Pleasant Prairie.
The weather the latter part of the week
was delightfully."- cool, putting every one in
good humor with themselves especially
those interested in the exercises at the
church Friday evening.
Mrs. Walker and children, from Canada,
(sister of Rev. e. B. Lounsbury) are visiting
at the parsonage.
Although always cheerful and pleasant
been more feeble of late. But we are glad
to see him still in his accustomed seat on
the porch with a hearty welcome for all.
Keep up good courage, Uncle Frank, for if
our prayers are answered, you will be with
US many years yet.
Our little church was well filled at the
quarterly services last Sunday morning, and
all were more than pleased with the rous-
ing good sermon from DR.. Halsey, given in
his usual earnest, practical manner. The
singing was unusually good, as was re-
marked by a prominent singer from Ke-
nosha
We were glad to see the genial counte-
nance of w. K. Packman on our streets
again, who spent Sunday with his mother.
AS usual, woman's curiosity was aroused
with regard to the mysterious sounds Sun
day evening, and the ghost-like appearance
with which they were suddenly confronted
and commanded to be silent. AS to the
cause, &c. All right, "mum' is the word
if you don't break the 5th commandment
again.
Herbert Holt, from Racine, improved the
opportunity Of meeting old friends and en-
joying the musical and literary entertain
ment Friday evening.
The many friends of Miss Mack, who is
visiting her cousin, Mrs. Crosby, regret
that her vacation is drawing to close.
We are glad to see Misses Lottie and
Maggie Reynolds at home again. They
seem to enjoy their vacation from the
school room, and we are glad to have them
with us.
The entertainment at the church Friday
evening was grand success, both in lit
erary point of view and financially. The
handsome sum of fifty dollars was realized,
making the project in view of building a
new parsonage more Of reality All who
assisted are deserving Of praise, but more
particularly the Arion Qnartette from Ke-
nosha, whose efforts were highly appreciat-
ed and added greatly to the pleasure of the
evening, as was manifested by the hearty
encores they received 1t is hoped they al
so njoyed it AMI will want to come again.
Our correspondent is correct. The quar-.
tette enjoyed themselves splendidly and
will remember the cordiality Of their recep.
ton very gratefully. The hospitality of
Mr.. S. A. Crosby and family took a practi-
cal turn and gave very pleasant ending to
an enjoyable evening. TEL COURIER.
Miss Shuart displayed good taste and fine
elocution in her rendition of her selections.
Miss Shuart would delight an audience
with whole program of such pieces. Her
encore was decidedly chic. Miss Ward
read selection from the philosophisings of
"Josiah Aliens Wife" and did it very we'll
Miss Bessie Wells, of Kenosha, gave an
amusing parody on Poes "Raven" and re-
ceived merited encore. Miss Hattie
Mack did much toward making the enter
tainment a success. She is quite accom-
plished, pleasing the audience equally with
her singing or her Rotations She was
heartily encored every time she appeared.
Her selection of songs was specially good
and the encores brought out the most TAX
ing things, She recited The Dukites"
with excellent taste and effect. Her tones,
both singing and speaking, are full and rich
and betoken careful training. The com nit
tee in charge of the entertainment were
very fortunate in having such talent as
Miss Shuart and Miss Mack to draw upon.
Perhaps the gem of the evening was 'Pig
cons" recitation Of James Whitcomb Ri.
ey's exquisite poem, "Little Orphan An
ME-" She rendered it in perfect style and
taste, and fairly drought down the house."
Look out for notice of another entertain
ment in the near future.
