UNCLE CHARLIE. PULLINS WINS

Old Fiddler’s Contest—Parks and Bicknell Tie for Second Prize. The old fiiddleys’ contest, held at the Moose Home Thursday evening, will help to make this Thanksgiving an occasion long to be remembered in the minds of the members of tho Moose lodge. There was a very large crowd of enthusiastic and loyal Moose out and several Visitors were present, as each member was allowed to bring a gentleman friend on that occasion. ** Three prizes were given, “Uncle” Charley Pullins winning the first prize, Adrian Bicknell the second

and "m*'’ Parks the third. Uncle Charley surprised them all by dancing a jig, Billy Parks and Adrian Bicknell playing the accompaniment. The sweet and harmonious tones produced by Uncle Charley’s violin go to show that a violin, well used, improves with age, as his violin is about 216 years old. Uncle Charley

is one of our substantial citizens and one well known in the community. A fine time was enjoyed by all and every one pronounced the occasion a grand Success. Next Thursday evening, December 7, Father Rapp of St. Joseph college will deliver a lecture at the Moose club rooms, and at that time Mrs. Loren C. Sage of this city, accompanied by her husband, will render a few vocal selections, which will enjoyed by all On Deeefnber 27 the members of the Moose lodge intend to hold a rabbit roast and barbeque.
