Peoples Dramatic club went to Bristol
on Tuesday and gave there that evening,
the opening night of the Catholic fair,

audience was of good size, the weather
and the condition of the roads considered
and the play gave general satisfaction.

Heaxt of the Methodist church. There
were also services at the Catholic and
Episcopal churches.
