A R0usINe SOCIAL
N COUNTRY SOUTH

That the people living in the Iowa
settlement know how to take care of
their minister was amply proven on
Saturday evening. November g.. On the
above mentioned evening the people of
the community met at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. W. o. Moore for a supper and
social. Sixty people partook of the
spread served by the ladies and over
$40 was realized from this source.
Following the supper a cake. baked by
Mrs. j. c. ewkirk, was brought forth to
be presented to the most popular young
lady present. The voting started and
the dollars commenced rolling in like
the wheat, oats and potatoes have been
rolling out and when the contest closed
Miss Vera Kiser of Iowa, who is visiting
her brother. Fred Kiser. and sister, Mrs.
Lee Baeley, took the cake. which netted
the neat sum of $125.O 5.
The proceeds of the evening amounting
in all to $145. 70. were donated to Elder
L. H. Mccoy, who has been serving
these people as minister for the past
two years. The little daughter of Elder
and Mrs. Mccoy has been very ill for
several weeks so the money at this time
was doubly welcome.
Games and songs furnished plenty of
amusement throughout the evening and
all had a very pleasant time. The
people in the country east never fail to
have a big time at their parties and
socials. -Hettinger County Herald.

A PLAY that WILL LIVE
HERE SATURDAY, DEC. II

There is a keen interest manifested
by the local amusement lovers in the
forthcoming engagement of Joseph M.
Weber's much heralded comedy drama
THE Climax by Edward Locke, which
is announced as one Of the important
attractions of the season in this city.
THE Climax is said to be the real
thing of the year in a theatrical way.
and highly endorsed BY the
critics of New York and other cities.
wherever the play has been this season.
The play has achieved q most brilliant
triumph at Weber's theatre. New York.
where it is attracting large and delighted
crowds. Never before in the history of
New York theatricals has a play received
such dattering comments from the dra-
matte critic of the metropolis as 1.-THE
Climax )" for without one dissenting
voice they proclaimed it the play of the
year. 1t is a drama which makes q
particularly strong appeal to lovers of
music, for the manne in which music is
blended into the play is perfectly
delightful. Only four characters figure
in the cast, and three of that number
are professional musicians. The story
is that of a young girl. fresh from the
country who has a splendid voice. and
operate aspirations. She has q distant
relative in New York with whom she goes
to live and become his pupil. The
relative has a son. who is a composer
and a pianist. He falls desperately in
love with the girl. Ayoung doctor from
the girls home, who is also in love with
her. tries to persuade her to abandon
her musical career to marry him, but
she refuses to give up her prospective
stage career. She has a slight operation
performed upon her throat, and the young
doctor. uses the owe Of mental sug-
gestion so effectively that the girl
imagines that she has lost her voice ; but
she regains it again and everything
ends happily. An excellent presenting
cast will be seen in the different roles.
