The Good Night Dlill and Shadow

The Good Night Dill and Shadow
Pantomina at the Town Hall, Tues
day evening, under the auspices of
the Junior Epworth League was de.
lightfuily plaued and executed The
actors were chosen from our little
people-bright and cunning ones
who acquitted themselves handsomely.

for bed. Everyone present who low
ed the little ones, and who was there
who didn't, enjoyed the entertainment.
