The supper and sale given by the
ladies of the Presbyterian church at V. |.

probably the most successful affair of
the kind ever ventured here. 1t is said

able to visit the Crescent City church
on the second Sunday evening of each
month.
Socialism imported from HalSted street
Chicago has been tranSplanted at st.
Johns Park. But the climate and con
ditions at the Park are not promising for
a crop. Men may loaf and damn the gov,
eminent in Chicago and seemingly thrive
on free lunches, but here where thrift
is dependent upon work, it's different.
The brand of socialism introduced at
the Park is also a dollhouse plant and
doesn't do we'll in the woods.

If there is church, or a charity, OF

have neither limbs that will stand con
siderable elongation yet, and the time o
their departure draweth hencely, SO tt
speak. Most of these good people, too
are accustomed to more excitement thar
tbev are getting here and a little mil'
