! has had charge of the firms business
during Mr.. O'Day's absence, is con.
| templating moving back to Grand
Rapids, his former home, but we
| voice the sentiments Of the whole
people. when we say, I'VE don't want
you to go During their stay here
Mr.. and Mrs. DAILY and family have
made scores of friends who will be
loaf to see them go. Mr.. Daily is not
fully decided as yet and before he
decides upon leaving he should be
| visited by our leading men and pre-
vailed upon to remain with US. we
need him. We need his influence. He
is another man like O'Day, and they,
we must repeat, are the kind OF men
who make prosperous town. They
| b0tn nave large interests here ana We
| must be selfish and demand them bot II.
On the return of Mr.. O. Day and family
they will occupy the present residence
of +. s. King on Third street, while

rooms over the King & Kluetz drug
store, which are being prepared for

The entertainment given by The
! Lawrence University Mandolin club
at the Methodist church, Friday
evening, was witnessed by crowd
| that, in size, equalled the seating
capacity of the building. The Man
dOlin club is of course an amateur
organization but their entertainment
was more enjoyable than that of many
professional troupes travelling through
| the country. Miss Pearnc Peake,
their soprano SolOiSt, has, "a fine voice
which she uses in really an artistic
manner and is withal a very sweet
singer. The guitar and mandolin
solos by Charles BrunOver were most
heartily encored and were deserving
of the great appreciation shown by
the audience. The orchestra consisted
of mandolins, guitars and yiolins
which proved very pleasing cOmbina
ton. They played a high grade OF
music eXcellently and did not forget
to treat the audience to a rea
college yell at the end Of the
| performance.
