which was to have been held this week
Thursday evening, has been postponed un-
til next week Thursday evening. About
90 names have been secured, and with Miss
Gertrude E. Leach as director and Miss

success.

home of her step son, w. G. Stevenson,
| Sunday, aged 7S years, after a long illness
of consumption. Mrs. Stevenson was a ma
tive of Sutton, Canada, but came here at
the time of her marriage about 40 years
ago. She had only one relative living, the
step-son with whom she lived. She was
member of the Methodist church, having
united with it in her girlhood. By her
earnestness and liberality she was great
help to the society and will be greatly
missed. Funeral services were held at the
house Wednesday afternoon, Rev. f. j.
Deane officiating. The burial was in Pine
Grove cemetery.
II. II. Day is enjoying visit from his
brother, Norman Day, whom, until last
week Wednesday, he had not seen for AZ
years. In February, 1862, Mr.. Day went
to California, where he remained for sew
eral years, removing from there to Rich
mond, Utah, where his home is at the
present time. Many changes have taken
place in all these years. Mr.. Day has a
large family, wife and ten children, and
now, when he makes his first visit East,
he finds that the home friends are mostly
sleeping in the church-yards, only one
brother, Hoyt II. Day, remaining of his
immediate family. His own health is
broken, and that fact coupled with his de.
sire to visit the friends and scenes of his
earlier years, induced him to make the
journey.
The banj o recital to be given at the town
hall Wednesday evening, Oct. %, by Al.
fred A. Farland, promises to be one of the
finest entertainments of the season, and un.
doubtedly will attract large audience
Mr., Farland captivates his audiences every
where by his wonderful mastery of the
banjo, and by the exquisite skill with which
he renders both popular and classical mu
sic. From all over the country press no
tices are enthusiastic in praise of his per
formances. From the Springfield Union
''The wild power with which he swept tbs
strings, the tenderness of his softer pas
sages and the harmonic effects produced
by the playing of three and four parts al
once, can hardly be praised too highly
From the Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Daily Eagle
Nothing like MIR. Farland's playing ha
ever been heard here. He held the audienc,
breathless with his rendering of Hauser'
Cradle song, and thrilled them with hi
marvellous execution of the finale to tn,
William Tell overture and the Pepper Tar
antele." Thus we might quote hundreds
but go to hear him and be convinced tina
Mr.. Farland is the foremost banioist in tn,
world. Sale of seats opens Saturday, Oct
21, at 10 a. M, at G. A Hollands.
