Grove Street Carnival

After several postponements oftthe soldiers monument fund, the monu- ment committee of the Woman's Re- lief .Corps had good weather Fuday night, and hundreds of people prome- naded Grove street from South Main to King street, taking in the sights, The residents along the street had en- tered into the spirit of the occasion and decorated their yards and houses with bunting, flags, and Japanese lan- terms.
 Stands were erected in front yards, and lemonade, ice cream, cake, frank furters, pop corn, fancy work ,land oth- CT articles, were on sale. A moving picture show In the Methodist church was an added attraction, operated by U. A. (. Warner. A "blindN boy picked up pennies, nickles, and dimes, and a registration book at a inickle a name was well filled. The American Band enlivened the scene with music, and hawkers with megaphones could be heard from all parts of the city. A fortune teller did a good business, and the grab tables proved good attrac- ton. The ladies are grateful 10 all who gave their services, especially the band. The cerniyal netted about $50, but small amount of this will have to be used to meet a deficit in the clam bake account caused by the rainy weather.
