THE CARNIVAL
VALENTINE MERCHANTS DO
THEMSELVES PROUD
The Epworth lengne Entertainment
iiargly Patronized by Business
Men Complete Account with
Samples of the Poetry
Notwithstanding the many difficulties
under which thoae who participated
worked and the short time in which it
was arranged for and executed the
Merchants Carnival given by the
Epworth League at Cornell Hall last
Friday evening was a success socially
financially and artistically and those
who labored so faithfully for its pro
duction are deserving of much credit
An audience of about 225 people list
ened to the poems recited and songs
sung by the representatives of the
various business houses of the city
aud witnessed the marching of the
ladies as they advertised the patrons
of the Carnival The ensemble was a
picturesque scene a marvelous mix
ture of color harmonious yet dazzling
to the eye and the beauty of the var
ious costumes was only excelled by
by that the ladies who wore them
From the grand march with ban
ers to the closing recitation the atten
tion of the audience was closely held
and applause was of frequent and
spontaneous occurrence The music
was furnished by Mrs J C Northrup
and could not have been excelled
Top strong language cannot be used
in praising Miss Stoner aud her eflici
ent assistants for the waybill which
they managed the entertainment and
the Epworth League also wishes to
extend thanks to those outside the
society for the aid given and assure
them that their services were greatly
appreciated
For the nenefit of our readers who
were not there we give a detailed ac
count of the Carnival and a number
of the poems recited and by the way
as they are all of home manufacture
Valentine has proven herself to be
possessed of considerable poetical abil
ity After a grand inarch around the
hall those on the program seated them
selves on the stage and the business
of the evening commenced Fist came
a chorus Under the Epworths Proud
Banner composed by Dean Efner
and then the various business house3
held the boards as follows
T C HORNBY
Miss Katie Noble represented this
progressive general merchandise store
carrying a banner trimmed on one side
with laces and hung with various arti
cles carried by the store the top of
the banner staff being surmounted by
two fruit cans The poem recited was
very appropriate and does Mr Horn
by and his store no more thau justice
It follows
T 0 Hornbys is the store
Ill sing Its praises oer and oer
Tis there we buy the best we eat
Tea coffee chocolate and supjar sweet
Fresh groceries of every kind
The best canned fruit that you can find
Crackers flakes and Saratoga chips
Syrup rivaling the nectar Jupiter sips
Gold Dust Pearline and all such things
Soap that would bleach an angels wings
And dry goods of the finest brand
Ribbons and laces on every hand
Handsome dress goods and shimmering silk
Sheerest of lawn as white as milk
In fact whatever you wish to buy
In this stone store will catch your eye
And where will you hnd it
Tis the Hub or the town
Which ad revolve around
Whatever T 0 Hornbys do
The others try to follow too
If he advertises in any way
Then advertise do also they
To prove it see them fall in line
And cry their wares as I have mine
That conservative banking institu
tion The Bank of Valentine was rep
resented by Mae Davenport and it
was well represented too The lady
was dressed in black covered with
gold aud silver buttons and wore a
golden crown Hers was one of the
prettiest costumes of the evening
Mrs Harris restaurant was well ad
vertised by Alma Carlson and Frank
Thorn spoke a lew works for jovial
Perry Lawsons barber shop Frank
was dressed in a white apron and
made a very good looking barber

trade of the city were presented by

A Small Jtfire
Last Sunday morning the building
occupied by W A Pettycrews grocery
store in some unaccountable manner
took fire under the rear stairway and
for a time the blaze threatened to be a
serious one Parties coming from
church assisted in bringing the hose
cart to the scene of the fire and the
devouring element was soon under
control Damage about 200 caused
in a great measure by water and ex
cited parties who broke all the front
windows
An Apology
The Democrat wishes to correct
the statement it made a couple weeks
ago to the effect that M Klein had
been elected state central committee
man by the free silver convention It
transpires that he was not elected but
was promised the position this fall
This is not quite so bad as the joke
played on S P Jamison in Boyd
county The free silver people elected
Price state central committeeman
without his knowledge or consent he
being an active opponent of their
faith
