COMMITTEES WORK
RESULT IN SUCCESS,

The grand success of the celebra-
tion is due principally to the hard
working members of the different
committees who have at all times
been on the job. Every man did
his best, or if he didn't he should
have, and the affair, although possi-
bly, not as largely attended as was
Old Home Week, was in every par
ticular as interesting and successful.
