 The annual fair of the boys and girls garden club will be held at the village center next Saturday after noon. The Methodist church was filled with an enthusiastic assembly last Wednesday night to make. ar engagements. Committees were ap- pointed to prepare grounds and decor rations, arrange exhibits, schedule the sports, solicit funds to be used as pre- miums for the children, interest the girls in making exhibits of sewing and cooking, and judges for all exhibits. As the enthusiasm of the young folks has never been greater, it is antici- pated the afternoon will be a red letter day for Staffordville. This year the boys were supplied more seed and in greater variety than before, so an extensive exhibition of their garden craft is looked for. Flower seeds were given to 20 girls, so the usual display of flowers, raised by the girls, is ex- pected. A new feature this year is the interesting of the girls in making exhibits of their own handicraft in sewing and cooking. These exhibits will all receive cash premiums, for which purpose the townspeople have so cheerfully contributed. It is hoped the Stafford band may be present If Oct. II is rainy, the fair will be Oct. IS.
