The temperature took a sudden drop
the past week and our people have been
given touch Of autumn weather. Some
farmers OF this section reported frost, but
it was so slight as to cause little or no ap-
prehension. The weather has been de-
lightfully cool and oil stoves have been
resorted to in many cases. The cool
weather has stirred up housekeeping and
painters and paper hangers have begun |
to get in their work.
Good Samaritan Lodge, No. 8, l. o.
o. W., elected their officers Thursday |
evening, and they will be installed in
about two weeks. D. D. G. NJ, William |
Carnagy was visitor and called atten-
ton to the reception to Grand Sire John |
C. Goodwin to be given by the members
Of the order in the Opera House in Will
mington, on Wednesday evening next.
This reception is free to all members
OF the order and their friends but ad-
mission is bv ticket. Several members
of the local lodge will attend.
"There was a gathering of minstrel
lovers that packed the Opera House to
the doors last night, that assembled to
pay court to Barlow and Wilson's Min
strels, as they appeared on their annual
engagement. The performance consisted
entirely of modern minstrel attractions.
The people went to witness the fin de steele
minstrel of the season, and found them
leaders by several lengths, for every
thing went fast enough to keep the most
lively on the qui rire. Their efficient
agent told the truth when he said that
the company was better this year than
ever before. The performance abounds
in new features, which kept the audience
in continual state of hilarity, the hit OF
the evening being made by "the Great
Barlow and Wilson," The vocal num-
bers are gems Of the first water. The
company is far superior to the usual
standard attraction" = Cincinnati En-
quirer. The Barlow & Wilson's Minis
trels will be the attraction at the Middle
town Opera House, Thursday evening,
October 1st, and it is safe to say that the
people of this community who witnessed
the excellent program given by this com
pany last season, will want to see them
again.
