The entertainment given Friday eve
ming at COVERS Hall, under the aus
pices of the Ladies Aid society of tn,
M. Il. Church, was a fattering success
in every way. Some little feeling wa'
stirred up by the refusal Of our lumber
dealer to rent lumber for use in tn,
hall-because of recent joking OF
needless remark by one of the trustees
when negotiating for lumber for the
church repairs; but the ladies have a
faculty for continuing their way out OF
strait, and the only result of the re
fusal was a two or three hours delay
and some annoyance in making their
preparations. The hall was tastefully
fitted for the occasion, the end farthest
from the stage being occupied by
the sales booth and lunch counter. The
evening opened with the Kate Green
away entertainment, and from the rising
of the curtain on the "Tea Party" to
the closing drill March" for an hour
and a half, the audience was treated to
a constantly shifting variety of tableaux,
songs, recitations, etc, interspersed
with vocal and instrumental music by
some Of our amateurs and music by the
band Following this program a pleas
ant surprise was sprung on the school
teachers. Prof Woolcock, and Misses
Philbrick and Brunson were called upon
the stage and in few appropriate re-
marks by Rev. Sims presented each
with book, mementoes from their
scholars. From this point the pro-
ceedings were of a decidedly social, in
formal character, the bazaar and lunch
counters becoming the centers of at
traction, with pecuniary results that
must have been gratifying to the fair
Altogether the affair may
be regarded as pleasant success and it
speaks we'll for the enterprise of the
ladies and the liberality of the COM
munity. The substantial results are as
follows Taken at the door in 10c ad-
missions, $22.70; bazar, $30.53; lunch
counter, $3.50; total, $S1.03; which,
after deducting all expenses, will leave
the ladies 1888 for their fund In
this connection, they desire to express
their hearty thanks to each and every
one who by kindly service and liberal
patronage aided to make the results so
gratifying, especially to the band who
donated their services, and to the ladies
who, although not members of this
church, devoted time, labor and expense
to preparing for and conducting the en-
tertainment
New accessions are being made to the
Good Templars lodge at this place and
