ANOTHER DELIGHTFUL OCCASION
A Largely Attended Event and q
Happy Affair.

The third of the "Old Folks So
cials" was held in Heselton Hall on
Tuesday evening, April %. 1t was
a very enjoyable occasion. The hall
was taxed nearly to its full capacity,
about 100 couples participating. The
increased numbers to this one being
due to the patronage of the younger
people Though some of the dances
we're entirely different to what they
had danced and somewhat confusing
to them, they were ready TO attempt
any, and with the assistance of Brack-
ct Porter as prompter, got through
them in a very creditable manner.
Chorus Jig though was too much.
Down the outside. Down the center.
Cast off Swing contra corners was too
bewildering and after two attempts
to go through this dance il was chang
ed to an easier one. The affair was
a success socially and financially,
The committee will turn over TO the
lodge a substantial sum to be given
to the trustees of Priscilla Rebekah
lodge, which will be placed with the
Rebekah Building Fund that has al
ready been started. Refreshments
were served. The committee of ar
rangements were Carrie Bearce, Ma
bel Bragg, Hiram Bearce, NJ. B. Hesel-
ton, who We're assisted by Isadore
Spear, Nellie Savage, {. y. Bragg,
and Miss Nellie Clifford. Several who
were present have already asked the
committee for just one more "Old
Folks Social" to be given in the near
future, and assure them of a liberal
patronage.

j. c. Rockwell's Sunny South COM
pany, an organization composed OF
twenty-five colored people, including
some OF the cleverest and most versa
tile performers in their respective
lines at present before the American
public, is announced to appear in the
Skowhegan Opera House, Saturday
evening, April 9th. This is said to
be one of the strongest, brightest,
most complete and capable colored
organizations ever sent on tour. 1t
is entirely different from nearly all
other colored companies, inasmuch as
1t is clean to a fault and during the
entire performance there is not a line
nor a action to which exception can
be taken. 1t is given with a dash and
vim which gains popularity and with
bright lines, tuneful music, witty di-
alogue together with charming mu-
sical numbers and excellent special
ties, makes it novel and pleasing. The
fun, which will be handed over the
footlights, is all new and needs no
arrow to point the way to the laughs.
1t is bristling with new, novel and
entertaining features and ii is brim-
full of laughable situation, clever
vaudeville stunts and amusing com
edy.
The organization is accompanied by
solo concert band and a superb or

noon.

HIGH TIME FORMA|NE
To GET OUT OF MUD
John Clark Scates Told
Board of Trade
Nothing More Clearly Indicates the
Character of a Community Than Its
Roads. He Continues:

Maine is known far and near for
her delightful summer climate, her
beantiful lakes, her magnificent for
ests. rugged and picturesque seacoast
and her miserable roads" declared
, the Hon. John c. Scates of Westbrook
in concluding his address to the board
of trade.
Our roads are a blot on our civil
ization. Let us all take hold and
eradicate that blot"
In spite of the drizzling rain there
was an excellent turnout of the busi-
ness men and they plainly showed
their appreciation of Mr. Soates effort
by protracted series of questions and
rising vote of thanks.
Mr.. Scates said in part:
Nothing more clearly indicates the
character of a community than its
pads. Your highway from Oakland
40 through Bingham is the best in the
state but Maine as a whole is stuck
in the mud and it is high time we got
it out of it. I'VE are behind almost
every other state in the nation in this
matter of roads.
