ZOAR BRIDGE.

Sunday school at 10.45 a. m., preach ing at 30 p. m. Choir meets Thursday evening at the residence of Mrs k. Hin- man.
 On Monday evening, November 12, the Wo king Girls Club of Derby will give an entertainment, for the benefit of the Methodist church of Zoar Bridge, in the Old Mill hall at 7.30 p. m. The admis- sion will be 15 cents. Some one may ask, "And where is Old Mill hall?'' Let us answer that the ladies of the church have been wide awake during the past, and along with other good works, right ly decided that they needed hall in the which they could hold their entertain ments and sociables. The posses. ion of such place, they argued, would save them much labor in decorating and changing about various articles of furni- ture in the church every time they had a ''speciaP' on the order of things. The labor thus saved they reckoned they they could place on the entertain ment itself and thus give their friends and patrons a more perfect program. With these things in view the ladies, un- der the leadership of Mrs Robert Hin- man, went house hunting, excuse me, mean hall hunting, and finally settled on the commodious building formerly used by the Messrs Radcliffe for factory pur poses. Having procured the building, immediately they commenced to revolu- tionize things on the inside, and have kept the battle hot until now they have a home to which they need not fear to invite their most fastidious friends. What shall we name the hall? We'll they must have something right up to date. It must be pretty, attractive, stylish, and one full of meaning. Could any one sen- sible person, or croaker, have chosen one more suitable than that which they se- lected? Old Mill hall it is, and may it ev- CT be. Monday evening will the grand opening plight. Let us all be on hand to take part in it. We all want to be there for it may be that Old Mill hall will be- come historical spot in years to come when you and have passed away. The hall may still stand and be the center of all Christian gaities in this vicinity What splendid thing it will be for your greatAgrandchildren to be able to say, ''why my great-grandfather or my great. grandmother attended the first entertain ment given in the hall!'' And just imag inc the feelings of your successors if they are obliged to listen to these remarks of others and then if asked as to the attend ance of their predecessors, will be oblig- ed to say, "No they were not there, they were too tired, little indisposed, etc." How would that look at the side of your name in history? Remember the possi- bilities of the future and have some feel ing for your descendants yet to come. Be there in force to welcome the ladies from Derby. Be there to show your ap- proval of this forward movement on the part of your lady friends. Be there to congratulate them on their success, for success is predicted. Be there above all things else to have good evenings en- joyment. Come Stevenson! Come OK ford!! Come Quaker's Farms!!! Come Hull's Hill!!!! Come Bradleyville!!!!! Come Monroe!!'!!
