The Busy Bee Circle, under the
the supervision of Miss Nellie Crit
fifth, deserves more than passing
praise for the success of their festi-
val last week. Over $75 was clear
ed from the entertainment, and not
one thing sold the two evenings was
given the society except the work
done by the children who compose
the circle. The expenses of the So
ciety was saba, and of the profits
$25 was given to the Fire Company,
and $3.50 placed in Bank to the
credit of the Society to be devoted to
charity next winter. The "Busy
Bee" quilt was won by Mrs. J. W.
Shenk. Last winter this Society in
quiet way was largely instrument
tai IN relieving many cases of desti-
tuition, and when the noble object
for which it is organized aud is
maintained, isknown its patronage will
continue to grow and be more appre
Grated than ever by the good people
of Berryville. The Society besides
raising funds for charity, gives much
Joy and pleasure to many children,
who get but little enjoyment from
the cruel hands of this world.
This, if nothing else, should appeal
to kind hearted people. The "Busy
Bees" will hold another bazarr this
summer, and we hope and trust the
people of this community will have
10 hesitancy IN continuing their
patronage to this circle of bright and
interesting children whose labors
deserve credit and encouragement.
