TIE necktie festival to be held on the
22d inst under the management of the la
dies aud gentlemen designated in the pro
gramme published in another place bids
fair to be of an interesting character. Its
object being to raise funds for the support
of the Episcopal Church, which needs all
the assistance the good people of Cantor
feel disposed to give, as 1t is small in mum
Der and its expenses necessarily have to BE-
borne by very few individuals The gen
eral benevolent disposition u manifested
BY Lincoln county people on like occa
sions for other churches, will doubtless be
displayed on this occasion The theory
of the necktie plan is, that every gentle
man in attendance pays 5 cents admission
tee aud FIVE cents for necktie, which
will be made Of like material of some la
dy's dress in attendance, and the purchaser
of the necktle to search for his color, anc
if agreeable to the parties the courtsies o
the evening are to be extended to such ID
dy. The ladies only pay five cents admis
sion fee. The place where the festival
will be held, either at Ksller's Hall or til,
Court House, will be announced in ou
next issue.
