Carnival Opens Tonight.

An affair that has been planned and talked over for 3 good many days in the past is about to become reality tonight when the Berlin Grange opens a three nights carnival in Grange hall on Pennington road. For the first evenings entertainment the Grange Kitchen orchestra will perform and as this organization is under / the lead eraa,fp of Miss Minnie A. Gibbs some fine music may be expected. There are fifteen young women in the orchestra and they have all had previous exper- fence at playing in the same band there will be no lack of harmony. on Friday night the one act musical comedy Dixie Land,' that made such a big hit at the regular Grange meeting, will be repeated and will be guaranteed to be better than ever. One of the features outside of the en- tertainments will be the old fashioned country store at which goods of all kinds and sizes may be purchased. A rather queer combination Tn the shape of pumpkin pie, sweet elder ana ice cream will be on sale during the evening. There will be many and various other booths erected around the hall so that all attention need not be centercd around the country store. Dancing on one Of the pest noofs III this vicinity will be enjoyed after the entertainment each evening.
 Enjoyable Whist.
 Last evening the second meeting Of the Home Whist club was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Grlfnth and one of the most enloyable eve nings ever spent by that organization
