A very pleasant dance was given at Fraternal Hall where a merry group of young people as well as a goodly number of spectators assembled for the evening. And at the school house the Juniors entertained the Seniors with a banquet. Also there was the circus over on the vacant lot in the re.ir oi of ele ros. ga age where large crowds went to see the shows. That's always the way in this town.

There is always some thing and sometimes many dif ferent attractions to bring people to town to visit, to attend clubs, meetings, lodges, shows, school entertainments, and principally to trade with our merchants.
