greeational church on Friday morning,
Dec 18th. The call is for money, coal
order, fowls, meat, vegetables, pastry
provisions of all kinds-cast off clothing,
bedding or anything you think would be
acceptable to the poor. The children are
asked to bring candy and nuts and to
look over their toys and books and see if
they have not something they can spare
for the little ones who have nothing.
Both last Christmas and this past Thanks
giving We have known of families who
received dinners from two different part
les, so in order to avoid unnecessary Civ
ing the ladies urgently request that all
who intend to provide a Christmas dinner
for the poor will send the names of the
family they intend to assist, either 10
Mrs. A. T. Rabbit or Mrs. p. f. Powell

on either side.
Then followed contests between several
of our young aspiring pugilists. until a
set.to between Jack Dempsey and Jack
Keenan, was announced. The contest was
three rounds, and as both are fine spar
rers the contest was very interesting. Al

waiting for another one
Next followed two more contests be-
tween local pugilists, when the chief event
