ANNUAL CHARITY ENTERTAINMENT

Program For Next Tuesday Evening’s Gathering at foe Presbyterian Church—Your Help Needed. - The annual before Thanksgiving entertainment for the benefit of the charity fund and for the purpose of providing a good Thanksgiving dinner for every family in Rensselaer that might otherwise fail to have one is to be held at the Presbyterian church next Tuesday evening. The program is published herewith. The ladies in charge of this entertainment, who also give heed to the needs of the poor of this city throughout the winter, hope that the offering will be greater than ever before. There will be about thirty chickens needed. It is desirous that these will be donated, as it takes so much of the cash to buy them in case they are not given. Any fairly well-tp-do family can spare a chicken to help make some lpss fortunate family happy on Thanksgiving day. Other things will be welcomed. Flour and potatoes are needed as well as chickens. Mrs. C. A. Roberts, Mrs. A. P. Burton or Mrs. Delos Thompson will be pleased to suggest to you things that will help the most. Make the silver offering liberal Jthis year. The ladies say that besides the donations of things to eat, the cash offering on that night should be at least SIOO.
