DGAcNAGWs maTCH 0s-1nGfG was
something doing around the Town
Hall last Friday evening, when the
Library Association people gathered
together as per their pre-arranged
threat, to give a parcel post sale.
There was a good big bunch of people
present, with plenty OF small change
IN their pockets and the quickness
with which they snapped up the par
Gel post packages was a caution and
a JOY to the promoters of the inter-
esting event. Ice cream and cake
were sold, which also added to the
revenue of the occasion and one of the
features of the evening was the rail-
road riddle, which was some absorb
ing. Mr.. Louis Weihe was the most
complete thinker and appropriated the
