A very pleasant entertainment was given
in the church vestry last Friday evening
under the auspices of the Ladies' Ald
Society. Among the features were shadow
pantomines. Many of the ladies had given
81 each, which had been earned in some
way unusual to them and by pantomine
they showed how it had been DONE Mrs.
E. A. Carpenter developed as poet and in
verse more or less regular told of her trou-
bles in renovatng Ezra'S Overcoat MISS
Christine Jones rendered a solo very finely
and little Dorcas Davis ia vOred the audi
ence with one of her sweet songs. Other
entertainment was given and then refresh
ments were served. Then jolly crowd
started to travel to Jerusalem. A certain
ponderous Hon. was the first to drop out
with a thud while a little miss of few
summers was the one who got there. 1t was
nice little affair and all hands declared
that church entertainment had some fun
in it, We should not forget to say that
Samantha Allen was there in all her glory
and recounted, much to her own satsfac-
ton, some of the episodes of the family life
of herself and her Josiah. The ladies have
now paid the debt in full on the vestry.
