the Slayton Jubilee Singers at Valley
House hall Fri6ay evening, Jan. 15. This
company is very highly recommended, and
is called the leading colored troupe in
America, composing a double quartet OF
ladies and gentlemen. They render old
plantation and jubilee melodies, solos and
specialties ina manner that only darkies
are capable of. The press notices from ev-
cry town in which the company appears
are very complimentary. The price OF re-
served seat tickets is 35c and they are on
sale in advance at Webster's drug store.
The admission price is 25c. This is the
second of a series of entertainments being
given by the Masons this winter, and the
patronage should certainly be very liberal.

Congregational church was held Jan. End,
and was well attended. Dinner was served
