and this year gold and white festival,
was held by the ladies of the parish Ia.
the town hall Thursday and Friday eve
nings and there was a large attendance
both nights, but the number present
was somewhat below the high average

towns. although many came from away
to enjoy the festivities and renew Old
acquaintance.
The crowds filled the hall, which was
very attractive with its many booths
tastefully decorated with the predomin-
ant colors of gold and white. Much
time had been spent in the construc-
ton and the arrangement Of the booths,
and the flower booth with it's contents
was especially noteworthy, as was the
fancy booth. The sales were brisk and
much money was realized in return FOR
the conscientious work of the members
of the society the past several weeks.
On Thursday evening a bounteous
chicken pie supper with all the fixings
| was served by the women from $50
until s o o'clock, which was well patron
