Mrs j. w. foreman, of Mayberry

Bloomsbury at the home of Mrs. Ed

fragrant that he did not consider it ad-
! visable to wait for the regular meet
ing but had authorized Constable w.
| f. Young to visit the spot at night
and arrest the first offender found
there. Mr.. Fischer's action in author
| izing arrests met the approval of the

tiou of Mr. Fischer the committee on
supplies was requested to examine the
different kinds of lead pencil sharpen
ers and report IA to their relative
merits at the next meeting
