The entertainment Saturday even
ing, given by the pupils of the school
in this place. under the management
of Miss CLARA Myers, the efficient and
popular teacher, proved to be one of
the most successful events of the kind
within the memory of those present.
The exercises were held in the Metho-
dist church, the whole interior of the
church being handsomely decorated
with evergreens and flags, and brill
liantly lighted. In spite of the pre-
vailing storm outside the church was
filled to it's comfortable capacity.

ing, singing and pantomime of the
pupils was heartily enjoyed by all,

ing their first appearance on the stage
in public. Several surprised even
their parents by their naturalness
and ability il their stage appearance,
the acrobatio conclusion of one little
speaker delighting all. Instru-
mental music interspersed, and cake
and coffee followed the stage exer-
cises and made the whole a splendid
success. Much credit is due Miss
Myers, and the district appreciate her
labors every way, and hope for her
continued presence and labors with
