The adde's of Trout creek and vicinity
gave a very enjoyable entertainment at
the school house on Trout creek last Fri
day evening. The occasion was the closing
of the summer term of sehooland after the
closing exercises by the pupils, consisting of
Rotations, songs and tableaux, tables were
brought in and guests partook OF a boun-
teous supper. The school exercises were
brief and exceptionally well presented.
Fruit and lemonade stands were continu-
ally surrounded by eager buyers, while the
tables were filed four successive times by
the merry guests. Provisions seemed with
out limit, all was well cooked and tastefully
served. The receipts were $50. netting over
$40, much higher than was expected, and
were presented to Rev. Geo. Edwards, ofth
Presbyterian church. The originators OF
the entertainment only expected it to be a
~neighporhood affair, but the news spread
and several came twenty miles. The at
tendance was about ninety. Lack OF space
only prevents us from writing more fully of
the evenings enjoyment.
