Upon Saturday the Aid Society
met with Mrs. Emma Sutton and Miss
Josephine. There was large attend
ance. Forty-four seated themselves al
the tables and partook of the refresh
mehts prepared. Every one seemed tc
enjoy the afternoon immensely. We
were pleased to greet our old friend
uncle Ruel Gibson, among the number
present, his generous hand again founo
its way to his pocket book and another
liberal sum went into the treasury, do
mated by him. These gifts are much
appreciated both by the church and
the society, and we hope the God tha
doeth all things well will raise us W
more friends with the same benevolent
spirit as Mr.. Gibson. The church i!
small, yet it is slowly but surely gain
ing in number and, strength, and every
contribution received, whether for the
maintenance approaching or the needed
repairs, gladdens our hearts and in
spires us with fresh courage. The So
ciety is large and prosperous. One
year ago we used up all the funds on
hand to purchase a carpet. We then
commenced work for some windows; to.
day we have in the treasury over one
hundred dollars for this purpose. We
have put our hand to the plough and
know no turning back until the object
is accomplished, come to our meetings
and thus show your appreciation of our
work.
1t is relief to be able to step out of
doors and not encounter so many of
those loathsome worms. They are
fast disappearing; doing themselves up
in little oval woody balls, from which
will issue moth or miller that will de.
posite eggs for next years crop. In
some localities the apple and cherry
trees are stripped Of every leaf and the
branches as free from anything green
as during the winter season. The
ravages of this pest will ruin the apple
product in this vicinity. People have
burned, scalded, killed but the multi.
titude has been so great no noticeable
impression has been made upon them
