guages that they don't call them,
selves in public, and the public in
revenge call them many other
names. They have been. called the
polyglot club from the many writ
ten and the one or more unwritten
languages they speak. They have
been called the sparkling and the
co'ting club. I can't say why. They
have been called the Septuagint
but they have outgrown this. Their
emblem is a green badge covered
with gold lettering in many tongues.
Their public function, most lauda-
Bile one, seems to be the giving of
feasts. To these they invite your
correspondent, their benefactor and
other chosen and kindred spirits.

ergo the feasts are perforce beyond
praise. 81
On Tuesday evening last at the
residence of Mr.. L. F. Dorm and the
home of the fair vice president one
of these feasts was spread. Among
the honored guests of the occasion
were Miss Helen Smith, of New
berry; Mr.. Moore, of Greenville;
your late correspondent, Don Quix-
ote, and Sancho Panza, the discover
er of the hat and Mrs. Panza.
In the absence of the clubs presi-

Miss Martha Dorm, conducted the
ceremonies, acted as. gracious hostess
and mad desthe guests pay toll IN
speech and song. DR.. Bell gave the.
young folks advice counsel, and ad-
monition. Mr.: Fowler praised their
hospitality. Mrs. Fowler their elo-
quence and that of Cicero. Mr..
Dorm said come again. Mr.. Moore
said we'll come, and Miss Smith
charmed with song and solo. The
solemn rites of the club we're per-
formed by Misses Dorm and Bell and
Messrs. d. N. Dorm, ]. III. Elkins,
Jas. Parks and D. A. Bell, and mys-

startling public events. Of course
Parksville is on tip-toe to discover
the new event and your correspond

hopes of making a scoop for The
Advertiser.
Vow, MIR. editor, all this is not
