The union social at the Baptist church on Friday evening was sue cess in every way. A large number in attendance, royal good time socially, bountiful repast served by the will ing workers, an interesting program well carried out, consisting of singing by Quartette. MeSsrs. Bates and Per rim, Mrs. Perrin and Mrs. Morse, a solo by MT. Bates, instrumental music by Marshal Perrin and son, recitation and reading by Mieses Gage and Bates. About SIS was taken in. The object of the social was to restore sum ot mon ey that had been given for the pastor of the Baptist church at Christmas time. At that time the two societies united, and served free chicken pie supper. That was not quite enough for some one, and consequently they stole the money designed as gift to the pastor. The worst wish that one has for such one is, that such a con- tempuble act may so trouble them that they may be led to better life.
