Tho Christian Endeavor Society Will Give a Public Meeting, A Washington meeting of the Christian Endeavor society will be held tomorrow evening at 8 o’clock at the Presbyterian church, which is being tastefully decorated for the oc- casion. A program of interesting addresses and singing similar to the exercices at the great meetings held recently at washington has been ar- ranged. Rev. Mr. Campbell is to present a few facts concerning the aims of the endeavorers, but he holds that the young and talented officers shall have entire charge of the pro- gram and make the meeting attract- lve to the general public. THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY. What a Local Merchant Tailor Has to Say on Present Prices. During the Iatter part of the sum- er months business in all lines has a tendency toward dullness, and mer- hant tailoring is no exception to the rule. In fact the quiet season effects this business to a more pronounced degree than most any other. If buy- ers of tailor made clothes—and this includes almost every gentleman in Grand Rapids—would bear this fact in mind and order their fall and win- ter suits and overcoats late in the summer they could save a great many dollars every year, and at the same time be sure of getting the best pos- sible work done—because in these days work is never rushed. August Johnson. with his usual en terprise and business push, proposes to keep busy if low prices, good work and first-class stock can do it. Mr. Johnson has 150 yards of clay worsted suitings in blue and black which he will sell at actual cost and will make up the goods as desired ata reduction of 20 per cent from regular prices. He also has about 100 yards of Ger- man Birdseye in blue and black on which he is making the same offer. In addjtion to this he has a number of suits already made up which have not been called for and which he will sell at just what they cost. Thisis no fake advertising. Call on Mr. Johnson and you will be con- vinced that now is the time to have clothes made to order. At the prices now offered you can save 25 per cent and in some instances even a greater amount. Having a Good Time. The union excursion of the Presby- terian and Methodist churches 1s be- ing held today on the steamer Little Eagle which left Allen’s landing this morning on its trip over Lake Pokeg- ama and up the Mississippi. It is a delightful ride and the crowd went well supplied with provisions for lunch time and_ with fishing outfits that can be brought into use if neces- sary. Quite a number of young folks were in the party and when the day is over the tabs of the social circle will be fairly well checked up con- cerning present and prospective en- gagements and future society events. The Haunted Mill. A gratifying audience greeted the local dramatic company in its presen- tation of the drama entitled “The Haunted Mill,” at Village hall on Tuesday evening. The parts were played very acceptably and many fav- orable comments were heard upon the janner in which the participants did heir work. The music and singing tween the acts was also highly ap- reciated. The entertainment closed ith the interesting tableaux, ‘The ixecution of Mary Queen of Scots,’’ DEFEC IVE PAGE.
