nesday evening, the Rev. F. Fl. Moore

The ''Sock Social and Colonial Tea" by
the Mercy and Help department of the
Epwofth League, held at the residence of
Mrs. Annie G. Taylor Tuesday evening
was decided success. The financial le-
suits were most satisfactory, many send
ing their little silk socks with their con-
tributions. There were $50 socks distri-
buted by the ladies having the social in
charge and of that number 143 were
dropped in the basket at the door. The
amount realized will amount to about

The improvement recently made by
Mrs. George W. Peterson to her store
room on East Main street adds much to
the appearance of the store. The win

much credit upon Mr.. Monro, our local
sign painter. Mrs. Peterson is devoting
her entire time to the mercantile business
now, and if we are to Judge from her past
efforts along other lines of business the
East End store will be well patronized.

proved himself to be hustler in the
erection of the building, the work being
completed much earlier than was ex-
pected.
