The people of the city should avail
themselves of the opportunity to hear
that great oratorio, "The Holy City,"
which will be given at the college
auditorium next Sunday afternoon. At
these Sunday afternoon oncert no ad-
mission is charged, but a small silver
offering to pay current expenses is
taken up, and the entertainment put
on is as good if not better than given
by travelling talent.
w. c. Papke was a Brookings visitor
Friday. He reports that AL. Mead and
family are back visiting with their old
friends and neighbors in and around
White. w. M. Coleman and family,
who have also been living in the west,
have returned and are visiting in the
same neighborhood. The latter will
in all probability remain providing
they can find a suitable farm to rent
the coming season.
The Register is this week publishing
a proclamation by Mayor Johnson set.
ting Sunday, March Is, as "Go-to-
Church-Sunday.", This plan of calling
especial attention to the necessity of
attending church service is a most
worthy movement, and has been tried
with success in different parts of the
country. 1t is expected that the pas
tors of the various churches will pre-
pare special sermons for the day, fur
Their announcements of which will be
made in our next issue.
The Commercial Club will entertain
the men Of the college at the opera
house on the evening of Friday, March

ment is busy at work and expects to
have a vaudeville turn or two from the
out side, some stunts by local talent,
maybe a speech or two and a feed. 1t
is expected that there will be about
700 from the college and a couple of
hundred club members present. 1t
was planned to hold it March q, but
it was moved forward a week on &C
count of the closing of the school of
agriculture before the 9th.
One day this week the depot force
had some fun with an old p~ocketbook,
which they found on the platform.
They stuffed it with paper to make it
look as though it was full of bills and
laid it down near the waiting room
door. Presently a travelling man came
along and noticing the p~ocketbook he
slvlv put his foot on it and then stood
looking unconcernedly around. Pretty
soon when he thought no n was
watching him he hastily picked it up
and escaped into the waiting room.
After a bit he came out looking rather
cheap and when the bunch gave him
the laugh he "dutcu I hSh"
The congregation of the M. E.
church is discussing plans to make
their church of greater service to the
members and the community during
the coming year. They plan to put in
q gymnasium and other means OF
amusement for the young people,
where they can be entertained under
the best conditions and which VIII In
q measure make up for the lack OF a
Y. NJ. C. A. building in Bookings. The
nlan is a most c~ommendable one and
II is hoped that the members OF the
church see their way clear to carry it
ont and it's success will no doubt
stimulate the other churches to follow
the good example. The congregation
will also put in a splendid pipe organ
and will build a new parsonage, tnese
improvements when completed giving
them one of the finest church proper
ties in the state.
