Monday Night
Hall Building
Monday was Z. T. McClay’s
67th birthday, and he gave a
dancing party in the Redmond
hall and invited all his friends to
come and have a good time,
which they did. During the
evening refreshments were serv
ed. Mr. McClay received a num
ber of useful presents and the
well wishes of a host of friends.
“Mac,” as he is familiarly called,
is as lively and light on his feet
as he was 40 years ago, so he
says, and those who saw him
"jigging” Monday night would
never take him to be 67 years
old. Both Mrs. McClay and
“Mac” made short talks and
thanked their friends for their
expressions and tokens of kind
ness and friendship.
The Spokesman is informed
that J. A. Failgatter of this city,
is going to put up a 30x80 foot
building on north Sixth street to
tie used as a hall for dances, etc.
Mr. Failgatter says it is the in
tention to put in a 15-foot stage
and a hard wood floor so the place
can be used as a roller skating
rink part of the time. He also
contemplates giving moving pic
ture shows in the building two
or three nights each week. Lum
ber for the building is now on
the ground and it is expected to
have the hall finished by Nov. 1.
