THE “ODD MAIDS” HELD FORTH AT THE AUDITORIUM BAST THURSDAY NIGHT. According to previous announce ment the “Old Maids” met in open session at. the Gordon Insti tute Auditorium, last Thursday night. All of the members were present to take part in the exercise. The covention was formed at this place live years ago and since that time it. had been in flourishing condi tion. The members now com posing this body were those incor porated in the original organiza tion, none having died or married in that interval. The watchword of this lovable body was man, and lie was the theme of all their un dertakings. They came robed in their brightest finery and with their choicest expressions, And last, but not least worthy of mention, Prof. Pinkerton came upon the scene with his wonderful machine, the transfdrm(h)er. Some old maids he turned into beautiful maidens with entran cing voices, etc., others he made mistakes, and some he made total I failures with. The latter case was not due to any unworthiness j of his machine, but to the tough ness of the subjects. Those taking part in this affair acquitted themselves with great | credit and gave a pleasing enter | tainment much enjoyed by the au dience. A large number went to ; hear and see them and quite a neat sum was realized for the | benefit of the church. The Bar j nesville Silver Cornet Band fur nished the music for the evening and rendered a number of selec | tions well. The presence of the band added much to the enjoy ment of the occasion. The thanks of the “Old Maids” are extended to the band and the public. About sixty dollars was realized for the Episcopal church. COLLIERCO’S. WEEKLY NEWS It’s Here.. the commencement time.
