BASKET SOCIAL AND CONCERT.

~--Uwilig to the had r‘on'li§ion of thc r-'rf-~lf=, the basket social urrll Concert at South Pittette Schoolhouse on Wed- ncstluy. :lrd insl., did not draw a full ,house-_ but the lack in numbers was cnuntcrbnlancetl by the intense en- thusinxsru and interest of the audience. Hut] thc conditions been favourable, accomniodation could not have been provldcd for those who would have attended. An excellent programme, much above tlaosc usually performed .in remote hnmiets and comparing [favourably with those seen ln large centres of population, was rendered in a manner satisfactory to everybody. Tile district of South Pinette is par- ticularly grateful for the valuable assistance freely and readily given by Miss; Mabel Mclnnis anti Mr William Mclnnis, of Ilnsebcry, \vho were as zealous und unremltting in the work ns any resident of South Plnctte. Mr Neil Ross also rendered valuable ser- vice. It may be said that all acted thc-ir parts acceptubly and well, ami there wasn't a dull moment during the entire evening. Under the competent and skilful hands of Messrs Neil Mor- rison and Il. H. Hubley the seating arrangements were admirably exe- cuted. Angus McKenzie must also be remembered. The sale of baskets fol- lowed the programme. and it may be seen how spirited and lively was the bidding when each basket fetched somewhat over $2 on an average. l\lr 'l`.~W. Morrison and C. S. MacDonald were,the auctioneors. The proceeds totalling over $40, are to be applied to improvements of the school ground. Mr C. S. MacDonald was chairman. Following is the programme:-Chorus.
