Charity Board to Give Entertainment November 24.

The charity board of Rensselaer is arranging to give an entertainment at the Methodist church, Friday, Nov. 24th. The entertainment is to be given in the interest of the poor on Thanksgiving and although it will be free, everyone is asked to donate either food or money on this evening. The food will be placed in the church basement and distributed a day or two before Thanksgiving to the poor of the city. Anything that the public can donate will be much appreciated by the needy on this day. The money which is donated will be used by the committee in charge in buying foodstuffs of a kind of which there is not much donated. The entertainment will be in the nature of a musical entertainment and will provide the double motive of entertaining the people and at the same time helping the poor of the city. The program will be published later.
