UNITARIAN FAIR.
Successful Sale and Pleasing Evening
Entertainment.


The annual fair of the Unitarian
society held last Wednesday at Han
cock hall, was success from every
point of view-fnancially to the So
ciety, and socially to all who at
tended. The hall was attractively
decorated, and the booths displayed
many articles appealing to buyers
Practically everything was sold dur
ing the afternoon.
The children took especial delight
in visiting Jack Frost's House,"
where Jack Jarvis Woodward Frost
gathered in the dimes and passed out
surprise packages always to the full
value of the dime and sometimes
more.
The entertainment in the evening
was one of the most delightful ever
given here. The program was short.
as it was intended it should be.
The artists graciously responded to
encores, but all in the audience
would have enjoyed hearing them in
a much longer program.
Miss Charlotte Armstrong, violin
list, who is spending the summer
here, was heard for the first time in
public in Ellsworth. Miss Arm
strong is an artist of much more than
ordinary ability Ellsworth music
lovers have heard many violinists,
but none who pleased them more
than Miss Armstrong. Her selec-
tions we're as follows
Canzonetta .............. dAmbrozio
I'd Mazurka ............. Wieniawski
Ave Maria ........ Shubert- elmj
Viennese Melody Gaertner- Kres ler
Miss Gertrude Jewell sang beauti-
fully two selections, 'Homing," by
Teresa Del Riego, and cat Parting"
by James H. Rogers. Miss Jewell S
voice, always sweet, is developing
richer tones and volume, and her
Ellsworth admirers predict future
conquests for her as a vocalist.
/ Royal X. Haynes, one of the sum-
mer school students, delighted all
with his readings. He possesses rare
ability as a reader, and if he chooses
/ to make it his vocation or his avoca-
ton, he will rank high in the profess
, sion. Miss Erva Giles served with
her usual artistic efficiency as accom-
PIANIST.
! Following the entertainment, dane
ing was enjoyed until midnight. the
Pine Tree Seven furnishing excellent
, music.

Loss of Appetite
That Tired Feeling

Thousands take Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla as their tonic medicine for that
tired feeling, nervous weakness, i'm
pure blood, and testify that it makes
them feel better, eat and sleep better.
Hoods Sarsaparilla has given en-
tire satisfaction to three generations
in the treatment of general debility.
1t restores the appetite, relieves that
tired feeling, enables the system to
resist infectious diseases.
Hoods Sarsaparilla aids digestion
and makes food taste good. A good
cathartic is Hoods Pills.

How About Your Land ?
Wac your land sold for Taxes? Did, you buy,
or do you own land that was advertised in
the name Of the former owner for failure to
pay the Taxes?

When you buy land, be sure to
SIX and demand that the taxes
nave been paid-not listed on the
tax books-I mean paid to the
sheriff and a tax receipt to show
for it. Taxes follow the land
come up like the grass on it.
If your name appeared among
those whose land was advertised
in the Rockingham Post Dispatch
as provided by law, and later you
were again notified by notice for
application for deed, and you
have not paid the taxes and costs,
be assured we shall apply on
May the first to the sheriff for a
deed to the county, and then and
after interest shall be added at
So and the additional cost as
provided by law. We have no
choice in the matter. 1t is simply
the law.
Come at once and save the
costs.
Very truly,

THE sports hats the thing. Away
l. with millinery furbelows when hill
side and stream, tennis court and
golf ground lure to sunshine and sport
in the great outdoors.
We are remaining true to our first
love, the fabric hat. While straws
have come In strong for millinery in
general. when it comes to the sports
hat. fabric remains the thought SUI
preme, although many sports hats
have straw fucinls. There is, however,
exceptions to the rule in the straw
body hats and in the new tagal straw
hats cut out Of large plaques, just the
same as of material by the yard.
These tagal shapes, through the deft-
ness Of the designer, are embroidered
over their entire area either with
straw, angora or ch1nile. They are as
pliable as the fabric cuff hat.
AS to color, even the millinery Vo-
cabulary fails to convey the vivid
charm of the light copper shades or
mimosa yellow, paddy green, sage col
or. roso shadeS roman stripeA blue1ay,
amberglow and kindred sports tones,
