The dressed doll given away by the
Chicago Comedy Company was drawn
by Wilbur Kennels and ID. Il. Soar was
playing to sufficient luck to lug off the
three pieces of upholstered parlor furni.
ture. Dave compromised on sl5 In
cash. The company was but poorly
patronized, owing TO the fact that 30
many companies have played here dur

the season say that II contained good
dramatic ability.
The ball given by the fire boys on the
evening of Thanksgiving was well pat
ronized, the total receipts amounting to
about $50. With all expenses paid the
boys have $50 to put In the treasury.
The boys have pretty snug sum with
which to begin the campaign of 1880 for
the retention of the belt. The town
ought to be very liberal toward the de-
partment the coming year, to the end
that nothing be left undone that might
help them to hold the trophy. Its first
winning has been great credit to the
town, but to continue to hold II would
make the largest towns In the state
jealous.

Neal, president of the state association,
at the Red Mems hall, last Thursday
