A BIG SUCCESS.
The charity social given by the
Mems League OF the First Presbyter-
ian church Monday evening, was a
grand success. Enough eatables and
clothing were contributed by the
charitably disposed people Of Salem
to keep many a family of limited
means comfortable this winter. The
contributions consisted Of vegetables,
canned fruits, clothing of all sorts
and some wood. Those not bringing
catables or clothing dropped their
mite in the collection plate at the
door from which quite a sum was
realized. The cash and the contribu-
tions were taken possession Of by the
deacOn's committee and will be dis
tributed among the needy poor of the |
city. A most excellent musical and |
literary program was rendered COM
mencing about o'clock. The excel
lence of the entertainment was mani
tested by the audience, each number
on the program being heartily encored.
A large number were disappointed in
the absence Of Prof, Winkler who
was to execute piano solo. The pro-
gram was as follows:
Mandolin and Guitar duet, Messrs.
Hellenbrand and Payne.
Selection Presbyterian quartet,
Mesdames Virgins and Mcdowell,
Messrs. Cole and Virgins.
Recitation-Basil Wagner.
Solo, with guitar accompaniment
Mrs. f. A. Virgins.
Selection-Congregational quartet {
Misses Iona White and Meta Davis.
Messrs. j. o. Bozorth and II. G.. /
