Little celebration can be held at this time of the year and it happens that Thanksgiving Day is within a few weeks. What made the situation worse this year was that the day fell on Saturday and it was observed by some atorekeepera here on Monday and not by others while the banks and post oiee were closed on Saturday, causing contusion. _ ' A quarter of a centurvv we have been blending ' ' corn-:2 KM-:ncHAN1's, BARBIE. 3:. gm. um ` a fixed vaIue,tl:rough their price on the sole A3454` A good cause makes a strong arm."

At this . hour Mr. Charles Palling of Allandale, in `his usual witty style and genial manner, stepped to the platform with a good programme and introduced the different artists who had been engaged to entertain the large gather- ing. At this time the audience were -ripe to receive something in return for the.price paid for admission to the hall. Their ex pectations were fully realized as each artist gave his or her number ; encores were numerous.
