The Fair and drama held under the auspices of the Congregational Ladies' Aid Tuesday evening was a great success and about $275 was realized. Notwithstanding the weather the hall was filled for the drama, everyone knowing that a drama staged by Mrs. Emma J. Young would be worth braving the elements to see, and they were not disappointed in "Farm Folks." Many pronounced it the finest amateur performance ever placed on the stage. Each part seemed to have been assigned to just the right person and each one certainly carried out the part finely. Mrs. Young always pleases the audience with her portrayal of the busy neighbor. Mr. and Mrs. Warren Clark and Walter Clark were exceptionally fine in their parts while Mr. Donald really did his part as a professional as did Mrs. Scott Noyes. Miss Bradbury was as typical a servant as Mr. Emery and Mrs. Berry were "Farm Folks." Miss Cutts was a sweet city girl and charmed the audience.

The Supper Committee from the Ladies' Aid Fair of the Congregational Church wish to thank everyone who contributed so generously for the success of our supper.
