The people in the vicinity of the
Ladbury school house celebrated their
Thanksgiving In grand style. A pro-
gram, consisting of recitations, dia-
logues, vocal and instrumental music,
prepared under the direction of the
teacher, Miss Laura L. Longfellow,
was rendered in the evening before q
crowded and appreciative audience.
Although the time spentin preparation
was limited, each one acquitted himself
creditably. Following the program,
boxes and baskets containing supper
for two, and the names of the ladies
preparing them, were sold to the high-
est bidder by Edwin Ladbury. The
proceeds were to finish paying for the
sheds. recently built. There was q
spirited contest for the boxes, the total
amount realized exceeding $50. w.
A. Baker led the bidders, paying $3.50 :
for one box. The sheds put up are
l2x4S, the frame rests on stills. covered
