Owing to the poor condition of the
lighting system in the English Luther
an church, the program which was to
have been held Christmas eve, will be
rendered on Friday evening of this
week. Electric lights will be INSTALL

be one well worth attending. Pro-

will assist with the music, so a rare
treat is in store for our little village.
Everyone is welcome to enjoy the fes-
tivities on New Years eve at 7:30
A wide-awake singing class was or
ganized here on Sunday afternoon by
Professor W. z. Fletcher, of Blue
Ridge College, and lively interest
is being manifested in the work of the
class. The course will consist of ten
lessons in the reading of music at
sight. About sixty pupils have been
enrolled. The music is simple and at
tractive and the class is making prog
ress. A program will be rendered on
Monday evening, January 3rd, to
which the public is cordially invited.
The people of our town heard the
chime of wedding bells as we'll as
Christmas bells last week when Miss
Susan Mosser and Mr.. Louis burst
were united in marriage at the home
of the Lutheran minister, the Rev. S.
S. Adams, on Friday afternoon.
On Tuesday afternoon Mr. J. Eli
jah Bittner and Miss Elizabeth Craw-
ford, of Uniontown, motored from Ac-
cident to Oakland where they procured
marriage license and were united by
an Oakland minister. Our young peo-
pie serenaded both couples on Christ
mas evening and extended their good
wishes for an unruffied voyage while
sailing the sea of life.
