This sum was contributed to the Bur-
lington Red Cross society. Quigley's
orchestra furnished the music, which
in itself was guarantee of the sue
cess of the venture. The miners are
sure loyal bunch of men and when
ever they undertake anything you can
bet it's winner.
The entertainment at the opera
house Friday evening was pronounced
by many who were present as the best
local talent performance they had
ever witnessed. It would be impossi-
BILE to mention any of those taking
part without referring to all, as each
one was perfect, showing that the d.
rectress, Mrs. Charles Wistrom, had
trained her charges most admirably.
The condition of the roads undoubted-
ly prevented many from distance be-
ing present but the townspeople turn
ed out and the opera house was filled
and standing room was at premium.
There is a possibility that the enter
tainment will be repeated here, and in
all probability arrangement will be
made to give this entertainment at
Tasker and Foxholm. The Junior
Red Cross realized over sixty dollars
from their entertainment.
