The Seven Social at Union Hall,
under the auspices of the Helping Hand
Society was a decided success. The

although free, was well worth a 20
cent admission fee. The johnson
Bros. assisted and as usual took down

and songs. Everything went by sevens

"The Seven Chestnuts" in which the
old maids were prominent. After the
entertainment ice-cream and cake was
served at seven cents plate, following

causing him to deny himself the pleas.

cash, thereby gain to the consumer
and step in the right direction, as it
is benefit to every one.
