The snow birds are very Plentiful at the
present time and seem very tame and are
very ready to come in hucks around dwell
ings and pick up all that is given them TO
eat. Some are feeding them regularly
three times day and they seem TO know
just the time when Their meals are ready
for them. We have learned from travellers
in some of the foreign dties that doves are
fed at the cities expense and at the ringing
OF the bell at O'Clock 1. NJ. every day large
tlocks come from all over the city to par
take of the food furnished them, but the
snow birds are even wiser and come with
out any signal to call them together.
The writer has been requested to give
notice that the Dorcas guild will present
their cantata Friday evening, Feb. 23, and
knowing from experience how much labor
it cost to get up whatever we invite the
public to, we bespeak for this entertain
ment full house. There are two churches
in this place, each with their ladies' aid,
Dorcas guild and Hadassah league societies,
that are each trying to raise money in va
rious ways and it seems as though the
reciprocity plan would work finely if it
could be well carried out in the way of
patronizing each others entertainments
Extend this notice to your friends and all
come,
