 bers seem intent on having her as
 the president for the coming year.

 afternoon and last night, the pro-
 ceeds to be used in making up the II Christmas boxes, was an immense success.

 l. Bristol Wins At Cards le The Plainyile Chamber of Con-
 merce card teams, went down to 70 ignomnious defeat last evening at F, the hands Of the teams from the ,r Bristol club. The locals were suc-
 cessful in having only one team win
 out during the nights play and the , much vaunted skill of Plainville was ,mn m minimized by the excellent playing ,o Of the Bristol combinations. . The Plai1ville teams, however do /, T not consider one defeat convincing ~ and they vii, play q return match I against the Bristol crews In Bristol " on a date shortly after the holiday
