The L. r. Il. of P's banquet and ball,
tomorrow night, promises 10 oe one OF the
best given in Bellaire lately The boys
have gone to great trouble, and have
worked hard 10 make this a sociaOle event.
! And il seems they will succeed The ban
| Quet will be spread in the supper room OF
! |. O. .. r. hall, aud the dancing will be IN
the main hall. Every thing has been ar
ranged, and the committee is feeling sure
OF successful issue Of the entertainment:
This order of X. OF T. is notably social
order, banded together for mutual protec-
ton and social Intercourse, taking care Of
each other ia sickness, and
making provision for their members
orphans in case Of death, The lodge in
Be!laire is large.One and in healthy,
prOsp porous condition.
This last week has not been much stirred
by social happenings. The most notable
was tide dance 1T Turner hall last Thurs
day night, given in honor of the Coffee
Circle" The cold, blizlardy weather has
prevented a good many people from al
tending social events, and mas had the ell
feet 10 cause those intending TO give them,
to postpone them TO more favorable time.
The y. L. A. M. of Ohio are TO attend
church on Sunday, February q, in com
memoration of Washington's birthday.
The order is given out by circular from
the State officers.
The Knights of the Golden Eagle Of
Bellaire. are growing, and is an order very
popular with the members. The atten-
dance is good and the interest in the order
der is intense They will have three candi-
dates for the second degree tomorrow
night.
The township trustees are petty well
erploved at this time hearing complaints
needs and attending to their wants. Mr..
George Kerns, the veteran trustee, says
there are three classes Of mendi-
cants who apply for charity, First,
there are the worthy poor who do all they
can TO keep the wolf from the door but
who. through no fault of their own, but
owing TO untOward circumstances are
brought TO want and have 10 seek ald from
the public This class is always welcome,
and the relief is cheerfully given. Then,
second. are the class OF poor VINO are not
able mentally to provide ahead Tor their
needs. This class are generally helped
when they call. These two classes consu-
tute about one.fourth of the applicants
Then third. we have the idle class, those
who wont work And this is the largest
class and the most persistent. There are
number of them in Bellaire, and 1t is an
unpleasant thing TO have to be t0rmented
with their opportunities. Ihere IS
no doubt but they are needy ana
their children should De kept
from suffering. Still it would be
a good thing if some way was PROVIDED 10
force the ''old man. TO 90 something to-
wards their support. Mr.. Kerns says they
offered them work on the pixies, but they
would not work. Just now the weather is
unfit for such Jobs. But when it does open
mn some of them should be made work or
90 hungry. He tells me that he can't re-
fuse any, when hesthnks it a worthy case
And he has proved himself one OF ouraoest
and most Jealous officials. Ihe once Is
very disagreeable one. As you never get
gratitude for giving and are heavily
blamed and many times cursed for refus'
lnr. And here is an Office that man sure
lv would never seek after once having
served q term Of three years.
