Basket Social at Kings Valley.

The basket soeial at Kings
Valley was grand success,
financially as well as socially.
At a very early hour the congre-
CATION had assembled and the
pastor led the meeting which
was opened by a few selections
from the hymnal, and by prayer.
w. L. Price then took charge
of affairs to act as auctioneer.
The bidding was rapid and in
teresting. The first sale was
closed at eighty cents, and was
the beginning of a continuous
series OF surprises, which de-
velopea at the third sale, into
something very exciting, when a
representation of a guitar beauti-
fully decorated was sold for
$3.25. Sales followed rapidly
at good prices, with various
shapes and sizes. Some being
of the shape of heart, squares,
diamond, stars and many others,
all handsomely decorated. The
highest figure reached was 81. 10
which was bid on the basket OF
Mrs. John Price. The buyer
was the Haskins school teacher.
The average of all sales was
$r.65, and total amount was
5000. This was a very much
greater return than was expected
and all who furnished baskets
were highly pleased.
A more soeiable gathering
would be hard to fnd. There
was ''Peace ca earth, good will

ships to Sicily; and the Carthaginians
equipped four hundred against him.
Never was battle fought on the sea
with such forces. Catulus embarked on
his ship in condition of bodily weak

the skill and valor so characteristic of

Carthaginians were captured and one

an enormous quantity Of gold, silver and
other booty was brought into the posses

Roman fleet twelve ships were sunk.
This battle was fought on the 10th of
March. The Carthaginians at once sued
for peace, and peace was granted to them.
The Roman captives who were being
held by the Carthaginians were returned.
The Carthaginians also begged that
those captives from Africa, whom the
Romans were holding, should be allowed
to be redeemed. The senate ordered
that those who were in public custody
should be given without price, but that
those who were held by private individ-
uals might return to Carthage on the re-
turu to their masters of their price, and
that this price should be paid out of the
treasury rather than by the Carthagin-
