UNIONTOWN.

The entertainment given here Christ
mas evening was pleasing one, and en-
joyed we believe by all present. The
public had great expectations concern
ing the recitations of Miss Eva NJ Shontz,
and in this they were not disappointed.
The report of the nickels given out one
year ago was amusing. Space will not
admit of detailed account. Perhaps
ninety were given out, and the sum re-
ceived will probably aggregate about S75.
The largest increase was that of Chal-
mers Gillespie, boy of about 10 or IL
years of age. He invested his nickel in
broom corn seed; had the brush manu-
factured into brOoms, giving one-half for
making up. He realized S4.85, receiving
nice bible as premium. The next was
Miss Nettie yelling, who reported $.445,
realized by buying cheap and selling dear.
An anthem was sung by Messrs. Price
and Wilson, assisted by Misses Dunbar
and Lee, and Messrs. Ritchey and Lee
The UniOntown Band furnised the music
for the occasion.

that day, and the dinner was very nice.

cles, nice suit of clothes, S4 in cash, a
shoat and load of coal. Representa-
