CHARITY'S CARNIVAL.
G. A. r. Ladies' Successful Enter
tainment at OLD City Hall.
A PARADE OF PRETTY BELLIES.
Pleasant Reception rendered to q Benedict
and His Bride.
SOCIAL EVENTS OF THE TWIN CITIES

The ladies of the G. A. 3. outrivaled
themselves. which is saying great deal, in
their entertainment at Old City Hall last
evening.
The ancient edifce was patriotic in decors-
tions and filed with patriotic people.
The programme opened with an overture
BY the Ideal Orchestra. Miss Mamie Roby
was then heard in the tragic recitation,
Searching for the Slain" Mrs. DR.. Sad
Ter, in ''Our Boys" was the next performer,
and preceded ''We'll Have to Mortgage the
Farm" 4" rendered by the Morehead choir.
Master Smith in vocal solo acquitted him
self nicely.
The Merchants Carnival" from which
the entertainment derived Its name, then
occupied the stage, and in it 16 young ladies
in costumes defining the industry they rep
resented were drilled by Mr.. W. L. Patter-
son.
A VERY PRETTY FEATURE.
This was an especially unique and pretty
feature OF the affair, as some of the cos
tunes worn were decidedly original in con-
ception and striking in reality.
Prof. Byron W. King very kindly rem
dered one selection, and was greatly appre-
ciated, as he has many friends among the q.
q. r. people, for whom he never refuses to
recite. 1.-THE Babies, "by Miss Mamie Roby,
who j ustly claims to have been a soldiers
baby herself, was admirably recited, and
with schottische by the orchestra the pro-
gramme was concluded.
The tables, seven of them in number, were
quickly filled by an ovster-hungry people,
TO whom the bivalves were served in every
known way. The ice cream department was
patronized literally after the oyster feast,
and the flower booth did considerable bust
ness.
The entertainment was given for the ben
eft of the G. A. r. Home at Hawkins sta
ton, and the financial results were very sat
isfactory.
