TOWN Torres. THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH,
A PLEAsANr SOCIAL EVENT,

The first sociable of the seaspn was held, last Friday evening, at the home of Mrs Scudder in the Street. There had been 6 delightful program planned and when carried out was thoroughly CT joyed by all. The clips distributed the first of the evening broke up any conventional ity there might otherwise have been, and started the tongues to running. The selection read by Mr 'Hewit and the poem by Mrs Morris were loudly enc0red. Miss Mabel Taylor gave . pretty piano selection. The feature of the evening was the Album in which were depicted all of MT Barker's relatives. These wore introduced by their proud relative and duly admired. Among the characters were the village beauty, the country parson (who if he had had ears might wish he was anything but parson), the village dude (very sweet to look upon), the mother-in.law (the typical kind), the younger brother (the one who plays pranks when his sister receives her gen. tleman feiends), the country editor (with the pen over his ear and the smooch of ink on his face), the alderman (whose proportions were extensive), and last but not least Aunt Dinah Ca veritable African beauty with her red turbsn on). After the last picture had been shown they stepped out of the album and march ed through the rooms to the tune of "Marching through Georgia" The evening closed with singing by all pres ent My Country Iris of Thee, ""Home, Sweet Home," and other familiar tunes. Mr Barker, in behalf of those present, tendered vote of thanks to Mrs Scudder and Miss Scudder for their hospitality.
