The event of the year was held or
Wednesday, and 1t surpassed every Other
occasion of similar nature, so far as the
crowd was concerned. People came from

ing to enjoy the pleasures of the harvest
home as well as to try the new road from
Gardeners corner to the Atlantic county
line. They said both could not be excelled.

well-deserYed reputation for being the
best that can be put before one.

things to eat, and were given the very
