Another annual Grange fair passed
off satisfactorily last Friday, both So
cially and financially notwithstanding
the showery afternoon. There was u
good attendance at the chicken pic sup
per and more came to take in the
evening entertainment when A Fool
for Luck was given. During the
evening Mrs. w. n. Wheeler played pi-
ano selections and Mr.. and Mrs. f. n.
Fisher sang.
The Cleaners booth was attractivcly
trimmed and in charge of Mis-. Il. Il.
Willard and Mrs. A. l.. Timson where
fancy work and aprons were on sale.
Ronald Fisher, Cheney and William
Williams were in charge of the candy
and pop corn booth and proved good
statesmen, being sold out long before
the close of the evening. Mrs. NJ. w.
Bingham presided over the grab booth
which was delight to the children.
There was an excellent exhibit from
the village schools and the South
Newfanc school. A fine display of
fancywork was on exhibition, notice
able among this being tatting, crochet
and embroidery shown by Mrs. w. j.
White. Ronald Fisher and Cheney and
William Williams had several boxes
of beetles, butterflies and moths. In
the food exhibit there was choice
variety and good share of it made by
the children.
A bear trap was on exhibition by
WI nh ntt Tod
usual attention as but few had ever
seen one.
The agricultural exhibit was up to
