PLAY BY DRAMATIC CLUB

The play given by West Not
tingham Academy Dramatic
Club, on Friday evening, in the
public hall of this town, drew
an audience that filled the
hall to its capacity, In fact a
number of late Corners were
turned away, as every available
seat was taken.
"What Price Ancestors" was
the comedy presented, in three
acts, and every member of the
cast deserves praise for the
manner in which the charac-
tiers were portrayed. The au-
dience was well pleased with
the efforts of the young actors.
Much, credit is due Mrs. Paul
Slaybaugh, who coached the
play.
The gross receipts were in
the neighborhood of $125, and
$50 Melted.

STUBBORN CHIMNEY FIRE

The Community Fire Com
pany chemical truck was called
to the home of Mrs. Effie K.
Evans west of town, on Mon
day afternoon, to fight a stub
born chimney fire. The firemen
tried kil-soot and a hand ex-
tinguisher first, but the blaze
was in a large stone fireplace
chimney and hard to fight. The
chemical engine was finally put
in service an dthe blazing SCOT
extinguished.
Mrs. Evans wishes to express
her appreciation of the efforts
of the firemen and the splen-
did work they did, and in adj
dition to thanking them has
sent the Company a very SUBJ
stantial contribution in the
form of a check for $500,
which the firemen appreciate
and return thanks for.
