FOURTH OF JULY DANCE.

The Fourth of July Benefit Dance
which was held at the new school house
on the Doumecq was a decided success
The ladies had prepared baskets before
hand and the sum realized was SIS
which will go towards the Fourth of
July celebration. The music was fur
nished by Misses Blanche Macdonald
and Margaret Daubenspeck and Messrs
Arthur McSpedden, Reggie Napean and
Jas. Campau, and was first class in
every respect. Mr.. Campau gave
several selections on the violin, also
some vocal solos. He is an accomplish
ed musician, having played for ten
years in Detroit orchestra and it is
certainly treat to hear him and dance
after his music.
These good people are giving another
benefit dance at the school house

expected. The musicians donated their
music at the dance which was greatly
appreciated by the committe in charge.
The piano belonging to Miss Mac

hour the dancers were entertained by
the new Edison machine recently pur-
chased by Mr.. McSpadden, which they
greatly enjoyed.
