There will be another matinee on
I II y
| but after that the matinee will be
held regularly on Saturdays.
Plans for the community supper
and entertainment are proceeding
successfully, and every one in town
is becoming interested. The day set
is Tuesday, Jan. 5, at 6 p. m, in Mu-
sic hall, provided no more difficult
ties are encountered with the cleo
trio lights in which case there would
have to be a postponement. A
pleasing program is being prepared.
! Among the numbers are the follow
! ing: A shepherdess drill by Twelve
children: an amusing farce in which
Mrs. Foster, Mrs. Hale, Mrs. Watson
and Miss Campbell take part; music
| by double male quartet, a solo by
l.. O. Eaton, a recitation by Mrs. An
] ma Spencer Frost and solos with
piano and violin obligato. p. A.
/ Darling has kindly consented to give
selections on his Victrola, pieces by
Harry Lauder, etc. There will also
be an exhibition of the new dances
as taught by Miss Madeline Randall,
by the members of the dancing class.
The Senior class at the Institute
have arranged to hold a dancing
party in Music Hall, January 8, the
proceeds to be used towards their
trip to Washington.
The electric lights and power were
shut off last week from Sunday night
until Thursday, as it was necessary
to pump the water away from some
work on the new foundation. The
extremely cold weather has caused
the work to go rather hard the last
few days, but we are glad to hear
that warm and thawing weather is
promised soon, since the water in the
river is so low and freezing so hard
that it will be impossible to run the
lights much longer unless RELIEF
comes. Christmas trade was about
as good as usual, although the in
convenience of being without lights
made it very hard for the merchants.
At the churches Christmas trees and
exercises were held as usual for the
children.
Mrs. Josephine Carr spent week S
