V In -spite of the weather, the fowl supper and entertainment. given by the Methodist church was quite a success. The evening selected proved to be one day too late, as- the remarkably ne weather of this autumn seems to have ended on that day. However, the rain was much needed and did not seriously affect the success of the evening, so all` were pleased. The ladies showed their ability to prepare a fowl supper, the re- sult of their efforts being much enjoyed by those present. The entertainment proved to be quite entertaining, In-. vteresting addresses were given by Revs. McConnell, Ross and Walker. Our growing. patriotic sentiment was shown by the reception accorded the address of Rev. Mr. Ross on "0anada, and a patriotic song, The Land of the Maple, by the quartette, Mr. H. Wal- lace singing the solo. Judging from the manner` in which this and their other selections were received, the audi- ence was well pleased with the efforts of our boys, Dr. Large is always heard with pleasure here, and never more so than on this occasion. The audience was delighted with the kinder- garten song, Miss Snowake," by Miss Lila Adas. Rev. Large, the pastor, made an excellent chairman. Total proceeds, $67.
