church was a success. The hall
was packed and each number was
enjoyed. Major Hendershott and
his son gave many good DUETS
on the drum and fife, but the
best part Of the program was the
numbers given by local talent.
Everyone is always pleased to
hear the Misses Rudd and Nc
Culloch in their solo work, and
this evening was no exception.
The duettsby the Misses Rudd
and Indseth was very beautiful.
It was the first time they had
appeared in public together but
they are now sure to be called
on again. Leo Wilson gave a
difficult solo on the cornet. He
played with a great deal Of
ease, his number was greatly en-
joyed. Miss Brummund as an
accompanied has no equal here.
