presented to the church by Highland Station lady,
and voted to the protest girl at ten cents vote,
brought fifteen dollars. Also a Highland Station
girl would have got the cake if there had not been
a mistake in writing names. A quilt drawn for at
Twenty-Five cents o ticket, brought thirty dollars.
We are informed by the committee that the profits
amounted to one hundred and fifty dollars, which
will be great help towards finishing the church.
Severance, Highland, Iowa Point, and Highland
Station, were well represented at the dance. The
best order was maintained during the whole affair
