O. F. S. G ROVERTOWN. The oyster supper given by the Ladies Aid society Thanksgiving night was a decided success; nothing ma terial occurring to mar the enjoyment of those in attendance. The supper was such as would gratify the appetite of the most fastidious epicure and those ladies who prepared the supper know just how to do it. When our church was dedicated the Ladies Aid society assumed one hundred dollars of the indebtedness, and the zeal and heroism which they have shown in going about the work of re leasing themselves from this obligation was truly noble and highly com mend a ble.
