ir A minstrel entertainment, to be con
cluded with a dance, will be given at the
Oak Grove schoolhouse at Hope Villa on
s Friday night of next week, April 8, at
e 8:30 o'clock, for the benefit of the library
and athletic funds of the school. An at
1 tractive program is in course of prepara
tion, and if the size of the audience is in
any way commensurate with the merit of
the performance the success of the affair
may be taken for granted. The posters
advertising the entertainment state the
following facts: "Troupe of 30 funmakers.
One laugh per second or your money back.
Tell your friends about it. Also your
enemies. Admfission: Adults, 25 cents;
children, 15 cents. All others free."
Easter Celebrated.
Easter was observed last Sunday with
customary pomp and solemnity, special
services being held at all of the churches
in honor of the notable feast. The day
was an ideal one and afforded full oppor
tunity for a particularly elaborate display
of Easter millinery and apparel.
At the Catholic church two masses
were sung, as usual, with large congrega
tions in attendance. Services in keeping
with the occasion were held at the Epis
copal and Methodist churches and were
well attended.
