TAKE vows TO WE'D
Four New Members Admitted to Old
Maids League at Bristol.

Four New Members Admitted to Old
Maids League at Bristol.
The Old Maids League of the town
of Bristol, which has lost two mem
bers during the present year by the
inroads of the God of Love, is on the
gain again, for at the regular meeting
of the league, held on last Friday
evening, four new members were re-
ceived into the league, and the mem
bership list is again filled.
The league has been one of the flour
ishing organizations of the town of
Bristol for the past three or four years.
It is distinctly social organization,
and the mysteries of organization
have thrown a charm about the young
women which has made them irresist-
ible to the young men of the village,
and during the past year two of the
young women of the league have
been selected as wives by>we11-known
men of the village.
The membership of the league has
always been limited to ten, but since
the organization was formed four of
the young women had deserted the
league, and vacancies had been left
The new members of the league, as
announced after the last meeting, are
Lulu Rowbottonl, Ly dia Curtis, Jessie
Garland and Jennie Garland
All of these young ladies, before
having their names inscribed on the
membership lists, were forced to take
the usual obligation, and each of them
made solemn vow that they would
do all in their power to secure hus-
band during the coming year. After
the young women had been initiated
and had taken the vows the meeting
was adjourned for a year, and at the
next yearly meeting each of the
young ladies will be expected to give
report of her efforts to carry out the
vow. If she is unsuccessful she will
be forced to pay fine into the treas
ury of the society.
This organization among the young
women of Bristol is the most UNIQUE
of the kind in the state, and it is even
a more noteworthy organization than
the Old Maids League of Kenosha
which was recently disbanded.
