The CT rstomathian literary society OF
the Christian church held its regular
weekly session on last Friday night at the
church. A very interesting program
was rendered. conf istng Of recitation,
"0ur Folks" by Rev. Rose; recitation
by Ralph Vanbuskirk; select reading by
John Curry; paper by Harry Jackson,
on "Thoroughness Of Training" and an
essay by Miss Mary Lee; minute speech,
by Mr.. Ed. Campbell and recitation by
Miss Haye. All OF the different selec-
tons were well rendered, leaving the
critic very little room for criticism. The
usual 70 minutes for conversation was
taken advantage Of by all with an
endeavor to see who could say the most
within the time allotted. At the bust.
ness meeting which followed the recess,
Sam Nutting was elected secretary for
the ensuing quarter, aud Messrs. Wander
mer, Morgan and Badger and Miss Fred
ricks were elected active members. A
great deal Of interest is being shown BY
the young peotle connected with the
society and it is an opportunity for adj
vancement in literary training that none
of our young people can afford to miss.
The dues are so cents for initiation and
% cent? per quarter. Application for
membership can be made to any of the
members.
The long looked-for and fondly expected
Ladies Quartette concert was on the
boards at Mason's opera house Wednes-
day evening. The programme was GER
tainly artistic geographically, and with
pleasure the large and very appreciative
audience were introduced TO the quar-.
tette's name, viz: Enterpe. The nature
OF the entertainment was somewhat diff
ferent from the general concert given by
local talent, but the names OF those TAX.
ing part was assurance enough that each
number would be of high order, and
none of those who attended were disap.
pointed, as was evident from the repeated
encores. Specially, Miss Bailey, who is
already popular favorite pianist, excell-
ed even herself, and the rendition OF the
"Lost Chord" by the quartette was ex-
ceptionally fine. The receipts were large
and the library fund, which always
should be well filed, received another
impetus.
There will be meeting of the Yakima
County Teachers association at the Col.
apbia building Saturday, February 3,
1884,, The time will be largely occupied

recent state convention. In addition to

present Course Of Study" Mrs. Stair
will favor the association with q reading;
Mr.. Mcintosh will discuss "Mannerisms
versus Manners" Suitable music will
be ARRANGED for by Mr.. Eshelman. 1t is
hoped that all who have engaged in this
work, and all who may wish to do 80,
will be present and assist in making this
meeting what it should be; there is GER
tainly need Of association work.

A. w. Ekland, Jr., of the South Bend
Land company, of South Bend, this state,
was in the city the first of the week look
ing after his interest in the Sunnyside
Lumber company. He reports the city
with the deep water harbor to be in excel
lent condition, having eclipsed the bal
ance OF the harbor cities in riding upon
the crest OF the financial crisis, and they
are awaiting patiently the time when the
two hest Of the smaller cities OF Washing
ton will have railroad connections.
A new feature in socials will be the
guess social given by the Christian En-
deavor society of the Christian church on
Wednesday evening, January 81, at the
residence OF Mrs. Flint. A small admis-
sion will be charged the gentlemen at the
door. Before lunch, however, the ladies
will be required to pass in review behind
a curtain, through which the gentlemen
are to guess the identity OF each, the sue
cessful guessor to accompany the guessee
to supper.
The charity ball at the opera house last
Friday evening was not an unmixed sue.
cess financially, but very pleasant affair
is reported by those who attended fol
social enjoyment. Not much more than
enough money was taken in to defray
necessary expenses-a fact which is NOT
only deplorable, but which reflects not a
little on those to whom the eyes OF the
community are usually turned for gener.
Gus contributions to charity.
