FAIR and Festival.

Again success crowned the efforts put
forth by the Ladies Sewing Society in
holding their annual fair and festival
last evening, although he inclemeney
of the weather prevented larger at
tendance from our neighboring towns.
The two long dining tables were kept
well filed from $3.50 to 10 o'clock and
the attendants provided one with a
feast for kings, yet the savage company
of young men.from the Lloyd House,
who had a;siainea from eating during
the week, played havoc with the pro-
vender when they ass mbled round enc
of the tables at q DEL eek sharp.
The fancy table was another scene Of
activity. This many pretty articles and
the host of aprons wer selling READILY
aud buyers had to speak quick. The
crazy q ut won much admiration and
was sold cheap.
Miss Smith d sposed of her pretty
fresh flowers carly in tho evening while
the Mise, Lloyd and Thomas han led
in their receipts of candy sold, Little
later to tho treasurer.
The sta go was another scene of activ-
ity and gaity and Mrs. Thomas was
her usual good humor, serving tho ice
cream and cake, the proceeds of which
help swell the general fund to $3.50 not
forgetting the lemonade stand. which
had it, large profit.
A real good time was had and the
net proc eds will place the, M. T..
churoliin eood financial con.Etion.
