Those receiving them were, Joe K6Sta, Steve Brusnahan, Alex. Hurley, Chas. Reed and ’ Vic tor Yeoman. Joe Thomas and John Lonergan are prospective silo purchasers. These recent purchases would seem to put Union township ahead in the silo line. Harmount’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin Co., which played here Saturday night,! fared exceedingly well. -Their large tent was literally packed, all ithe seats and even all the standing being sold. Matiy people also stayed for the concert that was given after the regular show. The show, from all reports, was very good for its kind, and the audience was well pleased with the performance.
