A meeting of the members of the
May Festival Chorus and others
interested occurred at the college
chapel last Tuesday evening. The
attendance was large. The com
mittee appointed to secure books,
reported that the music house from
whiih they had been ordered bad
been unable to 1111 the order imme
diately, but the books are expected
to arrive any day. A lecture by
Mr. Wallis Nash, previous to prac

"The Village Parson.'
"The Village Parson'' will enact his
life's story to all who may flock to the
Opera House, where the company appear
next Tuesday evening, Jaunary 21st. In
this production there is much religious
ami dramatic emotion, and the piece is
remarkably clean and lofty ia detail.
Church people can well draw a parallel
between soma of our "latter day saints''
and the ideal village preacher who is not
liven to lickle vauities as portrayed by
the Rev. Tom God ley. Church people
whe sneeze at the stage would do well to
see "The Village Tarson'' and learn
therefrom the art of forbearance and true

Chas. Hout came near suffer
ing considerable loss from fire
last Monday evening. Mr. Hout
has a smoke house near the Far
mers Hotel and recently put
about 3,000 pounds ot hams in
it to smoke them. About 8
o'clock Monday evening William
Howell, proprietor of the above
mentioned hotel, discovered that
there was considerable fire in
the smoke house and investi
gation proved that the establish
ment and its contents were on
fire. He promptly broke the
door down and managed to ex
tinguish the flames.
It is supposed that one of the
sticks supporting the hams broke
and the meat, tailing into the
flames, caused such a blaze that
the strings that tied the hams
up were burned off and nearly
all of the hams fell down. Mr.
Hout estimates his loss at about
$60. A fire alarm was turned
in, but before the department
could reach the scene of the ex-
citeuienr, word- was passed that
the fire was out.
