Local Correspondence.
A really amusing episode Of the past
week WAS that one precipitated by quin-
tette of wile-awake lady church worh ers,
acting in The capacity Of "a committee TO
solicit contributions for the HolloWe en-
Supper to be served at the hospitable
home of Mr. G. W. Stocksdalc. In their
rounds the committee called at The home
of Mr.. Jacob Freeze, and after few in
troductory remarks unearthCd the miG-
sion that prompted their presence. At
the tine Mr Freeze WAS 1T work borirg
fence posts, after parleying for while
made this proposition: IF either one Of
you ladies will bore hole through this
post Without stopping to rest III give
you quarter toward the supper. Forth

by one of the ladies' laying hold Of the
crank and triumphantly driving that
augcr through locust post. in thickness
between i've and six inches as quickly
as could Mr.. Freeze have done it. Ard

quarter and with becoming magnanimity
forked the same over to the committee;

ioicing in their strength, valor and the
good fortune it brought them.

diligence and intrcpidity Of the fair sex
of our Village again been conclusively

hands of the lady who turned that crank.
