A medicine company held the
boards for week and gave a very
of the features of the entertainment
was the voting for the handsomest
baby in town, and also for the most
popular young lady. The baby con-
test was waged first and became quite
spirited, and from the infantile array
the judges selected Mr.. Carpenter
baby and pronounced it the win
ner of the pretty diamond ring. In
the second contest the lady's watch
was given to Mrs. j. P. Smith. 1t
was thought by some that the prize
should have been awarded to Miss
Florence Dean, who is very popular
and received a larger number of votes,
so conceded by some. However, "all
is we'll that ends WE'LL" and if Miss
Dean was not the happiest lady in
the crowd she certainly was the most
surprised when a host of her friends
invaded her home and showed their
appreciation by the gift of beautiful
watch, Representative F. w. Willard
making the presentation speech in a
very pleasing manner. Following this
happy event was a bountiful supper
served by the friends. G. o. S.
