nicely performed by d. D. q. M James E..
Wentworth. The hall was literally packed
with the brethren and their friends, the fair
sex of Lincolnville seeming to be in the ma
jority. By the way, as this our first OPP
nit Of bai E
the ladies OF the town graced the occasion by
their presence, we most cheerfuly admit the
fact that Lincolnvile has the right of way
IN the argument that none can surpass her in
the loneliness and beauty of her daughters,
young or Old, Everything passed off smooth
ly and well The quartette, composed of Mr. .
f. E. French, Miss Oracle Mathews, Mr. A.
E. Andrews and Miss Minnie Mathews, with
Mrs. f. E. French as organist, sang some
very excellent pieces, and the playing and
the singing were highly appreciated and
heartily encored. AT the close of the exer-
cises the company We're invited to the dining
hall, where three large tables were heavily
laden with everything needful for replenish-
ing the inner man. After refreshments the
company returned to the hall to enjoy a
social time in renewing old friendships and
forming new acquaintance. Music and songs
were INDUCED in by the younger ones until
the final parting came, when all bid each
other good night and went their different
ways we'll pleased with the enjoyment the
evening had afforded them, and feeling very
grateful indeed to the members of King
David's Lodge for their generous hospitality
