that fully as many will attend this
year.

in that line cannot be surpassed. The
first year they undertook the banquet,
they did it with fear and trembling,
but practice makes perfect and they
can now arrange an elaborate banquet
and serve it in the most approved
manner, without a tremor.
The ladies take a great deal OF
pride in the beauty of their tables. as
well as in the excellence of their cook
ing, and the banquet on this occasion
is one which well deserves its fame.
Following the banquet the members
of the st. Johns lodge will hold their
annual election of officers.
