CONSOLIDATED LUMBER Co.
The ladies of the Improvement
League report the sum Of $52.25 as
the net proceeds Of the Mems Ban
quet, held last week. The ladies
feel we'll repaid for their efforts, es-
pecially as by that means they were
enabled to hear the fine lecture on
"Industrial Education" given by
Prof. Harvey. They also wish to
thank the gentlemen who assisted
them in many ways-the merchants
who generously donated many
things, notwithstanding the fact that
their wives were baking pies and
cakes for the same banquet; the
butchers who threw off their profits
on the meat because cit was in a
good cause;" the bakers in whose
ovens the meat was roasted to turn,
and to Mrs. Scott who donated bios
somlng plants for table decorations.
1t was certainly gratifying to the
committee who had charge of the
banquet to be told as they were by
one merchant: 81 would give ten
dollars, if necessary, for the Improve
ment League is doing SO much for
the town."
