.VICILANTS HOLD
88TH MEETING

The eighty-eighth annual meeting
of the Lambertville Vigilant Society,
held in st. Andrews Hall last
Thursday evening, was most
pleasing affair, but not quite so well
attended as those held heretofore at
midday.
The most important action at the
business meeting was the decision
to return to the old order of midday
meetings and dinner, but the bust
ness session will begin at 1880, and
the turkey dinner-which is the
star attraction--will be served at
1890. In days gone by the business
meeting was called at 10 o'clock,
and the dinner at 1915, leaving a
stretch of time in between.
There will be revision of the
Bylaws at the next annual meet
ing, new provisions to be offered
that will take care of present day
conditions.
The dinner was the first thing
on the program, and the ladies of
st. Andrews Church we'll sustained
their fame for supper the mem
DRY of which will last until next
year. An added incentive to make
the food taste good was the unex-
pected concert provided by chorus
from the Centenary M. E. Church.
Musical numbers were furnished
throughout the dinner, and at the
close all the Vigilant members stood

least, as many joined in as could
