1.-THE Old Peabody Pew'-was most
oSCCpVduly plCStlttu ana pleasantly re-
ceived by our community. The audience
was good sized one, considering the
unpropitious weather. A heavy thunder
shower which occurred during the gath
ering hour deferred many from attend
ing, as previously planned. All present
greatly enjoyed the dressing, acting and
agreeable manner of the entire personnel
of the cast Many thanks are extended
by the entire parish to all assisting in
this delightful performance and to Mrs.
Parker and little Miss Doris Wilson for
their readings in costume, the former a
humorous character sketch, convulsing
the audience with laughter The entire
affair netted nearly $50 (Which but for
the rain storm would have been much
larger) to our parish treasury. It is hoped
the acquaintance thus pleasantly begun
may be continued in the future.
