will give employment to number
OF people.
A sewing unit was started here
last week with few women but il
is expected that the force will be
increased in a very short time.
The holly workers are gathering
material for the Christmas trade.
II is hoped that the good weather
will continue until supply of ever
grens can be stored away for future
work.
The work has been completed on
the Sunday School room, and the
place looks fine. The walls have
been painted ivory, and the wood
work white. A new floor has been
laid and now we need chairs. A
committee has been appointed to Sc
cure prices on the same. A number
of citizens have volunteered to do
nate a chair. At the presnt time
we need at least fifty to begin with
and plans are being made to raise
the necessary funds.
