Much of the credit is due to\nthe individual effort of Mr. Kirby,\nwho superintended Ihe Bxtng of the\nstage, rustled the program, acted\nas stage manager and chairman\nand, as Mr. Sprij,rt,rins, sustained\nIhe leading part ofthe play.\n\"Ici On Parle Francais\" is a\nsimple little play and does not afford\nmuch scope either in the elaboration\nof lhe different parts or in the costumes used, to attempt to embellish\nit is to detract so much from its cited ivoness. Mr. Spriggins was at\ncourse the central Bgure and the\nmany embarassing situations iii\nwhich he constantly found himself\nin pursuance of his mercenary\nscheme created much amusement in\nthe audience.

The lirst was a musical treat; lhe second a laughable\nfarce in one act entitled \"Ici On\nParle Francais\" and the third the\ninevitable dance, without which an\nevening's entertainment in the Lower Similkameen is considered about\nas incomplete as an Irish wake\nwithout any whiskey.\nThe musical entertainment opened with a pianoforte solo by Miss\nLowndes ot lleillev, whose kindness\nin assisting with the concert was\ngreatly appreciated by the Keremeos peop'e.

Sidewalks.\nThe rapidity with which improvements, onee under way, can he earned through in Keremeos has heen :\nwell demonstrated hy the laying of\nonr sidewalks. Last week vve reported that walks on either side of:\nMain Street were an accomplished\nfaet and expressed tlie hope that j\nthe link required to Connect them\nwith the post olliee and depot would\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0000 follow. The forms were\nscarcely off the press when we\nlearned that a Subscription was he-\niltg taken up with this ohjeet in\nview. For the sake of the cost it\nvv as at first proposed to make the\nwalk along the west side of Sev ent li\nStreet only four feet wide but it\nwas readily seen that this would be\nfalse economy, as such a walk\nwould very soon have to be replaced by a wider one, and an agreement was soon arrived at between\nthe citizens and Townsite Co.,\nwhereby each put up a little more\nand an eight*foot walk of the same\nsubstantial nature as the rest vvas\nsubstituted.\nThere now remains only a few\ncrossings to he pal in and our town\nwill be admirably equipped with\nwalks which vvill not only add great*\nly to the convenience and comforts\nof the citizens themselves and enhance the value of their properly\nbut will make a most favorable impression on visitors and investors\nwho are constantly happening along.\nMoth the citizens and the Town-\nsite Co. are lo be congratulated on\nthe enterprise they have shown. 11\nhas cost the latter a considerable\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0um but it has heen money well\nspent ami vve have no doubt vvill be\nquickly recovered in lhe increased\nvalues of the ii tide lots.\nEffects of Air Drainage.\nIt is stated that the peach crop\nin the Niagara peninsula and other\ndistricts of Ontario will likely he a\ntotal failure this season, owing lo\nthe thawing and freezing to which\nthe trees have heen subjected. In\nour own district il is now relieved\nthat the damage from frost will not\nbe as great as anticipated. The\nprimers aie now working among\nthe trees and it is found that only\nin orchards sheltered from the wind,\nand where in consequence the ther-\nntometei diopped lower, do the\nfruit buds show ev ideitce of Injury.\nThis is hut another prod that the\nwind, of which we hear so many\ncomplaints, is not an unmixed evil.\n\"Ait drainage\" or a free circulation of the air among the trees ot\nan orchard is just as essential as\nproper drainage of lhe soil.
