The custom of ladies removing their
hats at public meetings is being very
generally adopted in this city. At
church services the ladies are falling in
to line with this good move and it seems
to meet the approval of all. Of course
the pretty hats which the ladies of Ed
gerton wear are pleasing to the eye, but
at public meeting the audience as
rule favor getting a squint at the ex-
pressive features of the speaker.
Bowers and Busby's Minstrels at
Royal hall last Thursday evening was by
all odds the best minstrel show an Ed
gerton audience has had the pleasure of
attending. The first part contained
some good solo singing and the usual
number of jokes that were mostly new
and up-to-date. The olio and vaude-
vile novelties were we'll received. The
musical part of the program was first
class. Taken as whole everybody con-
sidered that they had their moneys
worth.
