LAFAYETTE KNIGHTS IN MINSTREL SHOW

Columbus Club Coming Here Friday for Performance at the Catholic Sch,ool Hall.

T. M. Callahan and Lon Healy of the Columbus (flub, of Rensselaer, have arranged to have the Lafayette Council Knights of Columbus Min-, strels come here for a performance Friday evening and the price of admission to the Catholic school hall, where the show will has been placed at 25 cents. The Knights of Columbus, of Lafayette, have a minstrel company that has received many favorable notives and is said to be clever in every way. The company is composed of eighteen people, comedians, singers and musicians. It has been a long time since a real minstrel show has visited Rensselaer and it is quite certain that a packed house will greet the interlocutor, bones and tamborine when the curtain rises. It is expected by the local Knights of Columbus members to eventually get a council started here. To do this requires that there be twenty-one-insurance members and of the seventeen in Rensselaer now belonging to the order only three carry insurance, so it will probably be some time before the required number are secured to form a local council. The members, who in the main belong at Lafayette, are all enthusiastic about the order, and the minstrel show is given to prointerest as well as for the pleasant social features connected therewith.
