CHICKEN SUPPER WELL ATTENDED

Many Were Turned Away From M. E. Church Supper Thursday Evening —Another to Be Held. Rensselaer people were all hungry Thursday and the chicken supper given at the M. E. church dining basement brought out so many that all could not be fed, the supply of chicken, noodles, potatoes, gravy and pumpkin pie being entirely exhausted long before all had been served. One hundred and forty were served and the ladies made $35. The ladies Industrial Society of the same church have determined to give another chicken supper on the evening of Oct. 30th, Hallowe’en. They promise to have sufficient on hand to care for all who come. N In the meantime it is quite probable that some of the other churches will hold one and the chicken hungry can thus be satisfied.
