thought ii was Xmas entertainment,
and he made so mitch racket that his
mother had to take him outen the hail.
When quiet was restored Rev. Moore
made a speech that Washington made
when he bid his soldiers farewell after
the war. It was beautiful There wasn't
a dry eye in the house, and some of the
women folks cried 50 loud that per-
son Couldn't scairsely hear what Rev.
Moore was saying.
Following Rev. Moore's speech the
audience was invited to repair to the
basement of the hall. where they was
welcomed by about Is members Of the
Ladies Aid of the church, who was at
tired in Revolutionary costumes which
they gathered up around Bingville, and
which amt been worn for over a hun
dred years. The ladies had powdered
their hair and stuck patches of black
sticking plaster on their cheeks, and in
them old-fashioned dresses they made a
person believe he was back living again
back in the old colonial days: These
ladies waited on the table which was
set with an abundance of good things,
including Washington Pie. Other Pie,
Sandwiches, Coffee, Milk, Doughnuts,
Pickles, Cakes of various kinds, Etc!
Everybody pitched in and ct hearty exc.
cept Eph Higgins, our Postmaster The
ladies asked Eph why he didn't eat
nothing and Eph said he had a late
supper before coming to the hall and
couldn't hold another bite to save his
life. By and by Eph leaned over and
whispered to us, asking how much extra
it was if person ct. We told Eph it
wasn't anything extra, being as the en-
tertainment and whatever you wanted
to eat was included in the admission of
10 cts. Eph then fell to and ct more
than anyone else present
Following the supper the audience re-
turned to the hall again and listened to
several recitations by the children of
the Sunday school. Little Tommy Bar
ker spoke piece on the death of WASH
ington which was grand Tommy only
forgot once. This was followed by
Emily Virgins, aged 6, who said a
little pome about Washington never tell

child. but If would OF been more appre-
Grated II she had or spoke loud enough
so as those present could of heard what
she said, but she seemed to be too bad

our Poet writer, then red a poem which
she composed especially for the occa-

long and was lissened to with terrible
interest. being as Sally got it Up all
herself Some of TIE lines rhymed with
each other, and when Sally was through
she was loudly applauded Thus is
genius rewarded
After recitations the Horn band again
played several pieces until trey tied
themselves all out, after which Mr.. Hes
kins declared that. the meeting was over
and everybody shook hands all around
and left the hall conscious Of a ev'g

of the entertainment after all expenses
was paid amounted to s34s cts, which
win be handed over to Rev Moore. It
win be a godsend to him. being as
money has been very scairse with him

Why Buy Bed Gross Seals?

Why you should buy Red Cross
Christmas seals, may be answered
most effectively in the words OF q
twelve-year-old boy in the Duluth
(Minn.) schools, who gave the fol
lowing as his reason in composition
on this subject:
"The reason ] put Red Cross seals
on my Christmas gifts is because every
seal use counts one cent toward
stamping out tuberculosis in the city
and for the maintenance of hospitals
for that purpose. The seals are. also
used to raise funds to teach People
the value of fresh air. Another reason
! buy them Is because my father died
of tuberculosis and | buy them SO
that other little boys and girls won't
lose their father as / did. Another
reason IS that If am ever threatened
with tuberculosis the doctors will have
a fund TO try to prevent IT,"
