THAT RzcEpr1on.

The public installation, entertain
ment and supper given by and under
the auspices of the A. .. u. w. last
Friday night was a fitting orderly jolli-
tication for the first day of the new
year. The lodge met in the A. o. U.
w. hall and marched to the Opera
House at about $50 where the newly
elected officers were duly installed in
the presence of over three hundred
spectators. After this followed selec-
ton of instrumental music by Mrs. G.
ID. Rackley. which was followed by a
short address on the advantages to be
derived by membership IN the A. D. U.
W., its charity and fraternity, by Hon.
G. w. Mckay. His address was very
instructive to those who were not IA
miliar with the workings of the order.
This was followed by several selecti ons
of vocal and instrumental music by diff
terent persons. among them Miss Anna
Knight on the harp and piano, Miss
Hllda Stevens in a vocal solo, won't
You Buy My Pretty Flowers, 'and sew
eral choice selections by Messrs. Wal
Stad and Chase on the violin and piano.
The music was all first-cIass and the
musicians were repeatedly encored.
The entertainment, so far as stage per-
formances were concerned, closed by a
skilled performance by Mr.. Jesse Talia-
ferro on the tambourlne, dressed in a
unique negro costume, and an lnstru-
mental quartette by the Pixley min
strel club by Messrs. Taliaferro, Talia-
ferro, Groves and Snodderly. In both
of the renditions Miss Knight played
the accompaniment on the piano. For
fun and laughter these performances
took the cake. Jes. Taliaferro knows
how to handle the tambourine and i'm
dancing jig he is all right. Jim Talia-
ferro brought everything out of the
haIp that was in it, while Groves and
Snodderley handled the fiddle and bones
In regular old negro fashion. The boys
had the color" on them and their &C.
lions were up-toda They will some
day find their fortunes with some great
theatrical company. This closed the
entertainment and 1. w. Stout an
nounced that the supper in the room be-
low was waiting. Of course it didn't
require second sound of DR.. Stout's
gentle voice to start the crowd to NOV.
ing and in few seconds the eating
apartment was packed. Well we can't
say what else happened. Suffice it to
say that we got at the first table and
we left others to ''chew the rag" while
we took ours in turkey, pork, beef, cab
bage, tomatoes, pickles, pie, cake, etc.,
etc. AS luck had it, however, there
was enough left for the rest of them
and if anybody went away hungry we
failed to hear of it.
The finishing touches were put on the
occasion by social dance which broke
up at about O'Clock, a. m.
The crowd was large one, consisting
OF many people from the country.
Quite delegation was in from Sharon,
Elwood and other points equally dis
tant. The A. D. U. w. Knows how to
entertain, as all who were in attendance
will readily testify.
