| iiS luil HSlu mere last "
| turned out to be a progressive affair
which stretched out over two days
1t will be remembered that Wednes-
day an exceedingly poor day for fair
but those in charge of the candy and
cake tables decided to sell their wares
rain or not, because their goods would
not be fresh later. Mrs. o. p. Stone
assisted by Mrs. Boardman, and Mrs
Backner, had charge of the cake ia
BILE, and speedily sold all their
wares, while the candy table, under
the SUPERVISION of Mrs. Paterson and
Miss Mills; both hotel guests, met with
similar success. On the next dav
Friday, the remaining tables sold
their goods. The various tables were
in charge of different summer people
of the island. Mrs. Kemp B. Batch
elor was in charge of the fancy work
table; Mrs. Shean of the apron table
and the ice cream stand was in charge
of Mr.. Kemp Bachelor and Miss Ma
jorie. The farm produce under the
care of the Misses McKeen of jewell s
Island, deserves especial mention. AT
this table everything that could be
| raised on farm was for sale, fruits
| eggs, berries, vegetables and even An
CORA kittens. An enormous amount
of money was taken in at this table
which We'd with the ice cream for the
title of most popular table. Although
the fair was not as successful as II
has been in previous years, vet con-
sidering the conditions, those in
charge are we'll satisfied with the re-
| suits.
A wrong impression is prevalent
| among the people concerning the laws
in regard to taking out books at the
| library II ID uonpro11y hnliounH Tho
the permanent residents have TO pay
in the summer to take out books.
This is not true. ANY permanent res
ident can take out book free of cost
on Wednesdays and Saturdays, sum.
mer and winter. Children. both of
those who are here for only the sum-
mer and those who live here the
whole year, may obtain books free.
Children are encouraged to take
books from the children's library,
which is said to be very excellent
one. All other people can get books
here for the small sum of five cents
week and two cents day when
overdue.
