Benefit Entertainment

On Friday and Saturday last benefit
entertainment was given in Loves hall
in aid of the local band. The affair
was in the nature of a minstrel show,
gotten up By professional who makes
business of travelling around and
managing entertainments for a share in
the net proceeds. There was a large
attendance, as an extra effort was put
forth to sell tickets beforehand, the one
selling the most tickets being rewarded
with SIS hat, which was on exhibition
at the millinery store of Miss Prosser.
Miss Marie Parker was the winner
disposing of about so tickets Lesser
prizes were awarded to other canvassers.
The entertainment was credtably car
ried out, consisting of jokes, songs,
dialogues. The proceeds of the two
entertainments melted over 5000 we are
informed, one half of which went TO
reimburse the manager, Mr. Dennison,
for his services, and the other half went
into the bands treasury. The outcome
was satisfactory all round.

Aunt Carries hooking birds a peach eX-
cept that he won't sing
We've tried him since he came. and he
will eat most anything
We've fed him soap and camphor balls
and pie and pumpkin seeds.
But still he just won't sing. because he
don't get what he needs.
We fed him lacks and broken glass and
snuff and turpentine,
And when he ate blue paint he chirped
and sure was doing fine.
But he was such lazy bird he wouldn't
eat no more.
And now he's lying in his cage, all spread
out on the floor.
So when Aunt Carrie comes she'll have
to asll-that crazy thing
We wouldn't tell her for the world-the
reason he won't sing.

the NJ E. church last Sunday morning
to good congregation. He was for
merly pastor of this church. He was
appointed at the church conference this
month to take charge of the Yreka

considered very desirable appointment,
the church being strong in that section.
Before leaving for his new field, he

Argonaut mine. They left for Yreka
