Epworth League lee Cream Serial a Big Success.

The ice cream and cake social held on the lawn of the M. E. church parsonage was a success in every respect, over $23 having been taken in. It was given by Section No. 4, of the Epworth League of the M. E. church. Ice cream and cake were served on tables that were scattered about the lawn and several youdg ladies sold home-made candy from a quickly devised booth. J. A. McFarland took his peanut and popcorn machine to the parsonage lawn and sold corn for the League. He donated bis services and all the profits from the sales. A novel feature of the social was the music furnished by the boys band. Tuesday is the regular evening for practice so Prof. Otto Braun generously consented to take the band to the social and furnish music for the evening. They were followed there by a good sized crowd and no doubt contributed greatly to the success of the occasion. The lawn was madd very attractive by Japanese lanterns that hung in profusion overhead.
