. The articles to be offered Tor
sale are all the handiwork of the young
ladies of the society, who have been busy all
winter preparing them, and the proceeds of
the sale will be entirely devoted to mis-
sionary objects. The enterprise is worthy
of liberal patronage and should have 1t. The
| invitation to attend the sale and sociabe is
general, and especially cordial to those out
side of Bethany society.
STEPS are being taken towards the re-
moval of the band-stand, which is toppling
|
end OF the Union School campus, where it
will be placed in readiness for the out-of-
door concerts by the Military Band during
the coming summer. The stand is OF no use
in its present location, and its removal to
place where trees and buildings will not in
| terfere with the enjoyment of music seems
very desirable. The proposed new location
is good one and fairly central one, and
the stand, when repaired and repainted,
will be an ornament to the school-house
grounds.
PIsCAToRIAL conquests, conducted out of
school hours during the past week by Mr..
Joseph A. DeBoer, the much-liked principal
of our public schools, have resulted in the
capture by him of two denizens of the deep,
a sucker and an eel. The latter was eagerly
devoured by the guests at Riverside
Tuesday morning, having been prepared
expressly for the OCCASION" and the smile
of satisfaction which o'erspread the classic
features of the professor as he viewed the
spectacle one eyewitness says eel never
forget. No succor was near-but we
wander from our story and will leave it for
the hero to finish.
