M. E. Church Bazaar.

The Bazaar which was held in the
town Hall last week under the aus.
pices of the M. E. Church, was a
moderately successful venture, the
gross receipts being $40. The
Tables were handsomely furnished,
the childrens' stand and "Christmas
tree" being the ornamental piece of
the room, and the delight of the lit
tie folks. Mrs. Jewell had charge of
this department, and the receipts
amounted to SIG. The fancy goods
table was filled with articles more
ornamental than useful and presided
over by Miss Staley, Miss Wilson,
Miss Mcclure and other sprites.
The combination of fancy articles
and pretty girls drew hard on the
young men who fingered long in
making change to pay for the airy
nothings which they purchased at
bargain. The receipts were sll.
Mrs. kimbell had charge of the
married ladies' ta"le which was we'll

goods-largely useiul-and the pro-
ceeds of this table.footed up sl4.3O.
The Fancy Hardware stand was
managed by a committee of the
sterner sex, and came out at the lit
tie end of the horn, which might
reasonably be expected, not realizing
cost. .~
The cake table was well stocked
with delicious cakes, and was under
the care prime pally of Mrs. Emma
Haines and Mrs Ryan.
Miss Sally Barnes and Mrs. Camp
bell gave their time and efforts to
the fruit table which had tempting

nuts, rasins, etc. This booth did a
thriving business.
The peanut and "ice cold lemon
ade' counter was attended by a
portly gentleman whose name we
could not learn. This quarter had a
good trade and took in many nickles.
