For farther particulars inquire of Miss Chilcote or Bud Sigler. William Demar is a great smiler. If you ask the reason, he will inform you he wears the medal for being the best crokinole player in town. Mt. Ayr has organized an orchestry of seven pieces. We wish them success. Any one in need of good music, call upon them ■* Rev. Austin of Rensselaer begins* a series of meetings at the M. E. church, Monday evening, Jan., 20. .
