3Country Grocery Store" to Be Re.
peated on May IL

"The Country Grocery Store" which
was happily received by a large au-
dience in Grange Hall several weeks
ago will be repeated at the same place
on the evening of May II. The high
school orchestra will furnish music
from 7.30 o'clock until the curtain
rises. There will be new features
and jokes. This quaint performance
by local people gives a wonderful
glimpse of olden times and customs,
which are rapidly passing away for

greatly interest the younger genera

such events are impossible.
