The admission will be free, and a general good time is promised to all. Coffee and cake will be served free after the cake walk. Noel’s Meat Market on wheels will call at your house Saturday morning, with all choice cuts of beef, poultry, fish, etc. From ihe February 7, 1890, Issue of The Enterprise
