Special services are held regularly
during Lent in a number of Norfolk
churches. In the Lutheran churches
special services are held every Friday,
the practice being generally adopted of
alternating the services between the
morning and evening. Thus the SER
vices at st. Paul's church having been
held last Friday morning at 10 o'clock
the services at that church next Fri
day will be in the evening. This ar
rangment makes it possible for every
one to attend at least part of the ser
vices.
Among the days out of town visit
ors in Norfolk were: Miss Maude
Walton, Winnetoon; Barney e. Smith,
Lynch; r. r. Mitchell Creighton; N.
Clemens, Verdel e. Schosty, Mo
brara; District Judge Guy p. Graves,

Unless Florence is close reader of
The News she will probably never
learn that her friend has been visiting
in Norfolk and Neigh and expects her
to write to Albion. The post card mes
sage was written all right and proper
ly stamped too, but because Florence's
address wasn't written it didn't get
any further than the bulletin board
in the corridor of the Norfolk post
office. For Florence's benefit it may
be stated that the writer was having
a perfectly fine time in Norfolk
Writers of post cards very frequently
forget to write the address, especially
on the cards where they write a mes
sage on one half of the post card front

a beautiful bass voice and sings with

ganizatiOn deserved a packed house
and, should they ever return to Nor
folk, should receive liberal patronage
