The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1908-10-16
v. /. s. AFFAIRS.

The downpour of rain last Wednes-
day night dampened the hard times
social, considerably. The attendance
was not large, but the general good
will that prevailed was very encour-
aging to the ladies who launched the
enterprise. As each visitor was shown
through the neat, tidy, fresh looking
rooms their ordinations Of surprise
and satisfaction were bountiful; il
anyone came with feelings of doubt
they went away with them entirely
removed. Several donations of use-
full articles were brought, and others
will be sent in right along. Mrs.
Younie, the good wife of our mayor,
managed the sale of good wooden
comfort so nicely that $10.50 was re-
allied for the society. Along about
dusk Mr.. Peck came over from the
Brown-Eldredge Furniture Co. with
half dozen new window shades. OF
course we asked questions but all he
would say was why, Mrs. Eldredge
told US that Mrs. Carruth was wor-
ried for fear the window shades in
the front of the house would be do
mated peacemeal, and each be differ
ent color, and of course the furni-
ture company did not want Mrs Car
ruth troubled about little thing like
that"
There are loans and donations now Z,
in the house that are very much ap-
preciated but we cannot give list at |
present. What is needed however, is
more chairs, about forty low-back |
chairs for the dining room, rug or
carpet for the rest room, some more
tables, a heating stove for the rest
room (Mr. Bert Ryan loaned one for
the dining room), a mirror, wash
bowl and pitcher, and few towels
for the rest room. A good six-hole
range with reservoir will be sent in
by Mr.. and Mrs. VIII Younie as soon
as their new home is completed, and
Mrs. WOodin furnishes one for pres
ent use. More kitchen furniture is
needed in the way of cooking vessels
and cupboard. They could also use
a screen to good advantage in the
rest room. Please bear these neces-
sary wants in mind and help the la
dies to what you can conveniently.
A matron has been secured and
will soon be installed, but we will
tell you about that next week
The next important move is the
rummage sale today and tomorrow
The clothing and other articles of
fered for sale are useful ones, in
good condition and at very low
price. The money realized will be
applied to the general cemetery fund
and used for that purpose. A lunch
will be served both days, Friday and
with good hot coffee. The
rooms are comfortable and warm, and
customers will be furnished a seat.
The rest room will be open for in
spection, but not as cozy and COM
Portable as they hope to make lit. The
plans made for use of this room are
most excellent, but not quite ready
for publication. We hope to give
them to you next week however.
The Methodist Aid will serve
good hot dinner in the dining hall
election day. The Baptist will hold !,
4 bazaar in the rooms few weeks
later. Until the matron is installed
one of the keys to the house will be
found with Mrs" Byrd Trego, whose
home is near by. She will be glad
% show you the rooms or receive
your donation.

ng, so the ladies say to tell you, if
t is too stormy for you to attend
he rummage sale this week it will :,
'e continued next Friday and Sat
lrday, October 1924.
