MARLBORO WIDOWS
FORM A UNION.
Bring Bachelors and WidOwers
to Time at Once.
GRASS WIDOWS NOT IN IT.
Stirring Movement at Observation-Disclosures
and WidOwers Wake Upand
Make u Plea for
Union.

| The widows of Marlboro, weary Of
their loneliness, and pining away for
the lack of fellowship, have organized.
| Not to be outdOne the bachelors and
widOwers have banded themselves to-
! gether, memorialized the widows and
| uggested cooperation.
OF the 290 people in Marlboro about
| are widows, some older and some
younger. Added to this is a dozen or
more of grass widows. There is about
an equal number of bachelors and wild
overs but for some reason unaccounted
for they have utterly failed to embrace
their opportunities and so the. widows
have been left lonesome and solitary in
their seclusion. But such a condition
could not go on. The widows felt some
thing must be done, the subject was
gone over and they decided they must
organize. 1t all came about last Mon
day when nineteen of the 40 widows
the grass widows are strictly excluded
from the new movement-met at the
house of Mr.. and Mrs. Lee Beeson to
celebrate the list birthday anniversary
Of Mrs. Lucinda Stevens.
After enjoying a bountious dinner
with it's encouraging soulful discussions
the moderator called the assembly to
order, opened with scripture reading
and prayer, and the widows, having
gone over the matter thoroughly pre-
Viously, proceeded to form an association
by electing the following officers: Pres
ident, Mrs. Esther Thomas; secretary,
Mrs. Louisa France; treasurer, Mrs.
Henrietta Wearstler 1t was decided
to meet at least annually and if occasion
requires special meetings may be called.
The news of the meeting quickly
spread and the bachelors and widowers
were deeply stirred. They began to
fear they had been allowing the golden
opportunities Of life to slip by, and not
knowing what secret maneuVers were
contemplated by the widows they hast
ened to place themselves Alright with
the new society. They too organized
and hurriedly drew up resolutions
which they addressed to the Widows
Aid and Benefit Society. The resolu-
tions were couched in such soulful terms
that they felt assured of victory from
the start. They expressed deepest sym
pathy with the widows and suggested
a union of the two societies for THE
mutual advancement of matrimonial
opportunities" John Rhoades, Jess
Bob Whitacre James Rosia
and others signed the report as the COM
mittee.
The widows read the resolutions at
their meeting with much satisfaction.
They accepted the name of the Widows
Aid and Benefit society of Marlboro
and looked with favor upon the sugges-
tions Of union, but not wishing to ap-
pear hasty in the matter action was
to make the Widowers and
Bachelors society grow more eager.
There the matter was left at adjourn

officers and the mayor will make dill
gent effort to capture these parties and
they will be given the maximum sem

ed. Within the last few days several
parties appeared at the police station
and alleged that they were drugged and
robbed at certain places which they
named. Thomas Tobias a farmer re-
siding near this city came to town Mon
day and carried in his pockets some
thing like $40. He knows that he spent
50 but the other 81, he alleges, were
taken out of his pocket while he was
doped in an east end resort. He was
arraigned before the mayor and told a
story as to how he landed in a place
and asked for a glass of beer 1t ap-
pears from his statements that after
drinking the beer he at once became sick
and semi-conscious and wandered away
upon the street where the officers found
him. The difficulty thus far has been to
secure evidence against these parties,
but in the future the police will thor
oughly investigate such cases and where
there is any suspicion of drugs being
in any way the party will
be called to account for it whose place
