Though the receipts at the door were
not sufficient to pay the expenses of
the entertainment, many of the guar
antors express complete satisfaction
with the results.
The support of these entertain

one who signed up for these attrac-
tions was reasonably sure that he
would be called upon, for funds to
pay deficit. The only reward they
ask is that the people show their ap-
probation of the effort to bring
wholesome entertainment here by
turning out to see them.
There was a good attendance last
Monday evening, but it is hoped that
the next entertainment, which comes
here November 3Oth, will draw even
