The entertainm e n t given in the parish house Wednesday night, under the auspices of the Christian E n deavor Society was greatly enjoyed by those present, thougli the attendance was sm all on account of the storm . Carl Dexter proved himself a clever entertainer and he kept the audience in continual laughter. Mrs. Dexter could not be present, being detained by the storm in the city. Beside the excellent selections by Carl Dexter, Mr. Avogadro gave two violin solos, accompanied by Mrs. W ebster on the piano, and Miss Faling and Mrs. W eb ster rendered Instrum ental selections.

Then why not pur chase your supplies at home, save the difference and have more money for car fare and entertainm e n t, and by so doing make It possible for the lo cal m e rchant to keep constantly on hand all and whatever you may de sire. x W h at does Bargain or Sale Day mean? City stores as a rule display and sell on these occasions quantities of broken sizes and odds and ends at prices not much if any less than cost and by this bait allure the subur banite, who finds, upon exam ination, that all sized, stable and seasonable goods are the same on all days. We selected and called upon a store, which by the nature of the stock we assumed never had a regular bar gain or sale day—Olsen’s Furniture Store— b u t in answer to our inquiry we learned that every Wednesday in that store was bargain day; in augurated and m aintained for the purpose of calling not only, the shop per who wanted a specific article but all those who know values and would purchase whatever they might need when they saw it offered at reduced prices. Their bargain day is given exclusively, by all hands to the shop pers and as a result a regular day's receipts is double or trebled if not quadrupled and thus the quick turning of large quantities of m e r chandise even at sm all profit works a great advantage to all concerned.
