MOTHER GOOSE
Delightfully."- Entertained Large Audi
ence at Congregational Parish House.

Thursday evening was not too wet
for Mother Goose to be in this city and
she with a good number of her favorite
characters were at the Congregational
parish house in all their glory. The
entertainment was on that had been
long time in preparation, and the result
was one that must have been satisfac-
tory to those under whose charge the
affair was arranged. 1t was especially
satisfactory to the large audience at
tending and all who were present were
highly pleased. Some 80 persons were
engaged in the presentation of the
piece. The music was an especially
pleasing feature and both the chorus
and comb orchestra, which, by the way
was great harmony producer, could
hardly be excelled. The costumes need
special mention and they were unusu-
ally pretty and wholly adapted to the
occasion. The characters represented

The Temperance Union.

The regular meeting of the Togus
Temperance Union was held in the
usual form, the president, Mrs. Towle,
in the chair. The opening exercises
consisted of singing, reading the
Scriptures and prayer. Records of the
last meeting We're read and approved.
Notwithstanding they had a fine show
in the Opera house, we had little less
than 100 at our meeting, and President
TOwle delivered one of her character
istic addresses which was well re-
ceived. In the course of her remarks
she stated that on the 29th of April
next, it being our second anniversary,
the program would be an extensive
one and one that would show to the
outside public that we are accomplish
ing a good work here among the de-
tenders of our country.
There being no special business be-
fore the Union we turned our attention
to the good of the order, which con-
sisted of remarks by Brothers Stone,
Lamont, Wagner, Treas. Hanson,
Vice President Jewett, Marshal and
others. These remarks We're inter-
spersed by some very interesting
readings and recitations by the fol-
lowing members of the Union: Recita-
ton by Miss Daisy Libby, entitled
Playing Drunkard." BY the way this
young lady is q constant visitor to our
meetings and we are always glad to
welcome her. Vice President Mrs. Per-
kins read n very nice piece entitled BE
Kind to Each Other" Brother Taylor
also gave us n reading entitled "A
Prayer that Makes a Fool Clever
Brother Lamont also gave us a fine
reading.
After few more brief addresses by
those present, we devoted q little time
to handshaking and greetings. after
which the meeting came to n close with
singing. That it was q grand affair
was manifested by the good feeling
that prevailed and the Union extends
welcome to all that may come in and
spend an evening with US. The next
meeting will be held at $50, Tuesday
evening, March If.
