In supervising big banquets. The big
feed and much visiting delayed the
afternoon program to a late begin
ming. The concert OF sacred music,
vocal and instrumental was given as
announced last week, to the delight
and edification of a very large au-
dience. The Harmony girls and the
two young Inen assisting, Messrs. Lee
Saltmarsh and Rogers Simons may be
pleased to know that their efforts
were very highly appreciated, possess
ing unusual merit. For lack OF time
the afternoon speakers, Messrs. Hal
bower, Thomson and Saltmarsh were
compelled to abbreviate their speeches
numerically. Mayor w. j. Halloween
of Miller, made the brief Introductory
speech, just right as usual, winning
much applause. Because of limited
time, Mr.. Chas. Thomson, the veteran
s. S. Superintendent of Miller, was
able TO give only a brief sketch of his
prepared address subject Christian

close attention and unqualified APP

ject but rather an object, and that to
create a feeling of jolly optimism. In
the brief spell OF only a few minutes
the entire audience had changed to
one of uproariously laughter and con-
tinued applause. The first number
