About $50 people attended the
Cantata given by the Baptist people
at the city hall on Christmas night.
Everyone seemed we'll pleased with
the entertainment and it can GER
tainly be counted a success. AL
most all the participants had never

principal characters were Santa
Claus and Uncle Sam. Alex Tripod
appeared as Uncle Sam and DR..
Leslie as Santa Claus. Both did
their parts exceedingly well. We
regret that lack of time prevents US
from mentioning each character
separately and especially the little
boys and girls who played the parts
of pickininnies and also the ones
who represented the elves, fairies
and cupids.

longed to him and also the circum-
stances under which twas put there,
and you will also find that the same
was ordered removed by the Coun-

told the truth and he should have
his wine back and not have it in
