In fact, we are about to despair since we have found so many “old- maids” in our midst. Our rules and regulations are something dreadful, and our sink ing fund without depth. Please be careful that you do not confuse our occupation with that of other renown. Mind you, we don’t spin “sters’ fojgfcj “yam,” so any amount may be obtained at the club-house. The main purpose of our organ ization is to develop local talent and to tb ©roughly familiarize the members with parliamentary laws in order that each old-maid may time to pass her judgment on man (and) kind (of man.) Miss Francis Moore entertained at the last meeting and never did a hostess prove more charming. Much work was planned for the future, under the direction of the following officers: Miss Mary Kil- len,President; Miss Carolyn Elise Riley Vice president, Miss Holle- man, Secretary; Miss Francis Moore,Treasurer;and Misses Kate Hodges and Willie Cooper Edi tors. The nest meeting will be held at the Vice president’s home on Main street, Thursday afternoon at 4:80 o’clock. To The Public.
