 The banquet for Saturday night is being served by the ladies of the Baptist church, and no other assur- ance is needed that you will have an abundance of good things to eat, and served in the most pleasant manner. Remember, however, that these good ladies must know how many expect to attend before they can make ample provision for your accommodation. Notify the committee without delay that you will be present and they will then be able to tell the leader how many plates to prepare.
