Although Friday afternoon did
not look as if it would u| favorable
for an oyster supper, when night
came on and the moon arose, a more
lovely scene was never viewed.
About seven o’clock the guests
began arriving, and on entering
found the house thrown open for
their amusement and the tables,
decorated with snowy linen, hand
some center-pieces and beautiful
vases of chrysanthemums, looked
very inviting.
According to promise, the oysters
were delicious,and were compliment
ed by everyone. Hot coffee was
served with the oysters. Then ice
cream and cake was served and en
joyed by all. Those who waited on
the tables found it very fatigueing,
yet each one feels well repaid for
her trouble, as the money realized is
for tho benefit of all.
We especially thank those who
came from a distance to help us out
in our undertaking, and were very
much encouraged to Bee a four-horse
wagon arrive from Marshallville and
a wagon and several buggies from
Perry.
Twenty-six dollars was cleared,
and the money will be used to fur
nish the school room with desks.
There is still a deficiency of $13,and
by some other means this will be
obtained and the Bchool room will
be furnished for'the spring term.

Already $15,000 has been raised for
running the school, exclusive of
