Those of our patrons who enjoyed
the series of entertainments given last
year for the benefit Of the society, can
but remember them with pleasure, and
while VIZ congratulate them, and our
selves upon that enjoyment, we have
felt it wiser this year to concentrate all
our efforts in one direction. This VIZ
have done, and w hope to open to our
friends on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, December 10th, llth and
18th, the handsomrst fair over held in
our city. We have endeavored with as
little expense a. possible TO make IL
novel and attractive in the arrange
msnt Of several booths, each agreeing in
style with the articles offered for sale.
These booths will contain knit and
embroidered goods, aprons and house
hold articles, bric-a-brac, flowers, dolls
and toys. In addition to these there
will be country store with its varied
supply of dry goods, groceries, confec
tlonsry, &C., also genuine post -offic-
aud post mistress, . large tree will be-
filed with articles suitable for Christ,
mas decorations, aud "Kriss Kringls'
will be found daily at work. The gyp,
sy tent, with it's bows, arrows, baskets,
fortune nuts, &C., will be one of the
features of the Bazaar, and the ladies' i'll
attendance will appear in costume ,as i'll
deed will all engaged in the enterprise,

ni-nt table, and restaurant, places 90
near the hearts Of all Mrals will b-
served each evening from until ~
clock, and lunch will be provided
on Wednesday and Thursday from II

Tn. above will be Of special interes I
only to our older friends, but W.
hold the liltl- on-s so close to our
hearts that We hope 10 offer them \ real
treat by having Mother Goose with
her rhymes and reasons, appear Oh
Wednesday afternoon at 3 O'Clock.
The time honor-d old dame, will have
candy bags for sale for the small sum oN
3 cent?, so that the purchase Of ono may

The object Of our work is too vel
known We trust to repeat here, and
Will" we desire to thank all who have
encouraged US thus far, and do gladly
offer part payment fer what they shall
add on this occasion, yet beyond this
We beg they will remember in this
merry Christmas time that they are
giving their assistance to desolate
homes, and weary hears to whom the
glad festival is never known. Let US

THE OLD FOLKS
Hold their Regular Monthly Meeting,
and Listen TO Feeling Address
from their President

The Old Folks held their regular monthly
meeting yesterday, President s. II. Lamb
presiding, who delivered the following ad-
dress:
GENTLEMEN OF THE OLD Folks SOCIETY
1t is with sincere pleasure / greet you at this,
our first monthly meeting, after so long and
painful a sepaTation--a pleasure, however,
mingled with unfeigned sorrow and sadness.
When we last met we expected, with our
families, in few weeks, to join in the fes-
Gvities Of our annual reunion, which, | am
sure, all of US looked forward to with bright
anticipations of happiness and social enjoy
msnt. Alas, Row heart-Tendlng and sad the
change! Instead of joyful and happy hours,
the shadow Of death aad the gloom Of the
grave spread over our devoted city and the
dread plague relentlessly claimed for its VIC
TINS ten Of our number. Brothers J. q.
Lonsdale, ST., our faithful treasurer;
his son, W: J. B; Lonsdale, our jealous
secretary; Chas. Kortrecht, our chosen
orator; Chas. Erich, Vincent Blcigalupo. L.
W. Hoist, VIM. Miller, c. D Stelnkuhl, Jno.
P. Trezevant and Jas. G. Ward are numbered
with the dead. They will meet with US no
more on earth. We all deeply mourn their
loss and truly sympathize with their afflicted
and grief stricken families. The loss of COM
panions and friends, indeed fills the hearts OF
the young with sorrow and sadness; but to
those whose whitened locks and gathered
years indicate the shady side of life, it is far
more dreadful. The young soon find in other
friends solace and comfort, but those in adj
vanced life rarely make new friends. Time
can never restore the broken links that crush
the heart of the aged. No new ties can bind
them as did those that are severed; no other
friends can cheer them as did those that are
gone; but, thank God, they can look forward
to glad and joyous meeting beyond the dark
river. Let, then, the virtues and excelen-
cIes of the departed ever be embalmed in our
memories, and let those of US who, by the
mercy of God. are still spared, cling together
with more devoted friendship and warmer
affection, cheered by the hope that We may
ere long meet our departed brethren IN a
brighter and better land.
Two vacancies IN the offices of the associa-
ton, caused by the ravages of the epidemic,
were filed by tie election Of J. 2. Prescott
secretary, to Gil the vacancy caused by the
death Of w. J. B. Lonsd≤ and II. L.
Goodlett treasurer, in place OF j. G. Ions

Some other business was transacted, and
the association adjourned to meet next Tues
day, to hear reports Of the committee on de-
ceased members.
