ENTERTAINMENT At KEARSE.
Young Folks Arrange. a Most Pleas
ant Evening.

Kearse, Dec. 24.-Last evening
was most happy one for the old
who for weeks have been pent up
with cares and.rheumatism, wonder
ing if JOY should come again. Only
a few short days ago it was announc-
ed that an entertainment would be
given at White Point school. Soon
all was anticipation of a we'll spent
evening, for young and old alike, for
our young folks have the happy
knack of making a success of these
events and the one given last even
ing was up to the full standard. Both
teacher and scholars alike deserve
the thanks OF all for their very fine
acting, bringing peals of laughter,
happy faces, and sparkling eyes to
all.
Ellen Keyssays life is learning,
suffering, loving, and the greatest of
these is loving And after long years
of observation must agree with her
in toto. It,was an inspiration to
this old scribe to see the good feel
ing so plainh shown in this school.
1t does one good to be thrown in
their midst 1t was gotten up to
raise funds to enlarge the school
library, which has many nice vol
umes now. Our teacher realizes the
fact that an education out of text
books alone is poor education at
best, and to old eyes, the heart, hands
and head all must come in before
it is complete, with the eye thrown
in to make clear the way where the
feet should 30. But enough Of this.
Now the program:
"Joy to the World" a song by the
school we'll sung enough to make
gladness in the saddest heart.
Daddy Arvin's Xmas" in three
parts. Dad& Darwin, old and alone;
some mischiavous boys find his stock
ing, fill it With all kinds of fruit, to-
bacco, snuff, pepper, rocks, pipe and
matches and leave his home in a sad
state, are taught by some young
ladies who Eel sorry for the old man
and try to put things to rights but
ha We a diffiMlt task, the snuff max
ing them aeeze and the pepper in
their eyes, the while the old man re-
turns, the bad boys brought back for
trial. during which his long lost and
only son, cernes in to the confusion
of the boysand JOY of the old man.
A joyous Xmas eve to them.
Guess What's in my Pocket, a
poem rendeed in so artless man
ner as to castivate all; no one gussed
correctly, for it proved to be hole.
''The Fary Play" one of the pref
tiest pieces of the evening. Little
girls bedeGed in white and gold

gusted WIEN so many bad ones are
received.
