ments-an achievement that towns
much larger would be proud to have
attained.

three maids of honor, as the queen

to receive an invitation. A guessing
contest was among the many pleas
ures of the evening. A small glass
basket of beans was passed around
among the guests and all asked to
guess the number contained therein.

contain 265 beans, and the one guess

won by NJ. Harvey Hess, and the Sec
ond prize, beautiful handkerchief,
was awarded to Mr.. Henry Lowe. {
