be interested in a banquet held in
the Town Hall at Thetford Center,
Thursday, March IL. A cordial
letter was issued inviting each town

of good citizenship. Dinner was
served at twelve O'Clock by the
Ladies Aid Society of Thetford
Center and the ladies were very
generous, for the dinner was worth
more than the price paid for it.

words, introduced the following
persons who responded to their re-
spective toasts: c. A. Adams,
