At the close of Miss Lille Crees'

At the close of Miss Lille Crees'
school, down at the Center school
house, last Friday night, she gave the
patrons an exhibition that for the
amount of merriment crowded into so
short a time has not for many moons,
if ever, equalled in Hamlin township
and was witnessed by as many people
as could be crowded into the spacious
building. Miss Mamie Tanner and
Little Carrie Gault came out from
Extra and during the evening the for
mer furnished the audience with some
excellent mandolin music and the lat
ter little lady sang them some pleas
ing songs. Then came a dialogue,
"The Smith Family" in which Miss
Lille Crees personated the old lady
Mrs. Smith and Tom White acted the
old man; then there were two girls in
that Smith family, so Emma Crees
and Eva Davis played they were the
girls and the two Smith boys we're
Glarnie Davis and Lee Wissler, son
of Rev. Fl. l.. Wissler, of Extra; and
such time as they did have, just kept
the crowd in roar Of laughter from
start to finish. The next thing was a
tableau, The Professor" which was
finely portrayed by John McKibben's
little ve-year-old boy seated on a
bench with spectacles astraddle of his
nose and intently reading his bible.
"The Destitute Family" was the
next thing on the program, and this
was admirably played by Miss Emma
Crees as the poor woman and Tom
White as the poor man, Dolly Dry
den, as the hired girl of this poor
couple, and g Toots" Dimick, Clyde
Dimick, Lee Wissler, Clarney Davis,
Maggie Skinner and Hazel Skinner,
as the children of this poor man and
his poor wife. Then there was an
exercise representing the seven days
in the week, by seven girls, that was
a fine piece of acting and fairly held
the audience spell bound for few
moments. Taking it all together twas
the finest thing we ever saw in our
midst and was finely executed from
beginning to end. When all was said
and done and Miss Lille was resting

memory.
