The liat had one of those high soft crowns that can so easily to the wearer's- satisfaction, and it was stitched loosely in wool a shade darker than the tone of the hat. The wide brim was bounded on the outer edge with beaver. The scarf had a narrow turnover collar 011 the side worn next ifhc throat, and it, too, wns tK?rde?red with beaver. The bag was melon -shaped, with a long strap to go over the arm; two or three nar row rows of beaver ran around it.

ANNUAL BAZAAR v WAS SUCCESS The annual bazaar given by the la dles of the Presbyterian Church is al ways looked forward to with a great deal of pleasure, for the natives know that a good entertainment is in store for them. The last bazaar was not an exception to the rule, and with the exception of Inclement weather, it open ed under very favorable conditions. Beautiful articles were on sale, that would suit the most fastidious for gifts at the Christmas season. A candy booth was very' inviting, and the Christmas tree on Friday evening was a delight to the little ones. The oyster supper was very tempting on a cold night, and the turkey dinner served on Saturday prpved that our old-time Southern cook ing is not a lost art. Beautiful and useful articles on sale, at reasonable prices, good eats with generous help ing* Is the secret of the success of this bazaar. - Wummikar Heads Lodge. William W.

Corn Growing Contest As has been the case with many others, we have realized the necessity of our farmers devoting more of their time and energy to the production of foodstuffs, and with this i4ea in view we organized last summer what we termed a corn growing contest and offered certain prizes for the larg est yield of corn to be grown on land from which a crop of either wheat or oats had already been gathered. While unfortunately the August drought seriously decreased the^ yield of all corn planted in the month of June, we feel very much gratified over the interest shown by the contestants (so much so that we shall organize something of a similar nature next year) and are pleased to print below the names of the respective prize winners.

The discussion of a Community Christmas tree claimed attention for quite a while. It was the desire of some to have this tree on one of our beautiful parks with fruit, candy, and refreshments for every child who might not have this brightness and cheer at home. Others were in favor of wending fruit and candy to the homes of the children, as they did not think tlx* festive tree with all its gay doc- i orations in keeping with the spirit of the times. When the vote was taken it was decided not to have the tree, j hut (lie children are not to he forgot ten.
