that aim is accomplished in no small de-

its cheerful way through five acts and

ing feature was ''cake walk" which was
participated in by five couples. The cake
was won by H. K. Whitney and Pauline

which would have suggested points to a
typical southern negro. Following this
feature was march by Uncle Sam and

what followed. The curtain rose, show
ing a naval engagement between United
States cruiser and a Spanish torpedo boat
in the harbor of Havana. The cruiser
won, exploding the torpedo boat. The eff
feet of the scene was decidedly realistic,
Refreshments were served during the even
ing.
The ''neck-tie party" by Protective
grange Wednesday evening was a distinct
social success. Over 100 persons partici-
pated. The women deposited neck ties
with the ticket seller, keeping and wearing
duplicates themselves. The male patrons
bought the ties at the ticket office and
then sought out the duplicates with the
understanding that they should take the
wearers to supper. Dancing followed the
supper.

PIedged-.-FinaI Meeting to BE Held
Jan. IA.
At an adjourned meeting of the direc-
tors of the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton on Saturday evening last it was vot-
ed after full discussion to recommend to
the association that the rooms be closed
and its affairs wound up unless the public
contribute financial aid sufficient to do the
work which ought to be done during the
coming year. A meeting of the associa-
ton will be called Monday evening, Jan.
"a, to decide the question. The officers
and directors of the association believe in
the work and the need of such an institU-
ton in this village, carried on along the
usual lines. AS evidence of this they have
contributed go per cent of the money ex-
pended during the past ten years. In con-
sideration of this fact they do not feel JUS
titled in carrying the burden any longer
unless a corresponding interest is mani
tested by those who would strengthen the
moral and religious influences which sur
round their own boys and those of others.
During the past three years $500 per an
mum has been pledged. -, directors of
the association believe tina: = carry on
the work successfully an income of $2500
is necessary. Therefore if the community
would have this work continued another
year they must give additional pledges of
$1,000 on or before Jan. "a to the treasurer.
