The comedy in three acts, "Who is
the Deacons Second Wife?", which was
presented Friday evening in Union hall
by the Williamsville Grange, was well
attended and much appreciated by an
attentive audience. The cast of char
aCters was so well arranged and the
parts so well taken that there is much
credit due the Grange, who have worked
so faithfully and have raised a fund of
500 to be used toward building their hall,
which will be begun at once. The music,
which was kindly furnished by the New
fame Grange, consisted of instrumental
music by the Winchester brothers, a
quartet, Come where the lilies bloom"
a duet by Mr.. and Mrs. O. r.. Wright
and song by A. II. Farnum, making
a musical program of which our Newfane
Grange may well be proud.
The w, c. T. L. met last week at Mrs.
Davdson's and considered the topic,
Purity in art and literature" Clippings
were read showing the reading which dis
graces the pages of our daily papers and
discourage the seeker after righteous
ness. for which there seems to be no
other excuse than love of money, the
root of evil. 1t was quoted that Francis
Willard said: I'VE claim the realm of
literature and art as a dependency of the
Christian home. We wish to bring the
influence of women to bear upon the
books read by children and young peo-
pie, and the pictures, statuary and
dramatic representations that are placed
before them, so that incentives to pure
living shall be increased; also that the
w. c. T. L. has achieved the greatest
success by educating public sentiment"
The Union will meet at the same place
at pm, Friday, April IS.
