was all.
This coming Saturday we have the
Unique orchestra of Rhinelander with

very much the last time and there
should be a good attendance. There
is quite heavy expense attached and
so encouragement in the way of num-

undertaking

Down in the heart of the city, on
the village green, ct the end of Com

new band stand. 1t came up like a
great mushroom, for Saturday there
was nothing to be seen. Enthusiast

gether Sunday morning and in few
hours time had it we'll under way.

of this kind.
Church services will be held regu-
larly it is expected from now on at
the Congregational church on Sunday
evenings. The church has all been
decorated and new pews put in. Every
thing looks fine and with regular SER

supper, which the ladies gave at the
church this last week, was well at
tended and netted the ladies some
thirty dollars.
