street for a couple of days the latter part
OF last week, preaching the doctrines OF
what is generally called ''The Flying

compelled to request him to cease his
meeting, as it was impossible for people
to pass along the sidewalk. The miss

side street or on the railroad right of
way, but he left town instead.

Dennis at the opera house last Wednes-
day night, was attended by quite an ap-
preciative audience, although the stormy
weather prevented many from coming.
The program was an entertaining one,
and all the numbers were we'll rendered.
Mrs. Dennis and DIR. Dennis each sang
we'll, as did Miss Lorena Saylor. The
readings by Mrs. thinner and Mrs. Gil

as did the instrumental music furnished
by Mrs. Latta, Miss Robinson and E. A.
Bannister. 1t is to be hoped that more
OF theso concerts will be given.
