The 'POund and Garment Party"
given at the home of Mrs. w. A.
FAIRIES last Friday evening was de-
cided success. The house was we'll
filled with guests and most pleasant
time enjoyed by all. The sudden ex-
tinctiOn of electric lights caused bv
the accident at the plant afforded much
amusement. During the eevening some
excellent vocal and instrumental music
was furnished by the local talent. This
included two solos. one by Miss Bessie
Counselman and the other by Mrs.
Marion COveTdale. instrumental music
was given by Mrs Frank Reynolds, Mrs.
W. o. HOffecker, Mrs. Marion Cover

ance gave a recitation. Others who
who took part in the program were
Mrs. Joseph Smithers, Mrs. Frank Pos

brought a pound of something and
each member of the society a garment,
all of which was given to the poor and
needy of this community. Refresh
ments were served during the evening.

The cOlored people were not without
their celebration. They like holiday
and it is very seldom that such days
pass that there is not something going
on for their pleasure and enjoyment.
Thanksgiving evening the Pioneer Bat
tie Axe Club with large following of
cOlOred folks marched to the station
with band of music and literally filled
two cars on their way to Dover, where
they were to participate in a "Cake
Walk" with the cOlOred residents of
that town. They had big time. They
were dressed in their finest and the
number of bellies and debutantes was
surprisingly wonderful. That the
young "spOrts" and "gallants" were
in demand is known by the fight among
the debutantes for the privilege of
walking the floor with them. The
fight was so bitter between two girls
over a popular man, that it was neces-
sary to eject them. An ebony-hued
belle of Dover took the honors of the
Cake Walk. The Smyrna contingent
did not get home until morning.

Thanksgiving day was pleasant, but
calm and cloudy-just the day for
rambling through fields and woods,
and the detonations of distant guns
could be heard most any minute
throughout the day. There must have
been a vast quantity of ammunition
wasted. A good quantity of game,
however, doubtless fell before this
host of amateur spOrtsmen, the state
ment being made that in the vicinity
of George Cooke, in the western
Deestrict, 100 rabbits were killed
The Easton Gdzcte in urging local
support, says: "There are many fam
lilies who do not subscribe for the pa

the same is issued primarily pro bono

Such philosophy will kill any newspa-
per. 1t is only the public spirited peo-
pie that are useful to a community.
Those who live entirely within their
own shells and absorb all they can get

have made the world better for having

Three Addresses, from Clergy. French Cana.
dams and English Speaking Catholics.

the leading Catholic church in Ottawa
was crowded, Sunday night, when re-
ception was given to the Papal delegate,
Mgr. Delval. Three addresses were pre-
scented to him. One was from the clergy
of the diocese, another from the French
Canadians of the city, and the third from
the English-speaking Catholics.
Mgr Delval replied in French and in
English. Speaking in English, he con-
graduated the Queen on her successful
reign and spoke of the coming Diamond
jubilee. Loyalty to the church meant
loyalty to the state. Both went hand in
hand. No reference was made by him
to the school troubles.
