At the monthly meeting of the

share sold tor fifteen per cent and
two for ten per cent. These low
prices were of course caused by
lack of demands for money.
The entertainment by the
Smith Sisters Friday evening was
tully up to all expectations, and we
believe that there w6.s not one in
the audience who did not thorough
ly enjoy the singing and recitations.
The audience present numbered
about 300, but should this sextette
yisit North Platte again it is safe
to say they would be greeted by a
crowded house. The Y. M. C. A.,
under whose auspices the concert
was given, came out a little behind
financially.
