The Press., 1889-12-19

successful sale of fancy and useful articles last Tuesday evening, upon which they had been at work ever since the close of the sale of 1888. There were useful ar tides which were pretty, aside from those whose sole merit was beauty. The several young ladies whose skill with the brush is well recognized had specimens of work which sold readily. The rooms filled quickly when the doors were opened, and the sale was brisk all through the evening. These annual sales are looked forward to with pleasure by patrons, as well as by contributors. The cook book got up by the ladies sold off s'like hot cakes. The book contains over 100 recipes contributed by various housewives, all tested and ap- proved. and certified with name of contrib utor. A large edition was printed, and will be mailed to any applicant by the sec. retary, Mrs. B. O. Dennis, on receipt of price, 10 cents. They can be found on sale at Burr's dry goods store. There will be Christmas trees and suitable exercises at the different Sunday school rooms in town, and parents cannot be too careful not to have the little folks forget about it.
