A DRAMATIC SUCCESS.

AS the first public entertainment at
 the new hall here occurred on Wednes-
 day and Thursday evening os last week
 it was too late to mention in THE BEE.
 The affair was success in every respect.
 The first night upward of 100 were turn" ed away for want of room to stand. The
 second night all found seats but the hall
 was nearly full. In the rendering of the
 melodrama, ,"Only Farmers Daughter" ," it is difficult to state who of sthe charac- ters did the lest. Hearty thanks are due to Mrs NJ. H. Denslow, under whose management the drama was arranged and rehearseo. She seemed to be the power which animated the entire troupe and also led them on to the most credi- table success. Mrs F. J. Hosford as "Mrs Harold Lennox' could scarcely be excelled while Miss Lottie Brown as the Maid seemed to have the right con- ception of her part. Little Miss Oxford as the child of Mir and and Mrs Lennox, was so sweet and winning it was hard to believe from beginning to end that she was simply acting. Durwood Granniss as the villain "Jack," took his part ad- Howard Hopkins took his part well as an ''Irish butler" B. G. Humphrey made 8 model "Down East Farmer,' while NJ. H. Denslow, M. D., as Harold Lennox" assumed character be could not have better taken if he had followed the stage as a profession. Charles Jones acted admirable the part of 'sMother Stork.'' The net profits to the hall association for the two nights was s25O.

ALIVE.
 The social department of the Epworth League gave a moonlight social on Lake Winnemaug, last Monday evening. A large number were present. The grove was prettily illuminated with Chinese lanterns. A collection was taken to pay for making the boats free for the even- ing. Ice cream and temperance drinks were in abundance. Hard's bus started from the Methodist church at 7.15 p. m., returning at II p. m. The fare for the round trip was 10c. Everybody was in. vited and there was general acceptance of the invitation not only to be present but to have good time as we'll. Such pleasant entertainments gives us a new lease of life and makes us feel that it is good to be alive.
