Dona- tions towards the supper will be thankfully received, and", as in the" past, it is expected there will be a. big response to, the ladies in theit’ request for eatables for their big supper next Thursday night. Come out and see the exhibits; see your friends, enjoy the entertain- ment and last, but not least, help to lift the Society out of its financial idifl'iculty.
