JUST READ THIS. The following is advertising, pure and simple, advertising for the big bazaar to be held in the town hall on Friday in aid of the hospital, but we publish it—free—not only to help out the bazaar and, incidentally, the hospital, but to encourage the bud - cling poetess, who bids fair to rival Walt Mason if she *islets. Read it, and then come to the bazaar: "Kindly remember the big bazaar, all ye people, both near and far. And when you come your gift to bring, be sure to view the entire ring. For dis- played just^before your eye, may be the thing you would like to buy. The children are ,invited, 'too, to come and make their journey thio'. Perfume and candy and wee cakes of soap, will make them want to buy, we hope So bear in mind the date, so near, and come and help with right good cheer." THE FIRST CONCERT. On Thursday evening next the first concert of the Lyciun course, to be given under the auspices of -the Girls' Auxiliary, takes place in the " Own hall. It is a "Singing Orchestra" "The Virginia Girls," and promises to bo .. a 'charming' entertainment. Stringed instruments of various kinds will be used as well as lots of vocal music, Southern songs will predom- inate and there will be character songs, readings, etc. It will no doubt be a very enjoyable entertainment. The plan of the hall will be open to ticket ]folders on Saturday of this week. It is a good plan to secure your seat for the whole course and then you have no further trouble. Theou n ladies Y g have changed •ec 1 the second entertainment in the course, which was to have been a lecture, to a concert by the "Great Lakes String Quartet," three violins and a cello. This concert, which costs the girls $2 ^t otethdt tt e original nal one, comes on December 2nd, instead of Nov. 20th, so, that no two of the concerts come in the sante month. The course this season looks like a first class one, and the citizens are to be congratu- lated upon having such a series of ex- cellent concerts in prospect. DEATH OF MRS. T. MASON.
