Pownal, Nov 25-We would correct a
small error which occurred in the items
of last week regarding the date Of the
fair to be given by the Ladies' Aid So
cisty of this town. The date on which 1t
will occur should the weather be favor
able, will be Wednesday, December 18th.
In case of @ storm on that day, the next
day set will be Friday, December 18th,
continuing to the 18th if necessary. Every
hing now promi ses for a most enjoyable
evont. The greatest harmony prevails
among the workers and the various
schemes and devices for gain on this 90.
casion will stand the severest test of just
criticism of any who desire to have their
minds satisfied on this point SO none
need feel it necessary to withhold help or
patronage on this account. Much inter
est in our effort seems to be felt by our
friends in adjoining towns. Fully appre-
ciated by this noble band of workers Is
this kindly courtesy and we can not help
feeling tn at the most f1attering results
will be the recompense. Next week a
programme in full will be given of the
different features and also of the even
ing's entertainment which Is in charge of
Miss Josephine H. Hodsdon, q name
which will insure much pleasant antici-
pations to all.
travelling there was a large audience
persent at the Congregational church here
on Sunday to listen to the Thanksgiving
sermon by the Rev. Ira Jones. The text
chosen was from Malacha 3-12 'sAnd
all nations shall call you blessed for We
shall be a delightsome land saith the Lord
of hosts" All who have from time to
time attended the meetings during the
past few months know the great
ability of the pastor and this was one of
his best efforts. His remarks served to
bring before his hearers thoughts of
how much they had to be thankful for,
putting it in such kindly way that
none could help feeling that some pleas
ant events come into all lives It is a
peculiar and pleasant feature in all of Mr..
Jones' sermons that he appeals to the
humane part of human nature not the
aggressive or antagonistic. The music by
the choir was also very expressive and
rendered in a most pleasing manner.
