FIRST ML Banquet. 2 Held Last Nght Is a Thoroughly Successful and Most Enjoyable Affair The first annual banquet of the Sayre Business Men's Association, which is a few weeks less than a year old, was held last night in John R. Casper’s handsome ani well appointed dining hall at No 226 Desmond street, and it can be unhesitatingly and truthfully as- serted that“few, if any, of the sim. ilar events given in this place in recent years, will equal it in the outburst of good fellowship and perfect harmony which prevailed throughout the-entire evening. There was not a single hitch. All the details had been carefully attended to by the various commit tees, and when the organization and their invited guests sat down by Caterer Kasper there was not a single thing missing which would in any way mar the pleasure of the event. Twenty-seven puests had been invited and nearly all were present, including President Lawrence of the village of Waverly, Secretary Decker of the Athens Business Men's Assoclation, Hon. L.T. Hoyt member of the assembly from this county, Dr. Charles H. Ott of the Packer hospital, Jos. W. Beaman, Esq, of Athens, and other repre- sentative business and professional men of the three valley towns Covers hid been laid tor go and nearly every place at the tables was occupied. A collation prepared under the direction of John R Casper, Sayre's well known res tauranteur, was served with neat ness and despatch, while the iaspir- ing strains of McGuffic's string orchestra added greatly to the enjoyment of the diners. Every business interest in the banner town of the valley was represented, and when the guests and members of the organization departed for their homes there was a unanimous sentiment that the four or more hours which had been speat in feasting and speech making were hours well spent and that the results therefrom will be of inesti- mable benefit to not only those who were present but to the citi zens of Sayre generally. Those who responded to toasts cannot be complimegged too highly. The toast list contained seven numbers, and while it would take too much space to, give even a short synopsis of the address of each speaker, it is an admitted fact that each subject was most appro- priate to the occasion and was handled in every instance in an intelligent and forceful manner, The immediate needs ol the bor- -|ough were brought to the attention of those present by logic traveling hand in lind with eloquence, while excellent suggestions for the ad- vancement of the association were received with much enthusiasm Dr. C. J. Cummings occupied the toastmaster’s chair and acquit ted himself in a most creditable manner, his introduction of the various speakers being punctuated with many sallies of wit, which at times brought down the house. Those who responded to toasts are as follows : “Organization, the Watchword of the Times and Age," C. C. West; Organizatiod and As sociation,” M. H. Sawtelle : “The Benefits of Organization,” D. Clar ey; "Municipal Improvements,” | A. Samuels ; “Opposition and Com petition,” T. J. Leahey; “Cash Versus Credit,” A. P. Wieland ; “The Retail Merchant,” Frid E Seager; “Equal Taxation,” Wm M. Cross. After the regular toast list had been concluded several were call. d upon who made ringing speeches of an impromptu nature which were well received and highly “NPORTANT QUESTION Banquet Speakers Were United in Supporting Plans for a Sewer for the Borough Among the speakers at the ban- quet last night who tpuched upon the subject at all it was the consen- sus of opinion that the sewer pro- ject is the most important question which confronts the citizens of Sayre at the present time. The question was referred to by several of the principal speakers and in each instance the Business Men's Association was urged to give the project its undivided support. The suggestion was made that the association should appoint a com mittee to wait on the borough council in an advisory capacity, and urge such legislation as is deemed indispensable to this municipality. Rev. J. L. Shanley, of the Church of the Epiphany, in a brief address touched the keynote of the quess tion when he said that timidity should give way to boldness and that public improvements should be installed in the borough and the town bonded in such a manner that posterity would be compelled to pay at least a part of the cost. The suggestion is an excellent one for the council to give its attention. A little more of that quality which makes the successful speculator on the part of those in authority would give to this borough many things which at the present time it 1s domg without CHARLES FRANCIS LAMBERT DEAD Highly Respected Young Man Expires This Morning of Con- sumption The death of Charles Francis Lambert, one of Sayre’'s best known and highly respected young men, occurred at the home of his mother, Mrs. Hannah Lambert, No. 108 North Wilbur avenue, this morn- ing at 6:50 o'clock, and exactly one week after the death of his sister, Mrs. John J Holleran.
