that they would give an entertainment
and social in the G. A. r. hall Monday
evening and serve lunch, and that the

joke, but it was a good drawing card.
The entertainment given consisted OF
songs, recitations, &c. Hot coffee,

which to clothe wisdom and truth is
with the garb OF good humor, spiced
