a revival of the rapid pace set by the
society people before the beginning Of

Versary of their wedding by MIR. and
Mrs. Fletcher Maddox at their beauti-
full home on the evening of the 31st

with the vim for which the people are
becoming noted, and when refreshments
announced, which by the way were
most delicious. II was discovered that
I Mrs. n. Il. Smith had secured the first
/ prize, beautiful book of Longfellows

the lucky gentleman and received

ing of those things which go TO make

Thursday and Friday were gala days
for the ladies and children of White
sulphur Springs, and TO Mrs. J. A.
Hedges and her Sunday school class OF
little misses is due the honor OF fur
nishing the attraction, which was the
Easter Bazaar" given for the benefit
OF the Presbyterian church. II was a
complete success i'm every way, and
showed plainly that the Springs has an
unlimited amount Of talent when II
comes to executing novelties and trim
kets that go to make our homes more
cheerful and attractive and about
which bachelors know little or moth
ing. All. or nearly all. Of the novelties
offered for sale were the handiwork OF
nine as apt little lassies as ever got to-
gether. and under the kind and encour-
aging guidance of Mrs. Hedges they
have accomplished that which would
do credit to those Of more experience
in this line. Eggs, all colors, old Bid
dy" acting the incubator part, and little
chicks Of every breed" were there. and
only lacked the hen language" to re-
mind one Of poultry show. The least,
and most that can be said U.s. the
Easter Bazaar was a success, brought
about by the united efforts OF Mrs
Hedges and her Sunday school class.
