A Bazaar Will Be Given in This City
Beginning Dsc. |. -
On the evening of Dec. 1. and contlnu-
ing until the end of the week, a bazaar
will be given at St. VINCENT de Paul hall
corner of Fourteenth street and1Avenae
F, which promises to be a fine affair.
Rev. Father Muerer. of Our Lady OF
Sorrows Catholic church. has decided
upon the bazaar as a means of raising
funds for the benefit of the parochial
school of that church, which was recent
ly instituted by the Sisters of Mercy.
These noble women have been in Bir-
mingham but a short time, but already
their good work has been felt.
They have visited and comforted many
who we're sick, and it was done in their
usual quiet, meek and unostentatious
manner These Sisters of Mercy are
quite an addition to the good work al
ready accomplished by Father Muerel
and it Is to be hoped the bazaar will be
literally patronized, as the cause is q
most worthy one.
