THE BEST EVER.
The Grand Church Fair and Fancy
Bazaar Given under the Auspices
Of the ladies' Aid Society q
Zig Success.

It was "the best ever" This Is
the verdict rendered by the large
number Of people who we're 10 at-
tendance at the church fair and
fancy bazaar given in the Opera
House in this village, Thursday even
ing, under the auspices Of the Ladies
Aid Society Of L'Anse N. E. church.
Despite the inclement weather
which prevailed throughout the day,
people from all the surrounding
towns began to arrive in L'Anse at
an early hour, and by six O'Clock.
when the ladies began serving sup.
per, the building was taxed to its
capacity with visitors and home
people.
From six until after ten o'clock q
bountiful supper was served, and it
is useless to say that the patronage
which was given this part Of the
fair far exceeded all expectations
In speaking Of the decorations and
general arrangement OF the booths,
those who had the matter in charge
are certainly deserving OF great
credit. The colors chosen for deco.
ration were green and white, and
the manner in which they were used
showed excellent taste 10 every in
stance.
THE ATTRACTIONS.
The attractions which were offered
to the public at this fair were many
and varied, and in most instances
we're entirely new and novel.
Upon entering the room. at the
left was the home. made candy booth.
Here was to be found some of the
choicest sweetmeats which dainty
hands could prepare.
Next in line came the souvenir
booth. This spot received it's share
of patronage and was well deserving.
On sale were many splendid photo
graphs Of familiar localities in and
about Baraga county. The demand
far exceeded the supply at this
place.
Flowers have long ago become an
important part Of church fairs, aud
o booth supplied with these beauti-
ful specimens OF Gods handiwork,
coupled with a beavy OF charming
young ladies to display them, even
the most peneurious could not help
digging up the price Of at least one
carnation.
On the opposite side Of the room
was located one OF the most extern
sively patronixed booths in the build
ing, namely, the art and fancy work
booth. Here were to be found in
Vulnerable articles OF value In needle
work and hand paintings, and the
income from this stand is more than
gratifying.
Next in line was the apron booth.
Aprons OF all descriptions 'predomi-
mated at this stand. and like the
fancy booth received a splendid pat
ronage, for which the management
is indeed grateful.
Perhaps the most interesting spot
on the main floor, especially from a
juvenile standpoint, was the "Won-
der Well. This unique booth was
designed to represent a log hut, in
side of which was to be found well
OF the ancient bucket design, and
the abundance of nick-nacks which
we're hoisted from its depths would
put the largest Chicago mail order
house to shame, and it Is needless to
say that the little folks will long re-
member the Wonder WE'LL"
The china tea booth and the ice
cream pavilion did land.office bus
iness, and the dainty souvenirs
which accompanied each purchase
we're eagerly sought and highly ap-
preciated.
At an hour when the fair was at
its height, and the many eager sight
seers we're anxious for the next at
traction, the highly advertised and
much-talked-of Edep Musee vas
opened for business. This attraction
occupied the stage. and after the
usual ballahoo, which characterizes
shows, of this nature, and the speiler
had barked for several minutes on
the wonders contained within, this
attraction Was set 10 motion. Here
we're freaks Of nature which would
