The Christmas entertainment
given at Walkers School House by
the Sunday School at that place
was complete success. The house
was SO filled that it seemed impos-
sible for another one to get in.
The entertainment was opened
with singing and music on the or
gan, which was followed with pray
er by Rev. R. K. Stephenson. I'm
mediately after prayer there was
singing by the school. Then the
audience was entertained with sew
eral dialogues all of which were
carried out very nicely. After the
dialogues the tree was attacked
and robbed of its presents. Rev.
R. K. Stephenson received a very
nice scarf as a regard for his at
tendance during the season. His
wife received a beautiful silk hand
kerchief. The Superintendent and
Secretary each were presented with
mustache cups. AS the former was
presented with his, he was wished
that some day he would have use
for it. The school was organized
last spring by Rev. r. K. Stephen
son, May 7th, and has had an aver
age attendance of "a scholars.

him only in the character pieces
as his voice broke badly in his frs
