EDrroR Srfkrr Weshayo had eur fFsi
church festival in this place. 1t took
place on New Years eve and to make
things plain l purpose to note very brief
ly the proceedings. At six o'clock as
the crowd ssembled in the church, beau
tifully decorated by the deft fingers OF
the ladies and gentlemen of Pleasant
Valley, they were entertained by music
from the choir, Miss Jennie Reed at the
organ. At the proper hour the services
we're opened with music and prayer by
Rev. Fast, followed by music and SAL
utatory address by Rev. Fast, music and
an address by Rev. VIM. Danford and
Prof. G. W. Hamilton and T. j. Har-
per Taggart, the whole performances
being interspersed with music by the
choir. When it was announced that
supper was ready the congregation re-
paired to the school house where boun-
tiful supper Of oysters, cake, peaches
and cream had been prepared. All hay
ing been served they returned to the
church where some fine music was given
by Miss Ullman and others followed by

to their several homes feeling that it had
been good to be there, save few chronic
sorehedds. ta2
