Last, because we believe this completes
the long list of church and society sales
which take place at this season every

1t was one of the most successful that
has been held. The hall looked very
attractive in Its decorations of green and
white, and once more the skill OF
Chas. Akers, who had charge of this
work, was demonstrated. All the usual
tables were we'll laden with goods which
found q ready sale. The leading feature
of the entertainment Wednesday even
ing was the vocal solos by Miss Hazel
Woodbury. OF Auburn, who appeared
here for the first time, and whose sing
ing was much enjoyed. The chicken pie
supper Thursday evening was partaken
of by about 200 and was pronounced
first class by all. The mystery auction
which provided entertainment on this

source of considerable income, rs we'll as
furnishing amusement. A. D. Park of
