The committee on general arrange
ments for the Alumni banquet have
decided to hold it the same night of
the graduation, Friday night. They
expect now to hold it in the basement
of the Methodist church and all are
getting themselvesin readiness to have
one of the best ever held. The decor
ating committee, we understand. are
hard at work planning and arranging
details so as to make the basement not
only beautiful, but attractive.
The ball game, last Saturday on the
fair grounds, between Audubon and
Manning, was quite interesting but re-
suited in the defeat of the home team,
much to the regret of the hackers of
boys, though it was impossible to be
otherwise. The interval between in
nlngs was i~nterspersed with q few
rounds of combat that was not fistic.
The contestants in the ring was local
talent but the performance did not in
dictate that they We're amateurs.
The Columbian Club met, last week,
and decided that Audubon should cele.
brate. They have seen other towns
not forget the small boy with his bun
die of fire crackers popping into a flame
that which is within him that creates
love of home and love of country and
love of the flag. They have heard the
roar Of the cannon f%irecracker that
doomed as nothing else could: those
insoluble ties that makes the Ameri-
can soldier the first to scale all walls
and breastworks and leave him to
guard the imperial palace of China.
There is no reason why Audubon
should not celebrate. Her people have
money, patriotism aud energy. There
is no reason why they should be com
PEELED to go to other towns. But it
takes energy and money to make it a
success. The ladies are willing to give
the energy and the others will give
the money. We trust their scheme
vii! meet with the approval of the
business men, who will help them ia
every way possible.
