Friday WAS the first really pleasant

good crowd got out 10 the Baptist circle.
The second table was well filed At sup
per. The entertainment WAS q short
three-sct comedy drama, The Lippin-
colt Square Church Coup" The piece
portrays the attempt OF the ladies mis-
sionsry society connected with the
wealthy Lippincott Square Church OF
New York, 20 save some OF the small
fund In their treasury for other fields,
by themselves making an outfit OF cloth
ing for the missionary In Manitoba.
The outfit l. duly made, and the intro
duction OF II upon the scene Is the fun
NEST situation OF the comedy, which as
whole teaches a good lesson.
The committee In charge OF obtaining
the deed Of the old Jail announce that
they have completed the work and
| forwarded the deed 20 DR.. A. c. Hamlin
OF Bangor, who has so kindly offered TO
transform the building into handsome
Memorial Hall 10 contain Oxford gems
and minerals and public library and
present Il, when completed, 10 the wo-
men Of Paris Hill. The deed contains
the signatures Of nearly fifty grsntors,
Including all the Cummings heirs except
three men, whose interest IL very small
and one of whom has expressed wilh
ingness 20 sign but cannot now be
located. The deed has been about all
over the United States 70 tiud It's slgners
and the work Of the committee has been
necessarily long and tedious undertsk-
ing, but having been brought to sue
cessful issue they desire 70 extend their
thanks not only 10 the signers but TO al

about this most desirable result. Certain
" every one who Is interested In the
beautiful and historic village OF Paris
Hill feels TO appreciate both the gener'
osity OF DR.. Hsmlin and OF the Cum
mings heirs, who have made DR.. Ham
Inns project possible, and will take great
| pride In n Memorial Hall which shall
commemorate the generosity OF both.
