Illuminated by hidden lights, added
greatly to the appearance of the room.

credit for this pafnstaking part of the
work
The seven o'clock banquet was han
died in very creditable manner by
Sergt Hampton, assisted by six young
ladies.
Immediately following the banquet,

three, and they would each be limited
to twenty minutes. He then intro

three aims which he desired to accom-
plish: To bring about a closer broth

son.
"A. G. Johnson on Monday commenced
operations for the erection of bung-
allow on Lindoo-ay., Immediately east
of his southside grocery store.
This new building, intended for a
home, will, without doubt, prove to
be the forerunner of a considerable
number of much-needed homes to be
built in Ladysmith during the spring
summer and fall
Only the tightness of money and
credit will prevent the erection of a
large number of buildings here during
the summer, and the money market
appears now to be easing up bit.
