Branchville, Dec. 15.-Special:
the Bazaar given by the ladies of
the Methodist church last week came
to a close on last Friday night.
This was the annual event Of the
kind and was considered by every
one to be the best one ever held
in Brnchville. The net proceeds OF
the sales of the goods amounted to
s351.43. This money will be used
by the ladies in refurnishing the
parsonage.
Everything was arranged most
tastefully in the. Town Hall. There
were booths for country store,
ice cream, cake, aprons, fruit, candy,
handkerchiefs, dolls and fancy work,
with great big table on the stage
for serving supper and oysters.
Each booth was decorated beauti-
fully and the manager of each booth
thought that theirs was more beau
tiful than the other ones. All the
merchandise that was offered for
sale in the booths was sold before
the time arrived to close the bazaar.
Large crowds was present each night
and everyone seemed to be having
a good time and trying to make
everyone else happy, too. The
bazaar this year was great event
and will be remembered by all for a
long time. This was the second ba-
baar that has been held here in the
past thirty days and the success
Of the former was about as good
as the latter.
