BUSINESS MEN AT
 BANQUET BOARD
IN CANAAN'S HOTEL, THE CANFIELD

NCANAAN'S HOTEL, THE CANFIELD The Attendance was 125 and the Af-
 fair was a Success From Every
 Standpoint-Brief Speeches by the
 Diners.
 In Canaan's recently opened hotel, ssThe Canfield" an event, was held last evening that eclipsed anything of the sort therefore attempted in Canaan, an event that will long be replete with pleasant memories for the many who were present. It was the first ''Buslness Mems Banquet'' and from every stand point it was a pronounced success and far exceeded the most sangulne expect ations of the committee who had the function in charge. This committee con- sisted of H. B. Ives, H. l.. Ross, B. A. Peirce, l.. c. Rhoades, N. l.. Jackson, A. H. Herriman and W. H. Garfield.
 From it's inception, the idea of hold ing such a banquet struck a popular chord with Canaanites and the com mittee soon found it would be an i'm possibility to limit the tickets to 5O as was first intended, therefore the num- Der was increased to 75, then to 100 and finally was positively limited to 125 for the reason that this number taxed the capacity of the dining room to It's ut most. There is positive assurance that 200 tickets could have been disposed of if that number of people could have been accommodated.
 It was a thoroughly representative and democratic gathering, those who congregated around the festal board be- ing men from nearly every walk of life. Good nature and good fellowship reigned supreme and the radiant countenaces which were everywhere in evidence con- stituted conclusive proof that every par ticipant was enjoying himself to the ut most. It was one of those gatherings which serves to cement friendships, to form new bonds of fellowship and to bring the residents of the community into closer contact for the common good.
 And the excellence of that repast played very important part in the success of the function. Messrs. Baker & Beverly, proprietors of the hotel are to be congratulated on the manner in which their guests were fed, The menu was appetizing, carefully prepared and we'll served.
