The celebration of the one hundredth
anniversary of the birth of Deacon Ezra
Hammond will be held at the Congrega
tional church in West Woodstock on
Saturday afternoon, Feb. 17. A cordial
invitation is extended to all friends.
The ladies will serve dinner in the vestry
from 12 to 1.80 o’clock to invited guests
outside the parish.
The Thursday dinners given by the
ladies of the village at the Congrega
tional vestry are constantly increasing
in popularity, the one held last Thurs
day being the largest yet given. The
sewing is progressing favorably, as the
public will have a chance to see some
time in the near future. Surely the
social spirit has developed greatly since
these gatherings were started and it is
| hoped much other good will come from
them, too.
