The writer desires 10 call the atten-
tirn % TIC people of our city and sur
torical Society. This society, it will be
remembered, was organized about 20
wears AGO and numbered among its
founders a great many of our best cit
liens, most Of whom We're more or less
Interested in the study of civil history,
including more especially that of our
own county and State, also in arch
ioloey. the various branches of natural
history, embracing mineralogy. botany
ornithology, geology and kindred Sub
iects.
Several years ago through the fore
thought anC generosity of DR.. w. Scott
TIilha permanent hall for the meetings
OF the society was provided in the up
per room of the Lthgow Library
building, which also contains an eX-
tensive and valuable collection Of rare
books, ouriou" utensils of I'VE olden
time" minerals. archaeological curioS,
ornith illogical specimens. etc. Owing to
the fact that the running expenses OF
the society are almost nothing the an
nual dues If the members amount to
but fifty cents. Any one, however. is
welcome to attend the meetings and 1T
is hoped that a large number of both
ladies ard gentlemen will avail them
selves of this privilege. A special IN
vitdton is extended to all the public
school teachers Of this city and county,
to unite with the society and aid IN
promoting its interests. also to the pu-
pits of the schools, who are of sufficient
age to appreciate and enjoy the study
Of history and such branches OF sci
ence as come within its scope.
1t is the intention of the society to
arrange for the reading of one or two
essays or papers at every meeting, and
it is hoped that many of the newer
members. as we'll as the older ones
can be induced to take an active part
in these exercises. The next regular
meeting will be held Tuesday evening,
April 10. when a paper on 1.-The Early

Festival Vaudeville.

With a rousing chorus of the whole
company accompanied by Dennis
orchestra. it goes without saying that
plenty in the grand finale number of
the Festival Vaudeville in City hall on
the night of April Il. The entire COM
pany will participate in this number
and the effect will be simply immense
from all standpoints. This idea Of Il
concerted numbed at the close of a
Vaudeville program is something new
down this way and certainly ought II
prove tremendous winner The
music for this spectacular climax VIII
be q medley Of gems from Victor Her
bcrt's new operate production Little
Memo" and this elaborate finale bids
fair to be made a most spirited and
artistic affair and one long to be re
mcmbered by all who are fortunate
enough to witness it.
Rehearsals Of this and the several
other vaudeville acts are now held
frequently and splendid progress is
being made. And. according to re-
ports from the inner circle, the pro-
gram to be offered in City hall on
April Is will be a great success.
Tickets for the Vaudeville go on
sale at Burns pharmacy at 9 o'clock
Monday morning and if you.~want a
good seat it would be well to be in line,
for it certainly looks as if there would
be a great demand for tickets.

There Is little food for thought in
the report on immigration that has
just been made public, and in which it
is shown that the net gain in popula-

grafton in the year which ended Sep
tember 80, 1908. was according to the
report OF the Secretary of Commerce
and Labor, only 6,2eS. The immi-
grants totaled 724. .112 for fhe year, but
in that period the number of aliens
who left the United States and return
ed to the countries OF their nativity
aggregated 717,814.
It has been estimated that those ar
