Last evening was the last enter tainment of the Lyceum course and was one of the most pleasing of the series. We regret, nowever. to learn that the patronage of the lecture course has proved insufficient to meet the expenses of the same, a deficit of of some $30 existing to be met by the promoters. We trust our peodle will generously support the second presentation of “The Deacon,” tomorrow (Friday) night, at Pilger s opera house, given by our home talent: not only because you will be happiiy entertained, but because the proceeds go toward the purchase of a piano for the high school building, a most laudable pur pose. and entitling the drama to be given to the fullest house possible.

Furniture store here has in connection with his father at Dannebrog. purchased the Skiff furni ture business at St. Paul and will take charge of the same the first of May next.

Chris is a bright, active young business man, and will undoubtedly make good in his new location. Our loss is St. Paul’s gain. We wish for him and his family much success in their future business and social relations. SURPRISES. Rev. and Mrs. D. W. Montgom ery Nicejy Remembered by Friends at Their Former Home [Below we copy from the Williams burg (la.) Journal-Tribune very satis factory evidences of the popularity and esteem in which tiie new Presby terian minister and estimable 'wife were held by the people of their for mer pastorate.—Ed. 1 On Friday’ evening last, the deacons and elders of the Presbyterian churel quietly invaded the paisonage ant made known their desire to see theii pastor. It so happened that Re\. Montgomery was in bed. sutlerin; from a slight indisposition, and to hi chamber the invaders were shown. Lining in single file around the bed j A tty. R. W. Pugh soon made knowi ! the intent and errand of the visitors. Hi intimated that the invasion was a friendly one and held that we are commanded to watch as well as pray, and here, fitting the action to the word, he drew forth a handsome, gold watch which he presented to the pastor as a personal gift from the deacons and elders. Rev. Montgomery admitted that while he had often been called upon to speak under embarrasing circum stances this was the first time the de mand came to him while in bed. How ever, he was able to show his deep ap preciation for the gift and in a few well chosen words heartily thanked the visitors and referred to tiie always pleasant relations that had existed between the pastor and the official boards. Last Friday was the regular meet ing of the Woman's Guild of the Pres byterian church and the Ogden home held nearly all the members. Following the regular routine of business the ladies carried out a neat surprise on Mrs. D. W. Montgomery, who was presented with a handsome hand painted china dish. The presen tation speech was as graceful as it was tactful and the response by Mrs. Montgomery was in a particularly happy vein clearly showing her skill as an impromptu speaker and more than ever winning her way into the hearts of those present. The surprise features were hiight ened by the serving of a splendid luncheon over which the members spent a delightful hour. Among the workers of the Woman's Guild none is held in higher esteem than is Mrs. Montgomery and the favor extended on this occasion was but a slight reflection of the love and respect her worth so abundantly merits.
