derrln at their nome, Bonnie Olenn,
for the benefit of the Presbyterian
chapel fund, came off, according to an.
nouncement, Tuesday evening of last
week On account, however. of the
unfavorable condition of the weather
the attendance was not as large as il
would otherwise have been. Never.
theless, there were about fifty persons
present, large number considering
the disadvantages. The refreshments
consisting of ice cream, cakes. lemon
ade, fruits. cigars, etc., were all that
could be desired, and we're disposed OF
at remarkably reasonable charges, adj
ding materially to the chapel fund. All
who attended seemed to pass the time
pleasantly. The entertainment was
repeated Tuesday evening of this week

with Chinese lanterns and other Access
series; this time there was larger at
tendance and much better financial re-
suits

turn from the last car of peaches, and

Reckless, fast driving on the streets,
especially in turning corners with
teams, is matter upon which the city
council should take some action. 1t

This is no small matter and should
