spoken of the piece written in the interest
of those who cannot speak for themselves

ing has been sent to the postmaster here

We hope he preached to them the Sunday
after their advent to this town from the

Sprat and wife to the one serving sand
witches and cake, Simple Simon to the one

serving coffee and lemonade, Mistress
Mary's Maids to the one selling paper

girl presided over a unique and novel
camp where she told fortunes and settled
the fate of many. The decorations of
the booths were very elaborate, showing

make 1t a success. A large audience was
In attendance and the proceeds were about
