Leland T. Powers must have felt highly
complimented with being greeted by such
a large and apprecistive audience Wednes-
day evening; and he was probably thereby
| inspired to impersonate David Copperfield
in his best manner. II we could have all OF
Dickens novels impersonated by Mr.. Pow
ers their interest and value as character
| studies would be greatly enhanced. This
evening with Dickens was certainly an en-
| joyable mental treat. The reputation oi
the Barton Lecture Association is being
we'll sustained by entertainers OF eminent
talent. The next entertainment will be {
concert given by Roney's Boys on Wed
nesday evening, Feb. 25th. This will b.

remembered by some of the people of thi
town that "Pinafore" was presented her
about twenty years ago and was the frs
play ever given in Seaver's hall. This opers
although old in years, is probably the bes
production of the now famous Gilbert
Sullivan. 1t is full of catchy music, brigh
scenes and costumes. The members c
this company are all Barton people; muc
time and money has been expended in tn
preparation of the entertainment and the
hope to. give it in a creditable manner

the past week painting the new scener
which will be used exclusively for thi

have been excelled in the opera house. Th
