from the porte cochere door. Pro

was served. The house was beauti
fully decorated with plants and flowers
for the occasion.

the most beautiful assortments of

The Tent Campaign
Was inaugurated by the Young

meeting was large and the meeting
was pronounced a success. Rev. R.
M. Miller, ol Heading, lien I. secre
tary of the bunday bchooi Hoard 01
the Reformed Church, made a most
excellent address. The move of the
Association in pushing out on this
line of work received many favorable
comments. The program for next
Sabbath is not completed, but it
promises to be a rich one. Sunday a
week Mr. J. W. Dean, the quaker
Evangelist, will address the meeting
The music at these services is a
feature ; the Y. M. C. A. orchestra is
developing into one of the best musical
organizations in the town.
The interest in the Association
during this year has been 6plendid,
and we expect it will continue. The
attendance at the rooms daily has
averaged over 100 j Prayer, cottage
and jail meetings have been held with
gratifying results. The attendance at
the Men s meeting, bunday atternoon
is an indication 01 tne interest in xnc
work. During the first five months of
1804 the attendance was 1843 ; during
the past hve months of 1895 the
attendance reached 3973, just 27 short
of four thousand. Let everybody
encourage the work, all the time they
can, in every way they can.

will appear at the Opera House for
two nights and baturday matinee,
commencing Friday. Tune 14th with
change of bill at each performance,
opening with Scott Marble's beautiful
western Idyl, the most successful
comedy-drama of the season, "Tenn
essee's Pardner." The following is
from the Boston Sunday Globe: Dur
ing the past week the dainty little
comedienne Cora Van Tassell has
accomplished more in the way of
winning hosts of admirers on her first
week in Boston than many of the old
er stars have accomplished in years.
Her play "Tennessee's Pardner," is 2
charming western story full of quaint
characterizations drawn from the
author's memory from the people he
came in contact with while a resident
of the mountains. The supporting
company is exceptionally strong prov
ing all that could be desired in the
parts intrusted to them, and they held
the audience throughout the four acts
without an instant s cessation while
the alternation between pathos and
humor keeps the listeners between
tears and laughter.
