The program closed with a short address by Rev. Dutton, after which refreshments were served and a social time enjoyed.
The G.A.R. and W.R.C.Thursday evening of last week took possession of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Baseley, as they have been in the habit of doing with several of their most prominent members of late, and although it had been planned as a surprise Mrs. Baseley got onto the racket and when the proper time arrived, invited the guests to come and partake of an elegant oyster supper she had prepared for the purpose. Varied and numerous were the amusements of the evening and it was past midnight hour when all retired, thanking Mr. and Mrs. Baseley for their kind hospitality and a most pleasing evening.
The Mystic Workers’ social held at the M.W.A. hall Friday evening was attended by about 100 guests and it proved one of the enjoyable events of the season. Progressive euchre had been planned for the leading feature of amusements, but as the guests arrived they began to enjoy themselves to the full extent of the law at cards and caroms and to try to divert their attention to the porgressive idea seemed fruitless, and as all were enjoying themselves, the idea was abandoned. A grand relay of refreshments was served at 11 o’clock, for which all stopped to enjoy. After the repast dancing was indulged in until about 1 o’clock. The Mystic Workers now have a membership of 107 and has the distinction of being the largest lodge in our village.
