her country home and the groom con-
tinued with the horses. When Mr..
Snedsker returned to the Mccoy place he
informed the doctor of the marriage. 81

said. The father-in-law, who recognizes
in Snedeker one Of the best trainers and
drivers IN the country, disabussd his
mind on this score. "Eleanor is of age"
the father said, "and knows what she
is doing. You are my son.in.IaW. The

CENTURY CLUB MEMBERSHIP
The Ladies Of the Club Gladly
Welcome All Ladies'

The Century Club of the ladies of Mid.
dletown will hold the first fall meeting of
their organization on Tuesday the llth
of October, when social reception win
be held undePth charge of Mrs. J. G.
Sites and Miss Bessie Anderson. Re.
freshments will be served as usual.
In its social aspect the club has already
admirably demonstrated its usefulness to
this community, and has also evinced a
willingness to help in furthering certain
reforms looking to the civic betterment
of our town. We take it that the gener-
GUS helping hand lent the club by those
ladies of the town who are not members,
in making the late notable Midway Car.
nival, etc. the great success it proved, is
hopeful sign that many of those ladies
may be willing to join the club, and by
their permanent efforts aid in making it
the important factor it might and should
become in the social, intellectual and
moral progress of our town. The TRAM
SCRIPT deeply deplores the exhibition of
any spirit of jealousy or criticism that
would tend to anything like social dis.
union or class cleavage.
The Century Club is not in any sense
"close corporation" or an exclusive socia
affair, but an organization of ladies seek
ing their own social and other improve.
ment and pleasure and that of their com
munity, that will gladly welcome to its |
circle any lady in the town with leisure
or desire to share its privileges and parti.
cipate in it's labors. The club is aware
that to accomplish to the highest degree
its usefulness as social and civic power
in the community, it must have num-
bers-must have the enthusiastic support
and personal help of many who have as
yet failed to enroll themselves among
their membership. Why may not the
ladies of Middlstown get together for their
mutual pleasure and benefit from all
sections of our town without regard to
beliefs, social tastes or afilia-
tions, or so-called class distinctions what.
soeverP It is surprising how much more
agreeable people who hold themselves
aloof from others upon fancied grounds
merely, find one another to be when
once they actually get togethei! These
Misunderstanding and imaginary jeal.
Ousies are born of disunion, and disap.
pear when social union is effected. Try
it, you ladies all, of Middletown by join
ing the other ladies of the Century Club
and sharing in their work and in their
enioyments. They all bid US declare you
are more than welcome!

The bake and bazaar given by the
ladies Of Middletown last Saturday, for
the benefit of the lad now in the Sanator.
ium at Towando, Pa, was proba bly, the
most successful affair Of the kind ever
given bere. Every thing belonging \
the bazaar was beautiful and most of th
things were sold before noon. Something
over forty dollars was cleared from the
fancy articles. y
The bake was first-class as is always
the case in Middletown. No better cooks
can be found anywhere than can be found
right here, and on Saturday everybody
sent her best cake and pies, and even
then the supply was scarcely equal to the
demand. Eighty-three dollars were
taken in during the day. Nearly forty
dollars had already been presented and
more was taken in from other sources.
The amount has already reached SI83,
and the ladies have strong hopes of rails
ing it to 5000. The late Mr.. Edward
