The "old folks supper in the Metho-
dist church Wednesday evening was well
attended and was successful in a large
measure, the cream of the whole being the
old folks concert which followed the sup
per. This concert was conducted by Ar

the program.

tory, faba-baga and tiddledy-winks. Light

nator, is a new game which has just been
patented and is being manufactured by the
Stowell manufacturing company. Rules
for playing the game have just been draft
ed by DR.. +. S. Munger and are now in the
hands of the publishers. 1t is very fas-
cinating game, somewhat resembling GRO
