he put up ten cents and turned the tube

The Fair--Esy tssc Fair.

The Fair held under the auspices
of the Ladies' Aid Society Tuesday
and Wednesday nights, was most
pleasant social event, and as great q
success as its most sanguine we'll
wishcrs could have anticipated, after
taking into consideration the heavy
rains that poured continuously from
the clouds, and the almost complete
financial Generalization of our COM
munity. The nets receipts were
slO5.90. Too much praise cannot
he bestowed upon the ladies for their
heroic battle against adverse circum-
stances, and we congratulate them
upon their victory. The proceeds
will be used in making additions to
the Methodist parsonage, and we
hope this is but the beginning of the
good work we will have to chronicle
as the result Of the Ladies' Aid So
ciety. Want of space forbids an cx-
tended notice OF all the attractions,
but we cannot lprbcar to mention
the five handsome cakes, contributed
by the young ladies who were CON
testing for the premium; they were
all beautiful and excellent, and
would have done credit q Ear nlere

fair hands mixed them. After con-
siderable "tasting'' the judges award
