The oyster supper held at the com.
modious house of Fred O. Letter, Sat-
urday evening, was a record breaker.
Ninety five persons were in attendance.
The weather was all right, the sleigh
ing good, the supper better and the
entertainment best. 1t was held in
the interest of the Sunday school in
Ohild's district, organized with Rev.
A, B. Todd of the Baptist church at
Stafford as chairman, beginning it's
career with the new year, with Miss
Olive Moulton, superintendent; Mrs
Clara Letter, assistant superintendent,
and Miss Bessie Moulton, secretary
and treasurer. The entertainment
was in the care of Miss Bessie Moul-
ton, who, in addition to her official
capacity, is also teacher of the dis
trict school, and proved her ability
to magnify the happy com bination.
The musical part of the program was
especially excellent, the children's
four-part singing being an interesting
feature. To sneeze and cough in per.
feet tune and time this grippy winter
is triumph of art that will be ap-
preciated by those who have livery
bad colds. - AS to the recitations,
every single one of them more than
deserved the hearty applause which
it received. Following the regular
program was a musical festival intro
duced by H. F. Cady of Stafford with
the solo, entitled "There's Hole in
the Bottom of the Sea- Mrs. H. f.
Cady offioiated as organist. As to
the supper, there was nothing more
to be desired. The large heart of the
caterer fitted about under cover of
numerous handsome gowns, with twice
as many delicate hands to do its bid
ding. Such cake The oysters were
orthodox and abundant. You didn't
have to go fishing to find one. The
home made candy of the Leonard
Waterman brand needed no other re-
commend than its name, and the
oranges were Bradway's best. Alto
gether this Baptist oyster supper, with
it's Congregational singing, it's genu'
inc Methodist enthusiasm and good
fellowship, was responsible for Uni
versal good time. After paying for
all materials $40. 30 was added to the
treasury for the purchase of singing
books, with few choice double yolk-
ed nest eggs left in the incubator, to-
wards the Matching of bargain in
