MAGNOLIA 
Notwithstanding the uncertain 
weather Wednesday evening a 
good-sized audience greeted Rev. 
F, J. Libby in the first of the series 
of stereopticon lectures at the Vil- 
lage church, Magnolia. The subject 
treated was the Yosemite Valley 
and. California, and’ was an ac- 
count rather of the personal experi- 
ences of the speaker than of knowl- 
edge gained from reading. The 
views were excellent, especially 
those of the Yosemite Valley, and 
of San Francisco before and after 
the earthquake. Mr. Libby deliv- 
ered his lecture in a very entertain- 
ing way and held the attention of 
his audience for over an hour. The 
object of these lectures is to raise 
funds for the church. About ten 
dollars was realized Wednesday 
<yening. Chester Knight operated 
the stereopticon machine. 
John. Ferguson has _ returned 
from the Provinces and is again 
employed at the Coolidge estate for 
the summer. 
Rev. Mr. Stackpole of Boston, 
former pastor at the Village church, 
with Mrs. Stackpole, arrived Wed- 
nesday for the season, and are oc- 
cupying the upper Allyn cottage.

During the thunder storm Wed- 
nesday afternoon lightning struck 
the Underwood cottage near the

boards and some shingles torn off 
the roof was the extent of the dam- 
age, outside the fright given the 
Servants in the cettage. Mrs. Geo. 
P. Wilshire of Cincinnati, who has 
hired the house, was expected Wed- 
nesday, but fortunately she did not 
arrive on that day.
