evening, and large and appreciative
audience was present at the concert.
The program was one which any lover
of music could not fail to appreciate.
Space and time prevent US from max

it to say that all the numbers we're
par excellence. The local talent as
sisted nicely in making the concert a
huge success.
The home of MIR. and Mrs. Olof o.

scorched and other contents of the
room suffered from the flames. The

house, 80 no further damage resulted.
A lighted match is supposed to have
been thecause.
