Read- er at Port Perry, and made the presentation indicated in the following address: . To Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Reader, Dear Friends--You have lived with us for so many years that we thought of you as part of us, and could scarcely believe that ou would find it necessary to egve us. But that necessity has arisen, and your friendship and neighbourly kindness are being missed. Friends and neighbours such as you are not easily secured and naturally we are sorry whén we part from you. Fortunately you are not far away, and your interest in the old home is not lessened. We often meet you with pleasure and each meeting is a reminder of happy associations. As tokens of our good will and appreciation of what you have meant to us, we wish you to ac- cept these gifts: + Toyou, Mrs. Reader, thisclock, which we hope will record many golden hours of pleasure and profit in your home; and-- To you, Mr. Reader, this um- brella, which we trust will be a protection and comfort to you. A most enjoyable social even- ing was spent by the assembled friends. Mr, and Mrs. Reader expressed warm appreciation of "the -kind neighbourliness that |car had been shown.

MINSTREL SHOW When an entertainment much exceeds expectations satisfaction is guaranteed, Well, that's the way it worked "out on Monday evening when Smokeville's Up- per Ten Thousand were intro- duced by Iuterlocutor William Clark. They were a great ag- gregation -- "the finest ever seen. Sprightly as kittens-- some of them--and just bubbling over with fun. Laughing was contagious. Everyone was at it. Even the most solemn broke into a smile. It was no place to keep a secret, as the poor fellow who stole the baseball diamond to give to his best girl, found out. Such a continous stream of jokes and songs has not been heard in a dog's age. It was a good show to drive dull care away. Everything was just fun -- all that was suggestive of the low toned and unpleasant being conspicuous by its absence. It was pleasing to see prominent men taking part and enjoying the fun: The hall was packed full, and many could not get in. The proceeds were $47.40, and that result is very good with the small admission of 10c. and bc. There will be no meeting next Monday evening on account of the St. Patrick's supper and en- tertainment in the Presbyterian Church.
