 The Taxpayers Improvement Club is enjoying a well merited prosperity and there is now enough money in the treasury to go ahead and put the fin ishing touches on the club house at Johnson and Nichols avenues. The second floor will be decorated and the ground floor ceiled and cement floor laid. This is in preparation for the installation of the fire apparatus which will be the next move of the club. The success of this venture has surprised the old residents of the town who had predicted failure for any such enterprise in this town. The result reflects great credit on the pro- moters and indicates that whatever the residents of this section attempt will be carried through with energy and ability. The ladies of the auxiI- iary, to whom no small part of the credit of the success of the venture is due, will meet on Thursday after noon to make arrangements for an- other entertainment.

They states that even the splendid oratorios that have been sung here in years past do not compare with the selections rendered by the 40 trained male voices who have made their work study to bring it to a high state of perfection. Each member is an experienced singer and many are so- loists of note. To hear the choir ren- der the old ballad 'Lochinvar" Is a revelation of what it is possible to perfect by careful training of male voices. The opening effect of the ad- vancing host is marvellous, the chorus singing as a unit, producing tones of a beautiful organ-like quality.
