That fair given by the Ladies' Aid
Society was a success in every way
none can deny, The morning dawn
ed with lowering clouds and pros
poets of rain, but as the day advanc-
ed the sunlight burst forth and the
evening was all that could be desired,
Uuion Hall never looked better. The
long table upon one side was taste
fully arranged, large hyderangea
occupying the center, while upon
either side was house plantsin bloom.
The booths draped with some thin
gauzy material, caught up here and
there with ferns, from which the ar
ticles for sale were displayed were
located upon the other side; flower
ing plants were scattered among the
profusion of beautiful things upon
the tables. Handsome lamps threw
colored light over all, and added
much to the general appearance. The
Stage was draped with the national
colors, and decorated with Towering
shrubs. At an early hour people he
gan to assemble and the floor and
gallery were soon filled. Mr.. Will
liams opened the entertainment fol
the evening with recitation entitled
Epluribus Unum" which was well
rendered. The dirtrict school was
next in order which carried us back
in memory to the days when we veX-
ed and tormented our teachers with
innumerabe questions and mischevi-
Gus pranks, the play being exceed
ngly we'll done. AS no admission
was charged no great dramatic effort
could be expected. After this sup
per was served and the sale of fancy
and domestic articles commenced
which occupied the remainder of the
time. During the evening the socie'
ty presented their president with s
handsome hand painted banner in to-
ken of their appreciation of her eff
forts in their behalf the past summer
Mrs. G, responded, saying, 81 an
very grateful to the society for this
expression of their good will ano
kindly feeling. | have only done my
duty as far as l could with my many
home cares expecting no reward
craving nothing but your friendship
and support. This act on your par

and that the work was done by {

cred memento of pleasant afternoons
associations and friendships of thu
past summer" Mrs. A. A. Curtis

be present, was remembered by

Mrs. David Stowell received the sill

To those we would tender the SINGER
thanks of the society. About So

and handsomest articles. We do no
hesitate to say that this fair was tn
best and largest ever held in this vi
