achs fortune, and among other things
said he was born under Venus" 1t
is very certain she didn't miss it far,
for when | congratulated Mr.. Str0nach
upon the matchless success of the Bal

The Confederate Bazaar is the biggest
success ever seen in Raleigh, and While
the ladies have made it great they all
give to Mr. Stronach the credit due
him for conceiving the Bazaar and feel
proud that as his right arms and left
arms they have shared with him the
glory of an occasion that has been Il
red-letter one in the history of Raj
eigh.
In the language of the lady chairman
of the committee of arrangements. ''tIc
Confederate Bazaar has been howl
ing success"
1t has been a great success in every in
spect, both financially and socially, and
the promoters and managers certainly
have Just cause for feeling proud Of
their efforts.
Every night the large hall has been
packed with those who came not merely
to see Il { beauties OF the hall. but to
buy the goods and souvenirs on sale
Last night was no exception to the pre-
yious nights and the hall was literally
packed with people. The booths which
on the first night were PACKED with
goods of every conceivable description
were beginning to present a depleted
appearance, attesting the liberality of
those who have attended the bazaar.

given to the children and there We're n
large number of the little folks on hand
who enjoyed themselves immensely.

sacks of meal, three barrels of Hour. Il
J0-pound ham, 15-nound shoulder and
six pounds of coffee. 1t was mos
thoughtful and commendable.
The ladies return their sincere thanks
to Manager Rivers for the use Of the
hall. But for his generous proffer of
the hall it would have been impossible
to have made the Bazaar the success
il has been. He has kindly rendered
it to the ladies at any future time free
of charge. They greatly appreciate his
kindness.
Madam Elrado, the palmist. was
quite an attraction at the hall last
night. Her skillful work netted the
Bazaar quite a snug amount.
The proceeds from the sales of the
goods and souvenirs of the Bazaar will
reach about $1,000 The managers are
lavish in their praise of those who have
so kindly made donations.
