The supper and festival held under
the auspices of the Ladies Aid Soci-
| ETY. of the NJ. E. Church on Saturday
evening last in EliZabethian Hall was
a grand success socially and fnan-
cially. While there were not as many
present, especially from a distance,
owing chiefly to the short notice and
the very busy season with the farmers
many of them did not get to attend.
but those who were there were there |
for business, as almost every avail |
able item on the bill of fare was dis
posed of before eleven o'clock, and |
when the committee counted up the !
proceeds they found they had cleared |
fifty dollars above all expenses. The |
committee desires through this med
ium to thank all who assisted in max
ing the affair a success.
