Congregational Sale and Fair.

Congregational Society under the
auspices of the Working League
opened at 2 O'Clock, Tuesday after
noon. The ladies of the League have
been working hard for the past six
months and as usual their efforts were
crowned with success.
The sale Tuesday and yesterday
afternoon and evening was held in
the parlors and the attendance was
large throughout. All of the tables
were literally patronized and every
thing moved smoothly. This was
due largely to the efforts of the gen.
eral committee of arrangements
which was composed of Mrs. W. A.
Bailey, Mrs F. A. Benner and Mrs
Frank Morrill,. All the tables and
booths were we'll arranged and pre-
sented very attractive appearance
They were presided over by courte
Gus attendants and the wants of the
many customers were promptly wait
ed upon. A complete list of the
tables with the chairman of each
committee follow:

The audience, which crowded the
vestry and parlors to the limit of
their capacity, were richly reward ed
for their attendance. Every number
on the program was highly interest
ing, the entertainers being enthusiasts
tically applauded and encores de-
manded in most instances. Many
children were among the listeners
and, through good fortune or excellent
| Judgment in the choice of the enter
tainment offered, the songs, recita-
tions etc, were such as to greatly
interest them rs well as their elders
This was especially true of Mr.. Simp-
sons recitation, "The Little Half
Worn Shoe", and of the comedy, in
which toe humorous situations were
such as to be appreciated by young
and old alike. The young amateurs
who produced the comedy must have
benefited greatly by the dramatic
training under such competent in
structor as Mrs. Oak, and it was
evident that they enjoyed the por-
trayal of their several parts nearly OF
quite as much as those who listened
to them.
The fair was among the most sue
cessful ever held by the Working
League, the net proceeds being about
two hundred and fifty dollars.
