Wabash Glee Club Gave Delightful Entertainment.

The Wabash College Glee Club entertained a crowded house at the Presbyterian church last evening. About 425 tickets were sold. The program was carried out without a hitch and every number brought fbrth a round of applause. The Mandolin Club made a decided hit and it was with great reluctance that the audience let them out of the “spot light.”

Mr. Burns with his number “A Scratch Qn the Canvas” brought forth many laughs from the audience, who were delighted with his number. Wabash College has always paid particular attention to its talented students and every year sends out a troup of entertainers with a bunch of new “stunts” that catch the popular fancy everywhere.

“Suffered day and night the torment of Itching piles. Nothing helped me until I used Doan’s Ointment. The result was lasting.”—Hon. John R. Garrett, Mayor, Girard, Ala.
