Last Saturday evening the court
house was crowded to the doors to
near the home talent Chautauqua
number The program was too long
for us to give each number individual
mention, but we can say that each
and every number was not only good
but exceptionally good. 1t showed
careful preparation and the untiring
efforts that were put into the pro-
gram are deserving of more than
passing praise for it meant hard work
and plenty of it for those who carried
the burden of getting up this number.
Wa-Keeney has always been justly
proud of her home talent and with
good reason for this was one of the
best home talent entertainments
ever produced in this city aud we
feel that we have considerable I'M
developed genius slumbering right
here in our quiet little burg. Among
the numerous excellent things worthy
of individual mention was the car
toon work by Jake Hickman and the
picture which A. S. Peacock made
from the frame out. This picture
was not only work of art but was a
peice of mechanical cleVerness as we'll
and Mr.. Peocock has received much
praise for this peice of work. Yes,
we all got our quarters worth and it
was fine too.
