“Darktown Minstrels” 

Successfully Presented 

It required two evenings’ performances to accommodate the large crowd of folks who desired to see the “Darktown Minstrels” at Masonic hall last week, and then many people had to be turned away besides. It only remains for the local cast to say the word, black up, and manufacture a few new jokes on our home people, and we’ll fill the hall again. 

Part 1 of the program was made up of a dozen popular songs sung in chorus, quartet, duet, and solo, interspersed with the richest of humor that kept the audience in a roar of laughter from the start, from “Lovin’ Sam” to “Mammy.” It was a “scream,” according to the way many people described it. 

The treasury of the Goodfellowship class of the Reformed church is enriched by more than $150 as a result of the two nights’ show. 

PARKER’S CORNERS 

Emma, little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Decker, jr., who has just been operated on for appendicitis, now has contracted scarlet fever and has been removed from the Ellis hospital, where no contagious cases are allowed, to the home of Lorenzo Cormick on Campbell avenue. NEW SCOTLAND 

A new club has been formed in the village of New Scotland, called the “New Scotland Community Club.” Its aims are social and fraternal and its membership list reaches out to every man and woman resident of the village. The spirit of the club is to strive for the happiness and prosperity of our own individual community; to do all we can to promote each other’s welfare and to co-operate “day by day in every way; to make New Scotland better and better.” There is an incentive to every one to join. The meetings are arranged for the first and third Thursdays of each month at the Town Hall and each meeting will be followed by a social hour to make the evening enjoyable. Our next meeting held on Thursday evening, May 17th, will be followed by a box party and dance and we earnestly hope that New Scotland will turn out en masse to enjoy the occasion.
