was an interesting one throughout, and was
faithfully carried out with the exception,
that Miss McKeague took the part assigned
to Miss Hubert. Mrs. j. B. Sinclair as
president Of the W. c. T. U. read an inter-
esting account Of the origin aud progress Of
the society and bespoke for it the co-opera-
tion Of all good men and women in the fur
ther carrying on Of its noble work. II

ceived, only for the manifestations Of envy
by those kids at Warren Moore's frequent
draughts from that bottle Of "spiritus fru.
men.i." The proceeds from the ssie of
tickets was SIPS.
