Reliance Citerary Society
The Reliance Literary Society added an
other feather to their cap oa Thursday
night. They gave one of the best enter
tainments and the best debates ever giveu
at Cheiriawa. Mr. Campbell said it was the
, very best.
' The debates showed careful preparation
and the judges must have found it diffi

stive side was ably championed by Eug
ene Geffe who m eloquent and forceful
words presented the arguments, which
won the judgoB to decide in favor of his
side. He waa ably assisted by Jessie
Crook and Silas Mood.
The affirmative had an enthusiastic
supporter, John Harris, who was the prin
cipal speaker on that side. John Benson
In the opinion of many made the best
speech of the evening. The other speaker
on the affirmative Walter Dyke sur
prised bis friends by bis fine voice and
eloquence.
The rest of the program was just as
gooi as tbe debate which is saying a great
deal.
The make up and acting of James Ar.

sional. The play waa so good that many of
the little people wanted It all. over again.
John Btaey gave the history of the Be
Iiance Society and Oscar McCIoud gave a
fine oration.
The Reliance baud played most beauti
fully and taken altogether it was a lovely
charming evening.
