age schools are rehearsing for a
Memorial entertainment TO be given in
School Hall on Friday the 2Sth. The
parents Of the pupils and all those in
terested in our young people and the
schools are invited to attend. The
time Of the entertainment will be an
nounced in new weeks Journal.
The ladies will meet at Mrs. Ada
Sherman's Wednesday, May goth, at
2 o'clock for sewing meeting. There
will be work for the fair also for the
missionary society. 1t is greatly de-
sired that large number of women
may find it possible not only to be
present, but TO be early, so that there
may be a good deal of sewing done.
Now that the weather and the roads
are good again, the attendance in Sun
day school will doubtless be larger
than it has been yet this spring. Dur
ing the first quarter of the year the
average was small owing to sickness.
But with beautiful weather and re-
stored health, we hope our school will
gain so that we may not fall short of
the good average we had year ago.
