crowd of Young people last Friday
evening who had assembled 10 do
homage to the ever popular fudge"
which has full sway in Merrill for
some days past, The fudge" was
excellent as evidenced by the short
time in which it was devoured. Wit,
ty conversation interspersed with
merry. laughter caused the time to
fit away when the jolly crowd dis
persed for their various homes hop
ing for a repetition of the happy nc-
casion at some time in the near flu
ture. ~,.~-'' .
