WEST FAIRLEE CENTER.
The annual meeting of the COM
munity church was held Tuesday
afternoon, Jan. 3, in the vestry. The
following officers were elected: Mod
orator, Rev. Arthur H Sargent; Clerk
and Treasurer, Miss Marion M Mum;
Pulpit Supply committee, w Mum,
A j Russ, F G Cook; Trustee of the
parsonage, Fred Cook; Collector, Mrs
B M Ball. A repair committee of
five men to rebuild the steeple was
chosen as follows: Harp Southworth,
Sheldon, Dan Russ, Bertram Ball and
Elmer Hatch. The tresurer's report
showed that the year 1921 closed
with resources sufficient to meet all
bills and begin the new year with a
small balance on hand. This excel
lent result is due to all pulling to-
gether with liberal subscriptions and
generous gifts of money aand work,
1t is due also to the splendid bust
ness methods of the treasurer, Miss
Marion Mum.
