Owing to the unpleasant evening on
which the new anu pOpulhi urdluds
"Imogene, or the Witches Secret" was
played through the kindness of Mr.. j.
W. Chandler, assisted by some of our best
dramatic talent, for the benefit of the
Ladies Aid", the attendance was very
small; consequently it has been thought
best to repeat it, and the second attempt
will occur on Thanksgiving evening. All
who attended on the first evening unite
in pronouncing it one of the finest plays
ever given here. The parts were all ad-
mirably taken, the play itself is of thrill
ing interest from beginning to end, and
the stage pictures which occur at inter
walls are very fine, particularly the one
where Imogene, dressed in the bridal Co.'S
tune, appears to her husband, who for
longtime has thought her dead. Music
will also help to the evenings enjoy
ment.
Mrs. Elite j. Latham, president of the
Ladies Aid Society, invites all of the
| ladies in this vicinity interested in the
approaching fair (Which is now appointed
| for Thursday afternoon and evening of
| Dec. 13th) to be present at her home on
| FRIDAY Of the present week. AS the
afternoons are so short it has been
| thought best to meet in the evening.
