The Old Maids' Conention. One of he most enjoyable entertainments piven in Murray for many a day was the Old Maids' Convention, given at Jenkins' hall last, Saturday evening by the, ladies of the Aid society, under the direction of Mrs. J. F. Mrendel. The attendance was very large, the receipts being almost $90, which will go into the treasury of I he society after the expenses are paid. The great, transforming scene, the wonderful doctor, his powerful remedies and his mon ster transforming machine was, of course, a feature part of the entertainment, at which time each menuier oi trie convention was transformed into the character of their choice. The ladies were all excellent in tin; characters thev represented, as well as the doctor, and many of whom are deserving of personal mention, but not wit nessing the performance the writer is unable to give such men tion, so all we can say is as they told us they were all good.

The figure will be clothed in a canvas cover and will not be open to public view until the un veiling on Labor day. The securing of an orator for the unveiling ceremonies has been turned over to Governor Aldrich, who has not yet been able to secure a marmot suf ficient prominence to suit the ;mmit tee. It is expected that Robert T.
