The Ladies' Aid cleared $500
at their chicken pie supper Thurs
day. Their success was due large
ly to the splendid cooperation Of
the farming community as we'll as
the village people. Nearly all the
chickens were donated and some
fine eating apples were supplied
for the tables. The ladies gave
tic cakes, doughnuts and pies,
and the merchants donated sugar,
coffee, etc. For all this assistance
the society feels very grateful, and
we know that when the new
church carpet is down, and other
repairs made from time to time,
that everyone will like to feel that
they helped make these things
possible.
