 The young peoples entertainm ent at tbe Town hall Monday evening was de- cided success. The hall was crowded, and the interesting program was finely carried out. George H. Shows solo was loudly encored, while Dasie Dimock's recitation of the verses written for the occasion by 8 lady who was present, entitled ''GrandEa' 8 Trouble" brought down the house. Large delegations from South Wilmington and Daleville were present. By the way, the author of those verses, Mrs. Annie A. Pres ton, says that the many friends who have applied to her for copies can be accommo- dated in the near future by buying them in printed form at ten cents apiece, the proceeds to go towards the thew furnace fund. May we make this suggestion with out offence? At future entertainments please let eve1y piece be short so that more time can be given to social intercourse and the sale of the eatables. It is notable that our boys and girls make capital ice cream. Twenty dollars was netted on the occasion.
