success and has decreased the debt

Whleh ten meBbers went on a bond
ior' three or four years ago. Since then
tney have, by various means. decreased
the debt to 800. A few weeks ago
the Ollie Torbett Concert Company
gave performance for their benefit.
Dut this entertainment, financially
speaking, proved an absolute failure
and the association sunk $50. This in
creased the debt again to $780, Hence
the fair and festival" was given to
help pay this hanging debt, and it
proved to be quite satisfactory lift.
Their Indebtedness has now been re-

to wipe out before the winter 10 over.
