The rummage sale which was opened

cry, has proved a success. The goods
were sold from the store rooms about
as fast as taken IN, and when the store
closed Monday evening there was very
little to- open the sale with yesterday
afternoon This was partly caused by
the rush which they had Saturday even

are anxious for contributions to be sent
at once, especially mems underwear and
