SoCIABLE NOTES.
The Sociable at the Baptist church
last week was well attended and to all
appearances was an enjoyable affair.
The proceeds of the evening were
SIS.
One man was Tor seemed to bel in
some trouble because he had paid for
his ice cream and had not received a
receipt. thinking that perhaps among
$50 many women, they might exact a
second payment. His fears were
allayed the next morning on receiving
the receipt for his money.
The Jubilee Singers were out in full
force, and rendered such pieces as
are familiar to all, among which were
.Swanee River, sherman s March,
&c. Many thanks and encores were
given. Miss Clara Evans favored the
company by singing one of her beau
tiful solos, Miss Jessie Stevenson
accompanying her on the organ.
The superintendent of one of our
Sunday Schools, while being repri-
nanded by his wife lin the shape of a
shaking), walked rather unsteadily
which caused him to wonder "whai
the ice cream contained" Mote how
apt we are to cast reflections on the
wrong person or things.l
Miss Edna Matchan gave recitation
which elected great applause.
The money received from this even
ing's work is to help defray th'
expenses of the lecture to be given By
Hon. John b. Finch, under the aus
pices of the Union and Good Templars
on May 5th.
