Tho entertainment Thursday even.
ing at the Odd Fellows Hall given by
the Odd Fellows and two Rebekah
Lodges OF Oskaloosa, was literally
speaking cruch. The hall was
crowded 10 standing room. There
were five long tables extending near
lly across the hall Food of the best
quality was in abundance, contributed
by the Two Rebekah Lodges and was
a real love feast from beginning to
end. Everything was served free, and
there was no limit placed on the eat
ing and the drinking. IT, was esti-
mated by NJ Fl. McCannon that there
was between 700 and 500 present dur
ing the evening. All Odd Fellows and
their families with one outside friend
twas invited 10 attend. The writer
was one OF these families or friends,
and we thought the entertainment
one Of the best that we have ever at
tended. The music for the evening
was rendered by the Oskaloosa High
School orchestra, composed of girls
and boys, and was splendid in every
number and the numbers was nearly
continuous during the evening, only
ceasing while the rest of the program
was being rendered. The program
was about as follows: Supper with
continuous music by the orchestra, a
reading by Adrienne Lewis, music by
orchestra, whistling solo by Mrs.
nellie Raymond accompanying herself
on the piano, music by orchestra.
Mr.. Pringle gave reading, more
music by the orchestra. Mrs. Briney
gave a splendid reading which a great
many did not hear on account of the
noise and confusion of the large
crowd. | would be glad If could
give this reading in full as it was on
the lines of Odd Fellowship. Mrs.
Raymond was recalled just before the
close of the entertainment to give
another of her whistling solos. She
is an artist in whistling and it is so
wonderful too what height the art
of whistling may attain. Mrs. Ray
mond has the thrills nearly to per
lection. The entertainment was not
very long. commencing at 600 o.
clock and closing at 1000 o'clock.
But it was alive during every min
ute of that time. The chairman of
the committees wishes to thank all
iof her committees for their willing
and efficient work in getting up and
carrying out the program of the en-.
Itertainment Mrs. J. p. Pearson
