On New Years Eve upward of one hun
dred people assembled at a newly. built
barn on the premises of T. NJ. Grimshaw,
in Costumes township. to enjoy the holi-
day exercises of the Wilson school, Miss
B. A. VIM, teacher. The barn was taste
fully decorated and fitted up with staging
and large stove, something so necessary
to comfort these evenings. The manner in
which the children performed their literary
exercises was creditable to themselves, and
bore evidence of the most careful training
by their teacher, and was fayorably com.
mented upon by those present.
The Christmas tree proved to be most
beautiful one, loaded down with orna-
ments and presents, which.were distributed
by real living Santa Claus.
After the distribution of presents the
ladies passed around delicious cakes to
those present. The floor was then cleared,
and few plain quadrilles were danced by
the little children, much to the amusement
of all present.
The affair was complete success and
much credit is due the teacher and few
other young ladies who did so much to
make it so.
The exercises were as follows: Address,
