The entertainment given at the opera house last Friday evening by Noah BATTLE
was not very well attended though the singing is said to have been about as
good as that of some of the traveling troupes.
Epworth League song service at the Methodist church next Sabbath evening at
7:30 p.m. sharp. Will take the place of the regular preaching service. A good
program is being arranged. Please bring your Bibles.
We have noticed a large number of corn harvesters going out within the past
few days. Farmers who have a large amount of stock to feed find it too much
work to cut up a sufficient amount of corn by hand.
We notice in our exchanges accounts of numerous games of base ball between
the "fats" and the "leans," and in every instance that we have notes the "fats"
have won. The lean men's supposedly great agility doesn't appear carry them
through this season.
Stephen SCOTT is making some extensive improvements in his building occupied
by M. S. BENEFIEL's restaurant. The entire front is being torn out and it
will be replaced with a modern front of pressed brick with a bay window in the
second story. It will make it one of the neatest business blocks in Garden
Grove.
