ing. A sketch of Gen. Ballington Booth
was given by Miss Sue Wheeler, current
events by the club members, and pa
per on Lord Shaftesbury by Miss Eva
Walker making very enjoyable pro-
gramme, after which refreshments were
served, and a most pleasant evening en-
joyed.
Supper and entertainment at the Bap-
fist church Wednesday evening were in
charge of Mrs. Z. A. Howe's class OF
Young ladies', organized for the occasion
as the Old Maids Club. The supper
was of mashed potato, cold meats,
salads. hot rolls, pastry, coffee, etc., and
was pronounced very fine. For enter
tainment there were solos by Ralph
Penfold and Mrs. Maurice Noyes, and a
bright and amusing sketch by the Old
Maids Club, representing the several

was a good attendance.
The lecture of Rev. III. A. Clifford for
the benefit of Paris Public Library will
be on Wednesday evening, Feb. l4th.
The change from the 21st, as heretofore
announced, is on account OF several
other entertainments announced for the
following week, and the 18th seems to
be the better date. There will be music
by the male quartette and other exer-
cises. The lecture is one of Mr.. Cliff
ford's best and will be instructive and
interesting. The entire proceeds will
be used for the purchase of new books,
and it is hoped the entire village will
give the effort their hearty support.
Remember the date, Feb. l4th, at NJ. Z.
church.
Following "Cap'n Fri" which will be
concluded next week, the Democrats
next serial story will be 1.-The Two Van
revels," by Booth Harrington, who laid
the foundation of his reputation with
THE Gentleman from Indiana" follow
ed that up with Monsieur Beaucaire,"
and has since turned out large number
of very popular stories. Ii is safe to
assure readers that "The two Vanrevels"
will be highly entertaining. In its
dramatized form it has been very sue
cessful. IN fact, the characters are so
we'll drawn and the plot is so fantastic
and unreal that reading the story is al
most as good as seeing modern play.
Don't miss reading it.
The reading room, opened in the pub
lie library room last summer by the
Seneca Club, is being we'll patronized by
the people and seems to be very much
appreciated. The following magazines
and papers may be found there regularly:
Puck, st. Nicholas, Cosmopolitan, Nc
Clure's, Ladies' Home Journal, Saturday
Evening Post, Success, Outing, Review
of Reviews, Century, Technical World,
Everybody's, Youths Companion, Ma
tional Magazine, American Sportsman,
and Public Opinion. There are also
others. Public Opinion is very nice
weekly magazine, the gift with also five
dollars in money from Vim. Deering OF
Chicago, which was much appreciated
by the club members. If you haven't
yet visited the reading room just drop in
some open night and see what cosy
quarters it has.
Our long vacation from fire alarms
was broken just before noon Of Friday
BY the ringing of the Methodist bell for a
blaze on the roof of the Howe store
building on Western Avenue near the
depot. Probably sparks from the
chimney had caught in the shingles on
the south side of the roof. They had
also caught in the grass near the sill of
the building on the same side, and burn
ed over little patch. Fortunately there
is a hose house within forty feet of the
building, and hydrant only little
farther away, and it was a very short job
to get stream on the blaze, so that, al
though there was quite high wind, the
fire was out before anybody from down
town got there. There was no fire in
side the building, but the fire and the
