POTOSI EVENTS
General Items of Interest
Gathered by Our Special
Correspondent.
Fair and Bazaar Successful.

last Wednesday anu lnuFSudy Was
fairly we'll attended, Notwithstanding
that both days were wet and dis
agreeable. There were many things
OF value donated to the fair, and fancy
articles of needle work to the bazdaG
were offered for sale. A COW donated
by John MEME, was ratified and Miss
Carrie Stelpfug held the lucky num-
Der. The cow reverted back to the
congregation.
Andrew Bode had donated small
gasoline engine that was won 0y
Clarence thinner A violin outfit
given by Groenier's Dubuque Music
HOnse, was carried off by Hon. j. ".
Murphy of Platteville. Many other
articles, worthy of mention were WOE
by people whose names we are unable
10 ascertain. A quantity of corn and
other grain including potatoes, were
donated. All were sold at auction at
prices near market quotations. The
horseshoe pitching contests were in
competition both days, and many took
active interest in the sport. Who the
winners were. we are unable to say.
The two evening entertainments
were largely attended, the capacious
hall being filled to capacity. Wednes-
day evening local talent put on a
comic drama entitled, "a Country
Kid" that was we'll acted and drew
many rounds of applause. Thursday
evening the C. D. of A, of Lancaster,
presented a comedy entitled "Uncle
Jack" that was received with many
words of praise by the large audience.
Dinners and suppers were served
both days by the ladies of the cOngre-
cation and large crowds INDUCED in
the many good things to eat, that the
tables were laden with. All in all, it
can be truthfully said the fair and
bazaar in all it's features was a
browning success financially and
otherwise, AMI all principally due to
the people of the congregation them
selves The proceeds aggregated
about $500, which is quite on a
par, if it does not excel, any event of
a like nature of former years, and
this should be proof enough of the
great interest the people of the COIL
gregation took to make this their
crOwning occasion.
