Mofett's Greek, Nov.7.-The Third An
nual Chrysanthemum festival was held
at New Providence church on Thurs
day and Friday last. Despite the unfa-
vorable condition of the weather, good
crowds were present both days. The
display of flowers and decorations were
complete and beautiful in every par
ticular, surprising all previous dis.
plays. Much credit is due the ladies Of
the congregation for their untiring
labors in behalf of this very credit
able entertainment.
The greatest interest was shown in
the contest for the finest baby under
one Year OF age, which premium was
given to Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Sup
niger. Under two years of age to Mr..
and Mrs. Rufus s. Patterson.
Six different couples entered the con-
test for the cake in the cake walk
which was very novel and amusing
performance. After a close contest
the cake was awarded to Messrs. Roy
Mitchell and John w. McFadden.
Many other premiums were given
some of which were very nice and ap-
'propriate, but as limited space will not
