    3. Dayton Items Lafayette Weekly Journal Correspondent Dayton, B. C. Sharpe February 13, 1903 The Rebecca’s of Dayton will give a play entitled, "The Spinster’s Return >From the Klondike," in the Dayton hall next Saturday evening. The play is a sequel to the one given by the Rathbone Sisters some months ago. It will be remembered that the spinsters in that play hear of a demand for women in the Klondike, and so after being made over by Prof. Makeover, they all went to the Frozen Fields of Klondike in search of companions. This play will picture very vividly, the success achieved by the spinsters and is sure to please everyone who attends. The Dayton orchestra will furnish music for the occasion. On Saturday evening of next week the band will give another minstrel in the Dayton Hall. The program will be different in every respect except a few songs which will be repeated. All the jokes will be new and up to date, some new songs will be given and the monologues will be changed. One of the features of the entertainment will be a farce which will take about one hour to play and will be in itself an entire entertainment. The band will render some very fine concert music. In the trial of James Glenn vs. L. E. & W. Railroad company, Mr. Glenn was defeated and will receive no damages for breaking his leg. Messrs. Thompson, Morris, Cantrell, Benham and Keifer were summoned from Dayton last week to Williamsport to attend the trial of Glenn vs. L. E. & W. Courtney Thompson has his saxophone and is beginning to practice with the band. Despite the cold weather a large number were present at Mr. Glaze’s sale in Wyandotte last Wednesday. The M. E. church society furnished dinner. The lecture given by Dr. Cole of Lafayette was enjoyed by all. It was intensely interesting and Dr. Cole held his audience in perfect control for over two hours. His lecture, "A Trip Through the Holy Land," was ably illustrated by Dr. Todd of Lafayette, who used a stereopticon. The next number of the course will be given next week on Thursday evening in the M. E. church, Mr. Pfrimmer, the "Kankakee Poet," will recite and a rare treat is expected. Mrs. Wm. Burkhalter is now recovering from a severe illness. Grandma Furman has recovered from a short spell of sickness. Rev. Wilbur is conducting revival services in Clarkshill at present. One week from next Monday the Rathbones will entertain the members of the Eastern Star lodge. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
