The Evolutionary entertainment
given under the auspices of the Y.
p. S. C., at the Bear Grove Cougre-
gational church, Tuesday evening,
by Miss Caroline E. Gates, of Extra,
was decided success. Miss Gates
selections We're delightfully."- new
and exceedingly we'll rendered. She
is an elocutionist of marked ability
being free from all atfectation. Her
rendition of Light From Over The
Range" was exceptionally fine. She
carried her audience with her to
the end, portraying most wildly
the pathos and simplicity OF the
scene in that lonely cabin Of the
dying miner. 1t is TO be hoped that

Gates services some time again in
the future.-Friday Atlantic Tele-
