McKOWNVILLE
“Rest Ye Hall” the noted dance hall on Western avenue is gradually becoming more popular every day and we think it is due to the advertising in this paper. We especially invite the old folks out to spend an evening with us. We are sure they will come again. Thompson’s orchestra is furnishing good music and the floor is in wonderful shape for a good old fashioned waltz or whatever it might be. Don’t forget every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings at “Rest Ye” on Western avenue.
