The Band concert on Friday even
ing at the opera house, was very we'll
attended, as it richly deserved to be.
The selections by the band were very
well rendered, and every Mineral
Pointer who was present must have
been pardonably proud of the fact
that we have such n band in our city.
Not only this, but it deserves the sup
port and encouragement of our citi-
Zens, and we feel sure that they are
glad to welcome such an opportunity
as this concert afforded. The selec-
tions and recitations of Miss Wyman
were very pleasing feature of the
entertainment, and added that variety
which we are told is "the spice of
life, even in entertainments. Miss
Wyman is an artist, in her line.
We are glad to learn that the public
are to be favored with more concerts
in the near future; they entertain and
help good cause.
The Bazaar and Tea held by the
Rathbone Sisters, on Wednesday
evening, was great success, both
socially and financially. The amount
cleared was $51. 90. Tickets were sold
on two sofa cushions. knight James
d. Martin held the number which
drew the first one: and Miss Emily
Rogers the lucky number on the
second. The evening was fine and
the attendance very large. A good
supper was served for the small sum
of 10 cents. The affair reflected
credit upon the Sisters of Raven
Temple, who spared no efforts to
make it a success.
