Pie Social at Sturgeon
A grand pie social and concert was held a few evenings ago in Sturgeon School.

After the opening remarks by the chairman, Mr. John Jamieson, the following programme was rendered:
Opening song and chorus - A. Jackson, T. Mason and Miss Mason.
Dialogue, "A Hard Witness" - J. A. Steele, J. M Smith, A Jackson, J. Conrad and Leslie McKinnon.

The chief feature of the evening was the sale of pies by Messrs. John A. Steele, A. Jackson and James M. Smith, - all first class auctioneers. Notwithstanding the large crowd the best of order prevailed during the concert and sale of pies. The sum of $49.50 was realized and was donated to a charitable cause.
