morning service, is increasing in attendance

everything in readiness, which was
all accomplished by Tuesday night,
and the electric lights turned on, a
great number of lights having been

united effort was made to raise funds
Tor this noble undertaking.
The dinner and supper tables were
IN charge of number of ladies who
worked hard and faithfully to serve
everybody, and right we'll did they
succeed as everything was provided
in abundance.
The City Band, the Mechanics
Band, and the Mandolin Club were
present and rendered several fine con-
