Miss Ruby Ray entertained a few of
her young friends last Friday evening
at a birth-day supper, and the occa

friends iu the shape of birth-day pres
ents, » ho vied with each other in the

eral favors—with whom we join most

to please and luterest those friends
who may favor tbe occasion with their
presence. Refreshments will be served
at a seasonable hour. Free admis
sion.
To-morrow, from 11 until 2 o'clock,
lunch wil! be served at the hall, su
pervised by. courteous aud attentive
hostesses. This is designed for the
benefit of our business men, and it is
hoped that as many as can will com
promise on their usual noon-day meal
by patronizing the lunch table. A
tempt ing bill of fare will be presented.
The festivities will be resumed to
morrow evening and continue until 10
o’clock.
It is safe to predict that under tbe
excellent management of the ladies
of the Parsonage Aid Society, the se
ries of entertainments indicated above
will be highly successful; and in be
half of our citizens we feel equally
safe in promising that they will be
numerously attended and liberally
patronized.
The Society hopes to realize, during
the year, sufficient funds to enable
them to buy a lot on which to erect a
parsonage, and afterwards to have
the lot improved. We trust they may
be abundantly successful iu both en
terprises.

Friday Afternoon at College Temple.
The usual Friday afternoon exer
cises at this popular institution have
in nowise depreciated in interest,

the attendance of visitors; but, on the
contrary, there has been a revival in
every department since the recent
temp trary suspension, and weareglad
to note that the school was never in a

Eight boobs were off. red- as prizes
in elocution and composition last Fri
day afternoon, and as a consequence
special ipterest was evinced in tbe ex

tbe Freshman, Junior and Senior
Classes to read and recite. Among so
many praiseworthy efforts, it would
have puzzled aDy committee to decide
as to the mest meritorious.
In the Freshman Class, prizes were
awarded Lillian Dent, Maggie Dean
and Vallie Varner. Lillian Dent in
“Josiah Allen’s Wife at Stewart’s,"
was perfectly at home In “Alexan
der’s” store; talked of “Victory’s”
boys as if they were next door neigh
bors, aDd exhibited with just pride
her indigo-dyed socks aud striped
mittens. Maggie . Dean, in “The

and all rejoiced that “Wandering

prizes. Under the topic, “Things of

She claims to be 106 years old, and

After the literary exercises, Prof.
Kehr’s music pupils entertained the
company. Miss Laura Daniel, tbe
Temple’s Patti, sang several spirited
soDgs with unusual success. Her vc-
cal duet with Miss Mamie Swint was
loudly encored. The instrumental
performances were equally creditable
and enjoyable. Misses Black, Dean,
Beckman, Ray and Gibson gave evi
dences of remarkable proficiency.
Miss AdaMay Broom, in “Voices of the

of all present. Though merit claims
