Thanksgiving Day was quietly OBJ
served here, the races were postponed
owing to the snow storm. In the even
ing the Ladies' Aid Society gave sup
per in the town hall which was largely
oatronized in spite of the weather. The
decorations of red and white crepe paper
in graceful festOOns made things look
cheerful and cosy. The tables looked
lovely with their unique decorations of
fruits and vegetables arranged in an
artistic manner and lighted with can
dies. Everybody had the 'Thanksgiv-
jng" air and a delicious supper was
served by fair maidens and matrons, all
Of whom were dressed in white and
wearing dainty aprons. Mrs. Wiggs
very soon disposed of the - treasures
found in her cabbage patch and the
youngsters clamOred for more and were
given the paper cabbages with which
they decorated themselves and had a
gala time with frolic and play. The
supper was a success both socially and
financially. Quite a number of articles
we're left over from the fancy table,
which have been left with Mrs. Mary
E. Boone for disposal. 1t will be fine
opportunity to purchase Christmas gifts.
The prices are very reasonable.
