Moran Herald: The entertain
ment given by Miss WEIGH, assisted
by the Moran orchestra, was a grand
success. The Presbyterian church
was filled with admirers of musical
and evolutionary talent. The audi
ence was not only large, but was an
appreciative one. Miss Floy Nc
Glashan's primrose Schottische"
was rendered by the orchestra and
was favorably received by the audi
ence. Miss WEIGH and the Moran or
chestra are always favorably receiv-
ed and draw large and apprecitaive
audiences.
We have been pleased this week to
make the acquaintance of Mr.. J. A.
Robinson, who with his family, ar
rived here Tuesday from Jasper coun-
ty, Indiana with the expectation of
making Kansas their home. Mr..
Robinson expects eventually to buy
farm, but he prudently refrains from
making the investment until he has
been here long enough to find whether
he will be pleased with the country,
although up TO this time he says he
has not seen anything about it that
he would change if he could. Mr..
Robinson has rented Uncle George
Browns house, and will probably
spend the summer there.
The meetings of the Presbyterian
Missionary Society are always pleas
ant, but the one held last Tuesday
afternoon at Mrs. J. P. Wright's was
uncOmmOnly so. To begin with Mrs.
j. NJ. Mason brought to the meeting a
number of Chinese curiosities, among
them dagger formed from Chinese
coins, the tiny shoe of a high caste
lady, and an embroidered crepe
shawl. And then to end with, after
an unusually interesting meeting, a
delightful lunch was served at which
genuine Chinese tea was served from
a genuine Chinese teapot. The oc-
casion was very pleasant one, and
those present feel grateful to Mrs.
Wright and Mrs. Mason for a most
enjoyable hour.
