LITERARY SOCIETY NOTES 'On Friday evening October 30, the gymnasium was the scene of much "merry making." The occasion was celebrating in a joyful way the mystic night of Hallowe'en. The three literary societies were present as a body, the Vespertines and Normals being the guests of the Delphians. The decorations were simple but attractive and very suggest ive. Jack o'lanterns were much in evidence and both their smil ing and bewitching faces pro claimed that on one night of the year at least they, "are mon archsof all they survey" for they peeped from every crook and cranny of the spaciousjoom. At either end of the room were canopies or evergreens which hung in graceful festoons.

OUR ENTERTAINMENT COURSE The First Number a Decided Success A LARGE AUDIENCE GREETS LECTURER A Good Sale of Seaon Ticket I Reported By the Can vassing Board. The first number of the Third Annual Citizens' Entertainment Course was given Thursday night, October 29, in the Normal As-. sembly Hall. An audience of about 200 was in attendance and general satisfaction with the entertainment was expressed. The Committee reports a sale of 72 adult season ickets and 79 student and children tickets. Total receipts were $180.30, of which $12.80 represent sale of single admissions. Payment for 16 season tickets has not been reported to the treasurer, some of which is probably in the hands of the Committee and some still unpaid. It will confer a favor on the committee if all who have not paid for their season ticket will kindly pay either the treasurer Ira C. Powell, at the Bank, or the Acorn Bookstore. The next number of the Course . will be an extra attraction, se cured at a special price so that the committee feels authorized to say that the original course of five numbers will be increased to six. This extra number will be given next Tuesday evening," November 10, at 8:15 p. m. by Otto F. L Herse, Tenor, assisted by Frank A. White, Pianist A varied program of classical and popular selections will be offered by these talented musicians, who come highly recommended. This will offer another oppor tunity to all who failed to secure season tickets before the first number, since there will still be five entertainments in the regu lar course, with whatever extras the receipts justify. All who de sire season tickets may secure them at the Acorn Bookstore at the following prices: Adults $1.50, children and students $1. The committee hopes to secure another regular number early in December. Died. Laws At 6 p. m. Thursday October 29, at her home near Bridgeport, Mrs. Delia Laws, wife of Frank Laws. Age 32 years.
