articles of many descriptions floating in the

On the evenings of Monday, Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday of next week the
ladies of the Catholic Church of this town
will mold strawberry and ice cream festi-
val on the grounds adjacent TO the church.
Since Father Carey became pastor of this
church the enterprise inspired by his activ-
ity and zeal has resulted in a number of
noticeable improvements which have been
noticed by us from time to time. The pro-
ject of increasing the capacity of the church
is the immediate object OF the present ftsti-
val, and while Either Carey may have
largely inspired it, the ladies have respond
ed with alacrity, and what they undertake
to do they generally succeed in doing. We
hope to see the festival prove great sue
cess.
The ingenuity of man has been long iii
rected towards the discovery of some mater
ial for architectural and monumental Uses,
which would be equal to granite or marble
in durability and he CT eaper in cost. Elk
perience has shown that the composition
known as white bronze meets the require

with a sand blast finish, in color it resem
b!es light granite, it will not stain, moss
will not adhere to it and it is practically i'll
destructable. A handsome monument OF
this material was erected few years ago to
the memory of the late DIR. Joseph Wallace
in the cemetery of the Presbyterian Church
of this town. It. is rs beautiful and clean
now as when erected. As will be seen by
his card elsewhere in this issue, Mr.. Joseph
Guest, of Cecilton Is the agent in this stall
for these monuments. When requested he
will exhibit at private residences model of
the material and show numerous designs for
monuments.
