ing to hear the concert announced to

Methodist church at the village. The

the management of the Andrews
Opera Co., stating that owing to the
serious illness of the little daughter
of Mr.. Andrews the engagement could
not be fulfilled, but that they would
be pleased to come at some future
date, if desired. This was great dis
appointment to all, but the best face
was put on the matter, and steps were

ing program:

the proceeds.

til midnight the remainder of the
evening was spent by the young peo-
pie present in dancing, many of the
