The Chrsitmas advertising is very much in evidence this week and the readers, of the Graphic can tell from its pages just where to go to get presents for the holiday season. In fliis connection we wish to call attention to the many pretty store windows. Trimming show windows is an art and it is frequently remarked that Kinsley is fully 4ip-to-date in this line. It is well worth anyone's time just to go along--. the business streets and look at the many handsome and attractive A Fer; of the Comings, Goings, and Happenings in This Vicinity.

The annual fair of the Ladies' society of the Congregational church was held at the opera house Tuesday afternoon and. evening.

Under the management of the president, Mrs. H. P. Ketelson it was the same big success this year that it has ibeen during the past. The opera house was made into booths and a dining room.

Three of the booths were for the fancy wor. and, the fourth for candy and sweets, where Mrs. C. N. Mosher, assisted by Mrs.

Stolten-berg and Mrs. Will Bishop, whose name was omitted from the list of managers and assistant manaegrs last week, sold a large amount of confections. The color scheme was the best that has ever been arranged. The Christmas colors, green and red were used with white and the harmony was delightful. Mrs.

Baxter and Mrs. Rhodes in the first booth had a large assortment of bags, which included every-taing from delicately colored silk party bags down to the humble but useful laundry article. Next to this Mrs. Griffec and Mrs. G.

E. Wilson hud the linens and other fancy work, which made a beautiful display of Kinsley handicrafts. Next to them Mrs. Sterrett and Mrs. C.

O. Wilson presided over the apron booth where everything from a lace affair two by four inches to full grown work aprens were for sale. The ladies in these three booths had them deccrated in holly which was sent from Louisiana by Mrs. C. D.

Griffee's sister and which came in fine condition. The candy booth was decorated with California it 1 TTin I red and white streamers were used in the dining room where the tables were decorated with ferns and carnations and geraniums In the fair colors. Mrs. Merryman as hostess had. the assistance of Mrs.

Popp, Mrs. Herrmann and Mrs. Remer. The kitchen a model and was after the plans of Mrs. Chas.

Maxey, who as chief in the domestic department served the most elaborate and perfect dinner. ever enjoyed by a Kins ley crowd. The turkey, potatoes, rolls and gravy were steaming hot tnd served on hot plates. The salad and cranberry jelly were served on the tables and extraordinarily good coffee made by Mr. D.

H. Seymour assisted by Mrs. Carl Moore and Mrs. F. C.

Blanchard. Mrs. Maxey had a large and competent corps of assistants, among them a number of men whose wives are members of the society. It was really worth an admission price to see Dr. Stoltenberg serve pie a la mode, Jim Lewis carve and Henry Ketelson serve turkey, and the of the entire culinary region was George Hetzel who bossed the entire department and did more work than any other three.

To Mrs. Maxey, however, who planned and executed with the assistance of others, belongs the credit for this dinner, which was enjoyed by 260 people. Mr. Gus Hann helped the ladies in every department and gave most efficient assistance with the fine. cenermis smnr vhirh he Avhimt toward all public things.

He is the foremost citizen in helping forwar'd both amateur and proefssional enter prises and entertainments. A delightful musical program add ed much to the pleasure, of the visitors to the fair. It was arranged by Mr. Seymour, who accompanied the vocal and violin solos, and was as follows: Piano "Torch LiffhtDauce Rubensteia Kraeger Miss Bertha Schaatterly Piano "Tarantella-' "Merrr Christmas" "Bt Moonlight" Rita Popp Violin "Ansrel's Serenade" Braga "TraumereiV Schuman Miss Florence Col ver VocaJ "Sins: Me to Sleep' Green Miss Luclle DeTar Violin obligate) by Miss Colver "Alice Wnere Art Thou" Hancher Miss Ethel Baxter The proceeds of the fair netted about $250, the largest amount ever received. Every woman's child's coat marked down TO SELL.

Edwards, Noble Co. It Wright's Wisconsin buckwheat flour, the old-fashioned pure kind, at Gee'r's, 5-2t Large Audiences Attended the Show Both Friday and Saturday Nights. The minstrel shows given at the cperahouse Friday and Saturday nights by local talent, assisted by Joe Lee, were among the most pleasing entertainments ever given in this citj and were far superior to the production of the ordinary traveling troupe. There was not a dull moment from the time the curtain went up until it came dowrn after the last act. H.

Sellers, the interlocutor, and Paul L. Noble, Frary Read, Joe Lee, and Lorain Raker, the funny men, kept the audience in a gale cf laughter from start to finish. The solos by all of these gentlemen were well received and encored. The work of C. O.

Aiton's orchestra of fifteen pieces was a revelation to our people, who had not realized the perfection cf their work and the high class of music they are playing. Mark Rummell's trombone solo was up to the high standard this gentleman has attained, and the violin sclos by Mr. Aiton were easily the cai sheaf cf thiz musical harvest. The whole entertainment went through without a hitch or a break, nud was highly creditable to the management. A large audience greeted the players each night, and it certainly was funny to see our staid and usually dignified business men gro-j tesquely frescced with burnt ccrk and paint.

They were a jolly lot of fun-loving coons, and we certainly liope their effort to entertain may be repeated at no distant day. It was just pure-fun all the way through, and that is what we need. Another very pleasing feature of the program was the quartet of men's voices, and the choruses by the whole company were fine. Ladies' Aid Society. The Ladies' Aid Society of the M.

E. church held its monthly social -meeting at the home of Mrs. R. M. Jamison Wednesday afternoon.

The ladies are going to divide their society into working divisions and are making plans to have a bake sale every week In charge of one of thesf divisions. This plan will not be adopted until after the first of the year. Mrs. Leonard Nahar and her daughter, Mrs. E.
