Contributed,

The meeting of the Trust held at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. G. A. Newman
last Wednesday evening, was certainly
the most generally enjoyable one yet
held by this highly popular organiza-
ton with fifty-four guests present.
Primarily an evening of music, the
selections were interspersed with songs,
recitations, general lively conversation
and bountifull repast.
The mandolin Club, composed of
Messrs. Perigo, Kincaid, Parkins and
Loefiler, was very heartily applauded
and encored, giving at different times
the Merry Widow Waltz, repeated later
by request, medley of popular
airs, The Palms, selection from
Prince of Pilsen" patriotic and popu-
lar medley, college Life, etc. 1t was
certainly treat to listen to the skill
full playing of these young men, and
we prophesy cordial reception where
ever they are heard.
Fan Tan by Mr.. Perigo and Miss
Edgington at the piano received hearty
applause. The selections by Messrs.
Gilbert and Kronke, on violin and
cornet with Miss Bryant at the piano,
deserved the reception accorded them
and the encores. The Shippers of st.
Ives with the The Position as an en-
core, sung by Mr.. Wilbur with Mrs.
Wilbur accompanist, were received with
hearty applause, fact true also of
the piano duets by the Misses Edging-
ton and Bradley. Vocal solos by Miss
Vannette with Miss Bryant accom-
PIANIST, were given the same hearty
reception.
Mrs. Campbell rendered Seem
Things at Night, in her inimitablle
manner, as an encore telling the young
men present You may, But Doubt it.
Mr.. Langile's rat and mouse story
of domestic infelicity was not intend
ed for any but the married people, yet
the young folks listened nevertheless.
Mr.. HARRISON read humorous descrip-
tions of several we'll known person
ages.
The original poem written that day
by Mr.. Cunning and given below
was one of the most enjoyable features
of the whole evening which was ter
minated at a late hour with reluctance
on the part of all to leave the pretty
and tastefully decorated home and
gracious presence of the host and
hostess.
This is a musical meeting of the
Neighborhood Trust,
So III tune up my muse that's afflicted
with rust
And sing aloud in its praise of the good
it will do,
In knowing better our neighbors so
good and 50 true.
| feel like trespasser in taking your
time
To voice my sentiments in execrable
rhyme
But rhyming is easier than writing
with sense
To one who is lacking and makes no
pretense.
To get acquainted with our neighbors;
that's why we meet,
And find it quite pleasant as each
one we greet
The heart beats more joyous with
each grasp of the hand
To know that we're one in the Neigh
borhood band.
We sometimes do wonder why we are
so blest,
In having for neighbors the truest and
best.
The climate too fair, won't answer
the pun,
Oh, its easy, They're Gods children,
everyone.
might specialize and name each
one of the bunch,
But if told their virtues 'twould
make late lunch.
There's the Bishops and. Campbells
and Ferguson boy,
To meet them is always pleasure
and joy.
There's the Edgington family they're
doctors, you know,
Their presence is healing and balm for
life's woe.
They will cure you; not do you with
such big bill,
That will make the rest of life's
journey, Il very steep hill,
Then there's the minister-oh, excuse
my bad blunder,.
But custom is strong, SO its not very
much wonder,
The minister trails after the doctor |
leeches
Our minister practices Just what he
breaches.
Reverend Hershner is the one had in |
my mind
But the sentence describes Reverend |
Gilmore, fine.
Their wives are true helpmates and |
welcome away,
Where sorrow or joy dims or brightens
our way.
Then there's Hartwig and Wilbur, |
well learned in the law.
