WHEATON,.

The ladies OF Emanuel M. e. church.
South. held bazaar in the hotel build
ing on Monday evening last which
proved success both as a sociaffeature
and a financial venture. The articles
offered for sale were such as would
have done credit to q much more
elaborate affair and exhibited in a pleas
ing manner the handiwork of our ladies.
The old Witch, who revealed the future
to interested and expectant patrons, did
her work in very creditable manner,
amid the laughter of light hearted
children, merry young ladies' with their
beaux, and pessimistic old age. The
thirsty found comfort at the Mystic
Spring and the hungry RECALLED them
selves with ice cream and cake after
the hunt-for-your-girl mode. Music
was furnished by the Morattico Brass
Band, local organization of tender age
but tremendous ambition and energy.
The evening passed very pleasantly
indeed, and demonstrated in a practical
manner to those of an analytical turn
that concerted action and a oneness of
purpose will accomplish wonders, and
what is more, that our village ladies
'mean business" when they start out
along this line of church work.
Among the sick of our village are,
Mrs. F. w. Lewis. Mrs. E. L. Thomas
and Mrs L. v. Furniss.
