dollar Dinner
a Great Success.

The young ladies who have been
given the privilege of the Country
club, and who have graced it with
their presence a number of times,
came to the conclusion a short time
ago to do something which would ma
terially benefit the beauti1uI new club
building.
1t was decided that a certain num-
Der of ladies would take charge of the
arrangements of giving a big dinner
party, which, like the famous Bryan
dinner, would cost the guest one dol
lar a plate.
Last night the dinner was given to
more than eighty guests, and the sue
cess of the affair was most fiattering
to the charming managers.
The dinner this week was under the
direction of Miss Laura Knowles, as
sisted by a number of ladies, and was
served in four courses.
There were several private dinner
parties at the club, which were served
separately, one party consisting of Mr.
and Mrs. Bailey, of the navy yard;
Miss Daisye Hyer, Mr. Knowles Ryer,
Miss Laura Knowles and her guest
Miss Mamie Rosel.
The tables were beautifully decorat-
ed in carnations, cut glass and silver,
and the large number of guests pres
ent were delighted with the dainty
service and splendid dinner
The young ladies will devote the pro-
ceeds from the entertainment they will
give from time to time to buying new

LETTUCE IS A
PAYING CROP
Believed 1t Will Grow Here
AS Well AS In North
Carolina.

Speaking of lettuce and the soil
necessary for its cultivation, the Fo-
ley Onlooizer, published in Baldwin
county, of recent date, says:
F. Il. WEIGH, the commission man,
who is well known in this locality,
sends me following clipping relative
to the lettuce industry in North Caro-
lima, ana states that being familiar
with both the North Carolina district
and with Baldwin county, he is GER
tain that Baldwin county can do bet
ter with lettuce that the Carolinas, if
the crop is so timed as to reach the
northern market the last half Of
March and on through April into May,
and asks that the farmers go after
this lucrative business.
Eastern North Carolina has come
to be a wonderful producer of fine
market lettuce.
Lettuce that goes out in December
brings anywhere from 81 to SIS a bar
rel, while that shipped in March
brings from 81 to SO, and as barrel
holds about 20 head, it is not hard to
see where the profit comes in. The
