had a most entertaining meeting
Tuesday night About 40 mem
bers present and all had a nice
time, Two new members takened
in; Mrs. T. Fl. Cox and Mr.. G. B.
Miller of Trim Cain. There are
about fifteen more to be initiated
yet. The old committee on en-
tertainment' of six or more
months, standing was honorably
discharged and another immedi-
ately appointed. Nothing stands
in their way. The 1st. Tuesday
night in next month the mem
bers will enjoy such a straw ber-
ry and an ice cream festival as
was never had in Starkville. It
is to be regretted that each mem
Der can only invite one guest,
but it seemed the only feasable
outcome. With a membership
of more than 100 it will be seen
that more than 800 souls must
be provided for.
The boys and girls Of this com
mittee will have TO work as child
rem never before worked, but
they are equal to the emergecy.
Mr.. Phil A. Jones is chairgman

member will render him all aid
