lie church have been beautifully
graded and sown to lawn grass and a
broad cement walk from the street to
the front of the church put down,

the handy work of Andy McAndrew

Although Ten Nights In A Bar
Room is as old as the hills, when pro-
duced by a company of first class
artists, such as Mr.. Palmer carries,
there is always something new and
original, to be heard and seen. 1t is
very instructive to the rising genera
tion; fathers and mothers having chill
dren should take them to see this
great pastoral play. 1t teaches a
great moral and a lesson. At opera
house, Monday, May 18th. One ladies'
free, ticket with one paid reserved
seat admission.

Miss Ella Goodall met with quite an
experience last Saturday, as we'll as
did some others. She was at Vernon
with a party of pleasure seekers, when
two or three of the girls got into a
boat that was anchored to the shore
with rope. While playing in the
boat the rope broke, and the boat
shot out into the stream. Frightened |
at the thought of getting away from
shore, two OF the girls jumped into the
water, when Miss Goodall rushed IN
after them, into water nearly up to
her neck, and succeeded in pulling the
two girls to shore. 1t was close call
and courageous act on the part of
Miss Goodall. Republican.
