esting entertainments and basket so­
cials of the season. The Banks Brass
Band of twenty-one pieces has kindly

features ol the program wiil be the

sisting of fifteen pieces, furnished by
Banks’ people. Altogether it will be
something entirely out of the ordinary.
After the program, the baskets will be
sold. Admission will be 25 cents to
those not bringing baskets— to be re­
funded to those buying baskets. Ev­
erybody come and bring a basket and
enjoy the fun. Curtain goes up at 8
