His daily trips homeward and back take him by a house where a dog resides who enjoyed nothing better than a good race with Mr. Harris, and was in the habit of giving him a little spurt daily, but this day he made a miscalculation and instead of keeping his side of the track attempted to cross over to the other side and in so doing was struck amidships and Mr. harris founds himself smoothing down the rough spots on the road bed. He says he prefers walking now-a-days.
Prof. J.I. Sears’ concert Saturday evening at the M.E. church, was one of the finest ever given in our village, although it was very poorly attended, which clearly shows how few of our people are really interested in a first class entertainment when it costs 25 cents. We noticed the walk in front of the church was filled to overflowing and all seemed to enjoy the program hugely but couldn’t afford to buy a ticket. This is but the second musicale Prof. Sears has given in our village and we fear it will be the last as our people do no seem to appreciate a good entertainment. A little 10 cent soap show catches them better.
The celebration. Big preparations are being made for our celebration July 4th., and no pains or money are being spared to make it one of the grandest affairs ever given in our village. The Barrington band of 21 pieces has been engaged to furnish music for the day. The morning program will open at 10 o’clock with a parade of the Calathumpians, prizes being awarded to the best disguised characters.
