Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1892-04-08

Hadheld on TUESDAY evening. fully
one hundred persons responded to the
generous invitation Of the ladies and
every one felt fully paid for coming.
An interesting feature of the evening
was report from the ladies as to the
manner in which each had earned one
dollar for the "New Church" " fund.
The report was given in rhyme and
read by Mrs. James Brewer. The ex-
pedients to which the ladies resorted
were very novel, ranging all the way
from white-Washing a fence to Gro
cheting a cart cushion. The evening
was interspersed with music by Misses
Jacka, Hadfeld, Mr.. Kober and others,
and all regarded the entertainment as
a milestone in the social events Of
Mineral Point.
We are in receipt of an Arbor Day
circular, issued by the State Superin-

schools, in which he urges that even
greater interest be taken in the Arbor
Day of '92 than in '91, and that the ex-
ercises in the schools may be in prog
ress before the Governors ATbOr Day
proclamation. A list Of suitable trees
for planting in the school enclosure,
and the best manner of planting is writ
ten up, with a program of exercises for
the convenience Of teachers, who are
to substitute Arbor Day
for the regular class work,
and to have an account published in
their local paper, and send a copy to
the State superintendent.
The first entertainment after the
Lenten Season will be the New Eng

object is a laudable-one to obtain
funds for charitable purposes. The
baked beans, brown bread, pumpkin
pies, etc, will be of the choicest, and
those who attend will not regret the
25 cents their supper cost.
