and Rev. Mackay Mr. Taylor spoke
along the line of community better

! men and women giving careful at
| tention to it.
The evening program consisted Of
! play given by the club girls and OF
vocal and instrumental music.
Mamie Mitchell, Ada Lawrence, and
Will Davis furnished the instrumen-
tai part, rendering number of Sc
J lections which were much appreci-
ated. The ladies' quartet appeared
twice during the evening and were
popular with the audience. The
songs by the club girls and the high
school also were well received. The
audience though suffering consider
able discomfort because of the
crowded condition of the house,
was quiet and attentive throughout
the program.
The best baby contest OH Satur-
day morning proved to be one of the
| most interesting features of the fair.

preparing this exhibit was very
short. The gtaality of the corn and
potatoes exhibited by the boys and
girls caused much favorable COM
ment, while the display exhibit, con-
sisting of fancy work, relics, ETC.,
proved very interesting.

better than this one. All teachers
IN the township are asked to have
their pupils, during the remainder
