THE FANCY BAZAAR LAST WEEK.

THE FANCY BAZAAR LAST WEEK.
The Ladies, as Usual, Made Great Success Of
the Affair-About $500 Realized for the
New Methodist Church.
The fancy bazaar given by the ladies of
the Home Mission Society closed last Fi-
day evening with good old-fashioned
hot supper. There were turkeys, hams,
chickens, and salads galore-to say MOTH
ing of the homemade pickle, sandwiches,
breads, purloes, hot coffee, and oysters:
Sweets were served from the candy booth
of course, and every plate and saucer was
served with the proverbialI Methodist
measure. A goodly sum was realized
from the hot-supper alone.
For three days-Wednesday, Thursday,
and Friday-the bazaar was run with the
ease and grace common only to earnest
church workers There was nothing to-
mar pleasure or business and with the
exception of the first morning, which vas
rainy, Providence seemed to smile, the
rest of the time the weather being clear
crisp and on the "made to order" styfe.s
Which fact acted as guarantee Tor
good crowds. There were visitors from t0s
in the mornings until ten in the evenings,
and from the quantity of bills and silver
in evidence one was convinced imnedlss
ately that the price of cotton was all rights
The ladies of town held this centre f0vf
Christmas shopping; the children, q place
for good time, some toys'and where toS
satisfy the sweet-tooth; and the men, "a
haven where to replenish the inner-mAn
for oysters were served at all hours.
The seven booths were made attractiv6
in draperies, with traceries Of bamhoo
and the articles placed in this to show tg:
the best advantage. Those in charge 0f6
the booths were: Fancy work, Misse1s
Bellinger and Hooton; baby booth, Missea

and Mayme Gee Jennings; collars xnd9

curious little minds by helping to untfd
their packages, were Misses Kinsey, Juli&'
Armstrong and Kate Pooser.

The baby show on Friday afterHoo1;
proved quite an attractive feature. Ehel
wee ones of course had on their best bf69
and fuckers, and acted their sweetest snd
looked their best, and the sight alone Wa6
worth dollar. The contest FOR the preet
est babe lasted an hour, and after the yot69
were counted little Miss Mary Wiiifiau5
was declared the most beautiful beaut8a
and went home happy with her big doll
baby, the trophy of the race.
And now for the most interesting 0
all events or facts, the net proceeds e
are sorry that the exact figures cannot b6
given now, but we feel that we can safel3
say they will reach $500. There are NON
I S282.W in the bank, and several accorAt4
still due US which in all probability VIII
run the fgures;to $500 or thereab0ut
Which amount goes to the Furnishings s0f
the new church, which cause now Is very
near to the hearts of Bamberg Method dists
