A social dance will be given by the Elks at Lyceum hall, Wednesday evening, February 4. Visiting Elks are especially invited to attend. This function is held more for the purpose of a "get together" meeting of Elks and the ladies, for the purpose of laying plans for making a big success of the annual charity ball, which will be given on February 19, and it is the hope of the committee that there will be a full attendance, when the men can discuss ways and means, and the ladies can compare notes on the gowns they are to wear at the big event, etc., etc. It is hoped that you will turn out, Bills, and bring your wives and sweethearts along.
