P, A. and the Ladies Aid of the Evangelical church on Monday night was a success in every particul- ar. The hall wasfiled to its utmost capacity ,standing ,room being at a Premium, The program .rendered en- tirely by local talent would have clone credit to our largest cities. The sale of the boxes by our local auct- ioneer Mr H. Bossenberry proved to be very satisfactory indeed, and then the contents of the boxes were such as the good ladies of this community know how to prepare, and were ail- ed ed with sufficient to satisfy the rnost craving appetite. The only drawback was the hall wastoo small to accom modate the people, and many were use- able to gain admittance. The success of this the first' box social held here will surely prompt a like occurrence some future time.
