WILMINGTON.

At 3 special meeting of the Ladies' Aid society, held per appointment Monday afternoon. the 12th, 1t was voted by aoolamatione to hold box social in the conference room on the evening of Tuesday, Sept. 2Oth. Con- mittee of arrangements, Miss Lillian Mathews, Nellie Carpenter, Mabel Elaine Clark The invitation is general and large attendance is ex- pected. This social is on the basket picnic plan. Each lady packs a lunch for two in box, the boxes to be sold at auction, the gentleman purchaser inviting the lady whose name is found in the box to share It's contents with him. Hot coffee will be served. There will be games and other enter. tainment and pleasant social time is exepcted.
 Along about caucus time the women wish for voice and a vote. They like to see the town represented by fit men, who have lived in the town and helped bear it's burdens and to give it commendable place in the commonwealth for period of years, who know how to meet men and un- derstar d the times and the town and it's needs. We are sorry Col. Hall has other aspirations, for we think with the former writer of this column that he should ba continuously in one branch or other of the assembly. '' The reasons for this are too obvious to need enumeration, and because a few who would like to go "for the fun' criticise, is no reason for his not having the nomination. If the 'assem bly, we like the old-fash- ioned name for the general court, ' was made entirely of those who went for the fun" or for the sake of say ing they had been, what would be- come of the usefulness or the dignity of the body? Some of those who would ba able members are incapaoi- tated by deafness, but there are others.
