the most successful performances held
in this village as a mirth provoking
entertainment. An audience that
oVerf1owed the hall enjoyed the affair
to the utmost. In addition to the

and singing by John Richardson, Jr,
all of which were excellent.
For Benefit of Employees.
The announcement was made Mon

dividend of 10 per cent on their
earnings for the the year ending on
April Both will be paid to their en-

can be made: possibly this month. 1t
has seemed the part of wisdom to base
this increase on known earnings rath-
er than to establish an increased wage
on an uncertainty of future earnings.
This is a new departure from the
policy of the company and a most
welcome surprise to the employees.
