wick entertained fifty OF their friends at the
home of the latter on Wednesday evening.
The evening was spent In q. most enjoyable
manner. fine program of music, reading,
ETC.. being carried out, after which refresh
ments were served. Those present vote it
the most enjoyable affair of the season.

DIR. d. II. Lamb, assisted by Drs. Hume
and Phippen, on Monday performed most
successful and difficult operation on Joseph
Robbins, of Brighton, Livingston county.
Mr.. Robbins is "A years old and for 2 years
acts on the eyes, one being entirely blind.
The cataract on one eye was removed and
the sight restored. An operation on the
other eye will be performed soon. Many an
afflicted might profit by consulting DR..
Lamb.
The officers of Wilson Tent X. o. 4. M.
were installed Monday evening by Past
Commander Jopling. Sir Knights were
present from Laingsburg, Henderson, Oak
ley and Chaplin. At 10 o'clock the Com
mander received nete inviting the Knights
to the basement of L. l.. Brewers store,
where banquet had been prepared by the
ladies. Music was furnished for the occa-
sion by the Reuby Banjo Club.
Rev. j. r. Reitzel's lecture Wednesday
evening in the armory was attended by a
large number of people who were highly
pleased at the description of Damascus and
the visit to Thebes. He certainly saw all
there was in the country through which he
passed and he has a most entertaining way
of telling it. He said few words in clos
ing of thanks to the hearers who had ac-
corded him so many hospitable receptions
during his stay in the city.
The "Schuberts" not only sustained their
reputation as the finest concert company
that has visited Owosso but added to it by
their magnificent concert Tuesday evening.
The quartette was perfection and individ-
ually they are without rivals. Miss Hughes,
harpiste, is most pleasing player and the
combination of harp and pipe organ music
carried away the hearers. Miss Reade,
recitationist, has fine voice and pretty
expression that made her work appreciated
by all. The church was crowded and the
eight encores showed how they appreciated
the numbers.
The announcement that Secretary George
t. Campbell, of the Young Mems Christian
Association. has resigned to accept call to
Pittsburg, Penn, causes general regret on
all sides. The directors have known for
some time that several associations have
had Mr.. Campbell in view and were desir-
Gus of securing his services. The character
of the work done In OwOssO under his leader
ship has given the association and Mr.. G.
far more than a State reputation, and the
wonder is that we have been able to retain
him until this time. The position at Pitts
burg is desirable one, bringing the secre-
tary into touch with many of the leading Y.
M. c. A. workers of the country. Mr..
Campbell will begin work there about
March 1st.
The pulpit of the Congregational church
was occupied last Sunday by Rev. Phillip
Krohn, d. d.. pastor of Lake View Con-
gregatiOnal church, Chicago, who despite q
severe cold, preached two unusually inter
esting and forcibe sermons. DR.. Krohn is
very energetic and successful church
worker, an exceedingly pleasant converse
tionalist and man Of wide experience in
the affairs If life. His delivery is excellent.
He speaks entirely without notes and with
great emphasis. His morning sermon was
on the love OF Christ and its usefulness al
all times to all men. In the evening he took
the Bible as his subject and from all points
he showed its value to men, the great work
it had done for all nations where it had
been used. His appearance is very striking,
reminding one of the famous DR.. Talmage.
1t is hoped that DR.. Krohn will come again
Personal.
