The cantata given by the children
of the M. E. Sunday school in the
town hall Monday evening was very
pleasing, the children doing their part
in a manner to reflect much credit on
the training they had received. One
of the features of the evenings en-
tertainment was solo beautifully
rendered by Mr. Jackson of Iowa
The trees were well laden, all receiv-
ing some remembrance of the occa-
sion and candy bags for the children
were plenty.
Owing to the severe storm and the
bad roads there was the smallest at

was one of the most interesting and
helpful services of the kind ever Civ
