WEST DES MONIES.
The people in the neighborhcod of
the new church were on last Monday
evening treated to an entertainment
that was indeed an evening of great
enjoyment. 1t was given by Miss r.
Anna Morris, and consisted first of q
touching reference to her early life,
several years of which were spent on a
farm short distance above the iron
bridge, she also taught her first term of
school in Union school house, Jefferson
township, and her coming again to the
same neighbOrhood, almost in the
shadow of her old roof tree, to give an
entertainment brought out an audience
that was indeed fiattering compli-
ment to her, and we believe from the
way she entered into the work, the
presence of her old neighbors, friends
and pupils was fully appreciated. AT
ter the preliminary talk, as above
stated, she gave lecture, every word
of which is true, on Physical Culture"
and Hygiene" She then gave on ex-
hibition of her skill with Indian clubs.
There was then several recitations, all
of which were rendered in very touch,
ing and impressive manner. The titles
were, "Berrovia," a very good piece, and
SANDY Mcdonald" comical piece that
just suited the crowd, the next was the
'ChariOt Race" from Ben Hur, heavy
piece that the speaker did full Justice
The evenings entertainment was then
closed by rendering "Rock of Ages" a
pantomime sang by Miss Lille TrotteI
and J. G. Harold, it was indeed the
most touching thing we have witnessed
for years. A the close there was 6
unanimouse rising vote of thanks giver
for the evenings entertainment. PeO
pie here are justly proud of Mrs. Nor
ris' success, whose name has long before
this spread from ocean to ocean anC
will only be to glad to welcome hel
back again.

Real estate is holding its own in this

for selling simply because he gets q
fancy price. They will look a good
while before they will find a better
place.
The people of this vicinity are very
quiet politically. We have not had any
speaking to amount to anything as yet
We suppose that the chairman of the
county committee thinks Cedar is all
right anyway. Well, guess it is, but
we would like to hear the political
questions discussed from a political
standpoint, and we would especially
like to hear Major Lacey. But we will
promise a good report from Cedar
whether we hear any speaking or not.
