HOBLIT'S $500

A largely attended stunt party
was given last Friday night at the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. John Hoblit,
407 4th street northeast, by the
Ladies' Aid OF. the Baptist church.
The stunts were conducted by
Mesdames I. A. Hill and John Hoblit
and were very interesting and anus
ing. Among the stunts were the
guessing of the names of flowers,
drawings of which had been made,
and another contest in which the
victims were required to sing, recite
or play, as the case might be. Rev.
NJ. B. Milne was among the victims.
A candy sale was held following the
stunts, and refreshments were served
at the close of the evening. A very
good time was enjoyed by all.
