The social at the new Congregational
church Tuesday eve was we'll attended,
and the plan of renting the pews was
attended with very satisfactory results.
Over $1,000 was realized in this way
last night, and q number OF seats still
remain to be taken, which will largely
increase that SUN. After the sale of the
seats, the ladies Of the congregation
served an excellent luncheon in the
lecture room, consisting of sand.
witches, doughnuts and coffee, and still
later Mrs. ]. J. Barker and Mrs. G. w
Newman favored the gathering with a
number of fine performances on the pi.
ano which were greatly appreciated
There seems to be but little doubt that
the rental Of the pews will prove equal
to meeting the current expenses of the
church, and our Congregational
friends have every reason to be satisfied
over their past achievements and future
expectations.
