The show given by the young people
of Mills at the Roy Theatre last Fri
day night was just simply fine. 1t
was the best of its kind ever presented
here and attracted crowd that filled
the hall to it's capacity. The show was
snappy, and full of pep, and short
enough to not, tire out an audience.
The music and songs were especially
fine and the ladies and gentlemen who
presented it showed talent that could
hardly be believed amateur.
The financial returns was over $50.
and no one begrudged them the money
The show was gotten up to get money

given at Gladstone, and will be at sew

No one is through till he stops.
No matter how hard failure hits,
No matter how often he drops.

While he bobs up serenely for more
A fellows not dead till he dies,
Nor beat till he no longer tries.
