An agent of an entertainment bureau
was in town last week conversing with
interested parties with view of pre-
senting course of entertainments dur
ing the coming winter. There is prob
ability that we may be greeted with en-
tertainments of high character, and we
trust the public will assist in the enter
prise and cause the project to be a source
of income to the originators.
Some of the business men of Spring
field have been trying to form company
TO build a modern MOTEL. This company
has at last been formed and has filed it's
application for charter with Secretary
of State Brownell. The corporation will
be known as the Brown Hotel company,
named from Hon. Adna Brown, one of
Springfield's leading business men and
the chief mover in this enterprise. Better
hotel facilities are badly needed and
these men are the ones to make it sue
cess.
The past week has been one of I'M
lucky occurrences. Liberty Brown was
cut on the thumb and forefinger of the
left hand at Jones & Lamson's shop,
which will probably necessitate the am
, putation of the finger. Frank Sexton
inflicted a severe cash in his hand at the
same shop; Willie O'Connell injured his
! knee and leg at the wooden mill causing
number of stitches to be taken and John
Bourke is suffering from sore hand. 1t
is evident that wave of ill luck is
broOding over us and if there is any re-
liability in the would be benefit orders it
is well brought into action in these
cases.
A pleasant occasion was the regular
fall concert pres ented at the Town hall

The words Temperance Banner Con-
:, cert leads US away in the strains of
thought. Who are the suppressors of
the liquor traffic? to whom is due the
prosperous condition of the present
American citizen? Who are directing the
: rising generation to a moral view of the
! vice caused by the pernicious fire water?
7 The hall presented gorgeous display
r of banners, varying in color and each
| offset with short proverbial saying, be-
;. speaking the evil of rum and the benefit
1 of temperance. About 80 children in
= black and white were seated on the
/ stage on platform rising perpendicu-
: larly to the top of the scenery hangings.
Y Some had banners, others welded the
. fan and kerchief to good effect. The
. recitations were of remarkable taste in
selection and too much cannot be said OF
!, their rendition which, with music inter
q spersed, made the evening as enjoyable
. as dime could bring. We cannot toe
: highly praise the actions of the workers
! for this noble cause. May their work be
! crowned with success, and may they ii
a purer life, reap the deserved fruits OF
their earthly toll.
