 The several entertainments given by the ladies of Forrest City, to which a small admission fee has been charged for the benefit of their respective | churches, have been in every case praiseworthy and creditable. and THE TIMEs is glad to see that there is no | abatement. and hopes there will be | none, of these pleasant occasions We l are not informed positively as to what the next will be, but we hear whisper | ings of a Canadian" tea for the bene- fit of the Episcopal church, next | week, a lawn party for the benefit of tho | Methodist church, by the Epworth | League, an entertainment at the Ope- rahouse in June for the benefit of the | Baptist choir organ fund, and another | | byterian church.
 "The faithful old choir and orches- | tra" desire to express their earnest | thanks to all who assisted them to make their ice cream and strawberry festival the success it was, 11th inst, The fact that an eight-gallon freezer had hole in it's bottom, caused the loss of that number of gallons of cream and hence interfered largely with the
 facilities for serving the large number of persons attending. The reEdition of choice baritone solos by Mir. T. Bruce | Pannill, and the whistling and auto
 harp performances of Mir Henry Ull-
 man. materially augmented the eD- joyments of the entertainment, and to them, especially, and to one and all,
 the choir and orchestra extend their
 heartfelt thanks. The proceeds
 amounted to S92 75, and we take it that
 their music IS appreciated.
