The social held i'll the new NJ. +.
church at Roseburg, Tuesday evening
last, drew a large and social-loving
crowd, to participate i'll the pleasures
and luxuries that the occasion afforded.
The grounds being beautifully lighted
up with torch lights. presented a very
attractive appearance, especially where
the tables were. The band from this
place was present, contributing as
much as possible to the enjoyments of
the evening which consisted of speak
ing, vocal and instrumental music. The
boys are well pleased with the kind and
generous manner in which they were
treated. We are pleased to notice the
progress of the new church which when
completed will reflect much credit upon
those who carried the enterprise to the
front and stood firmly in support of
the same. The proceeds of the even
ing will approximate $50 which will un-
doubtedly be appreciated by the pastor.
The debate mentioned in this issue
will certainly be one that will interest
and instruct all who may be present.
The issue though now in its infancy,
has developed into massive proportions
during the last decade, and which will
evidently occupy no obscure or second
ary place among our nations politics.
The speaker on the affirmative, being
the acknowledged leader and champion
of the cause i'll this state, obviously sue
ceed in presenting vividly before the
minds of his hearers, the important
principles underlying this complicated
problem. The speaker on the negative
! being person well versed in all the
issues and topics of general interest
and a fluent speaker, will also make a
strong and convincing argument in de-
Tense of his political views. The antag-
onistic arguments will set forth the
principle points for, and against the
principles of prohibition, and present
clearly the points upon which this great
question hinges. AS the speakers have
generously offered to donate the net
proceeds for the benefit of the Brockway
Centre Band we hope to see full house
as it will assist them in procuring the
instruments so much needed.
