A number of people from town attended the "dedica tion" whose names are mentioned by our Fairview correspondent.

Some boxes, packing and paper were burued, it being supposed that they were set on fire by a match or cigar blowing in through the basement window Mr. Whitfield was probably thinking of that old adage- "It never rains but it pours" about that time, the fire following so close ly upon the poisoning of himself and fam- An entertainment will be given by Miss Ada Heist at the Baptist church on Satur day evening, May t6, under the auspices of the Y.

Admission, children 15 cents, adults 25 cents. Not a very large house greeted the pre sentation of "The New Dominion" at the opera heuse last Monday night but it was deserving the best patronage the city af fords. The play is charming and the players make it very entertnining. The part of the' German baron by Edgar A. Martin could hardly be improved upon the guilelessness, yet withal the shrewd ness of a German nobleman who is a sci entist for pleasure and who is not very well acquainted with the English language, is delightfully and humorously portrayed. H. O. Martip plays the "villainV part in a manner to his credit. The characters of Martha, a wronged "poor relation" per sonated by Mrs. F. C. Williams and Josephine, a sprightly young southern beauty, by Mrs. Delaney, were splendidly done, while the baron's sweetheart, played by Mrs. William Frackelton, was consid ered very well plaed by many. There is a certain amateurish stinffess in the act ing of some in the caste but the leading roles are so well taken that this does not detract from the pleasure of the produc tion, especially as it is a fault that time soon will efface. Manager Martin is con sidering the organization of a stock com pany for the coming season to play at cit ies in this section of country. If he does so he will bo justified in anticipating good houses whenever they visit Allance. A Welcome Homo. A largo number of friends atlondod the reception given Rev. Dr. Horri at tho Methodist church last Friday evening and tho occasion wh one of great pleasure to tliosu who had come to greet the returned trnvjlor and to him to again meet the friends from whom ho had parted six months ago and who during that timohavc followed him in his travels with such in ternal. The opening address was made by Alex Muirhcad who in a happy speech welcomed homo tho pastor of tho church and made wclcomo his many friends Jrotn outside his church who were present. A number of short addresses of a .similar nature followed by Rev. G. C. Jeffers of the Baptist church, Rev. Dr, Bogue of the First Presbyterian, Rev. Howie of the United Presbyterian, Rev. G. B. Clark, of St. Matthew's Episcopal church, and Rev, J, A, Scamahorn of Gordon, presid ing older of tho district. Miss Wilma Frew and Mrs. M. E. Johnson contributed to tho pleasure of the assembly by the sing ing of two bcautifu solos. . A reception committee consisting of Mesdamcs Norton, Young and Quivey greeted the guests at the door and ushered them into the presence of Dr. and'Mrs. Horn, Rev. M, L. Sanders and Mr. and Mrs. Ira Reed who wcro receiving. Choc olate and wafers were served. Socially, the rccepjion was a successful affair and the genuine pleasure of all present can safely be said to have been far greater than on ordinary social occasions and will long linger in the memory of the guest of honor and the many assembled there to show their regard for him. lt-W4JV.V To the Dnplist Anniversaries. Rev, and Mrs. Jeffers leave on No. 42 Monday morning for Buffalo, N. Y., reach ing that city Wednesday morning, where they will be in attendance for one week upon tho natioual Baptist anniversaries. Then they will visit tho "old folks at home" in central New York for three weeks. During Rev, Jeffers' absence, his pulpit will be supplied May 24 and 31 by Rev. Post of Lincoln. Sunday, June 7, Rev. Wesley will preach in tho morning. In the evening tho young people of the church will render a program. This trip is another token of regard from the Baptist people to their pastor, many of which havo been shown and have been mentioned in these columns in tho past, Knowing the pleasure it would be to them to visit their son and other rela tive in their former home the congregation thought it best that for thoir pastor's sum mer vacation they should provide funds for thi3 trip and accordingly they did so. Moreover, the inspiration such a meeting as the one at Buffalo is to a minister can be of great benefit to his congregation for time to come. Presbyterian C. E. Program.

Joseph Duhon of Sheridan. Wyo., was in town two days the first part of tho week. In publishing the names of tho teachers re-elected last week the name of Miss Laravea was inadvertently omitted. The patrons of tho school nro pleased to know that slio is among tho number retained. We deem this explanation of the omission necessary lest wo credited with being a gossip and starting false sjories for wo havo been asked if Miss Laravea were to be married this fall and hence had not applied for her position. ' Our readers will doubtless note that our correspondence is less than usual this week and it is duo to tho fact that owing to our limited space during the 1 resent in flux of advertising wo havo been obliged to request our correspondents to limit thoir communications, with tho exception of Hemingford when! we havo a very largo list of subscribers.

It was a 'basket social and the shadow profiles of of the fair owners were auctioned to highest bidders. Under this regime the twenty-eight ladies book nearly $50.
