/ Wednesday, Judge and Mrs Sydney
/ Fletcher of Holland visited in town last
week.-Mr. and Mrs. Hines of Newport
and Mr. and Mrs. Nehemiah Colby of West
/ Derby were in town to attend the social
/ Thursday evening.
The evening with the poets, which was
conducted under the auspices of the Ep-
! worth League, was a grand success. At
! the outset, over one hundred persons pledg-
/ ed themselves to earn a dollar and tell in
rhyme how it was done. A large red let
ter L, representing so, was placed on
black back ground in such a manner as to
admit the holding of just fifty silver dol
! lars, placed side by side. After music by
male quartet, one by one the donors went
forward and read or recited their poem and
/ put their dollar in place. The poems were
witty and showed that quite a talent for
rhyming exists among Derby people. After
the poems were read Rev. Mr.. Wright in
| PRODUCED Rev. Mr.. Starr of Stanstead, who
spoke for short time in very interesting
manner. All then repaired to the vestry,
where cake, doughnuts and coffee were
served. Much credit for the success of the
affair is due to Mrs. Holbrook, president
of the League. With the amount taken at
the door, over 500 was realized.
