gins It's, Weeks Career
Auspiciously.

Mayor Hoos added one more fair to his
visiting list last evening when he accept
ed the invitation issued by the Rev.
Charles Rabbow of Christ Lutheran
Church of Lafayette, to open the annual
fair in Lafayette Hail. on Wilton street.
His Honor has acquired an unsolicited
option on the duty of declaring fairs and
bazaars ready for business. Last even
ing he was warmly welcomed by the
members of the congregation.
The Rev. Mr.. Rabbow introduced the
Mayor with a short address, The Mayor
responded.
Again have the pleasure of attending
your fair" he said. MAY this one also
terminate as others have-successfuiiy.
Church work is greatly beneficial to the
community and to carry on this work
there must be funds. I regret to say that
| there is a scarcity of young men about
tonight. Is it because they are afraid of
being marks? Girls, it is your duty to
bring them.
II trust that success will attend your
efforts, as in former years, to enable you
to carry out the plans successfully
launched. You have church, congre-
cation and a pastor to be proud Of"
Commissioner Hauck reviewed the or
ganizatfon of the German Church in La
fayette, and told of its strides to success.
He wished them every possible success
in their enterprise, and he and the Mayor
promptly proceeded to pay out cash to
a bevy of pretty girls that buttonholed
them. Chances on everything in sight
they took, until both the Mayor and Com
missioner Hauck had signed their names
to every church book in the fair.
Commissioner Hauck won a rubber
plant and some tides on wheel of for
tune. and Mayor Hoos captured big
cake, which he forgot to take home with
him.
