The secretary's report for the year
ending May 1st last shows the high
est number of babies during the year
to have been twenty-five and the low
est number fourteen. From the treas
urer's report it is learned that it costs
about $500 a year to maintain it.
Last year the principal receipts came
from subscriptions and membership
some debt on the building. Then many
kindly people sent in donations of
books and food
Surely this is worthy cause, and
the entertainment hall should be
crowded every evening. The advance
sale of seats will begin Tuesday, Aug.
q, at 9 a. m. at the Grand opera
house.
